Close Encounter

Trifextra: Week Sixty-Five


Your challenge this weekend is to give us 33 words about anything you want.  Your piece must include at least one hyphenated compound modifier. 



I chose to continue my 150-word story and photo prompt from here for this Trifextra.


While Libby's short-lived encounter with the vanishing chairs was chilling, she continued her jog trying to focus on things not out of the ordinary. That field of empty chairs was just too unnerving.



(Libby's evolving story continues here.)

  1. a whole story in 33 words, I felt her running to shake it all off. "Just a coincidence" I hear her muttering.

    Have a great weekend

  2. I had to go back and read the first post (that photo is eerie!) I can see why she would want to direct her mind elsewhere :)

    1. Thanks for stopping by, Janna! I hope you went to the first post out of interest and not because I didn't have enough in this entry to stand alone. Glad you saw the photo though. Wasn't sure about using a VisDare photo for a Trifextra entry.

  3. Once uponce a midday dreary, you really should develop these stories.

  5. Great story in so few words. I have a feeling the distraction of her run will not resolve the issue. Nicely done.

  7. The use of the word "jog" is brilliant here, and I hope she can find "ordinary" too. I agree with Suzanne-nice continuation of the previous piece!

  9. I heard a story once about how guardian angels sit by our beds in chairs made of their wings, but that would beg the question--what the heck were so many angels doing in that one spot all at once?

    Loved how she was determined to move on!

  10. Ooh! There's nothing I like better than a nice splash of surreal with just the right dash of Twilight Zone! :D

  13. Thank you, all, for reading and commenting. Two tiny challenges and such interest. Ummm...this started out as just a response to the empty chairs. Perhaps there will be more of Libby. Glad you like the tidbits!

  14. Yeah, empty chairs are just spooky, especially if they're all alone in a corner...
