"Car keys????!"
"Where did you leave them?"
My brain spontaneously combusts.
"You check the car door?"
"Yes."
"Hood?"
"No."
"How can you lose your keys every day?"
"It's a gift. And a curse."

Trifextra: Week Eight
This weekend's challenge is to write a story entitled 'Lost' in exactly 33 words. The word 'lost' can only appear in the title, not your 33 words.
Sorry...I'm still on this, so I have to do one more. Here is some internal dialogue:
Lost
Don't panic. You drove here! They have to be around here somewhere. Belt loop? Purse? Again, purse? Diaper bag? Car door? Other belt loop? Pockets? Really? Wait. They're in your hand, dumbass. Seriously?

In 33 words you told the story of my life!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Someday my keys will truly evaporate into thin air for real. I just know it.
DeleteI love this! It's funny because it's true. "My brain spontaneously combusts" made me smile in recognition.
ReplyDeletelove the second one especially. Can't tell you how many times hubbymoose and I have searched frantically for keys, glasses, purse, etc., etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteI know how that goes. Lost my keys many times and sometimes have locked them inside the car.
ReplyDeleteLost Thingy
ReplyDelete"'s gone"!
"Wassat"?
"Thingy! 's gone! I can't..."
"Hmmmm! Can't you..."?
"Maybe. 'spose I could ... you know"?
"What"?
"What"?
"Dunno. What're we taking 'bout"?
"We were talking? Sorry! Memory ... put it down somewhere..."
Even better. :o)
Deletei do this all the time as well
ReplyDeleteCute. I never used to lose things so often until I became a dad. Kids eat your brain.
ReplyDeleteI bet in some cultures that is actually literally true.
DeleteHaha! Reminded of the time my daughter put my keys in the floor vent. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteSounds just exactly like me. I'm TERRIBLE for losing the keys, my pohone, at the moment my wallet, and all kinds of essentials.
ReplyDeleteSounds like mornings in my house. A fun 33 words.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've struck a chord with a lot of the readers! Great response to the prompt. Thanks for linking up and hopefully see you for the weekday challenge starting on Monday.
ReplyDeleteLove this! We've ALL been there it seems. I like your brain combusting, it feels like it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBoy have we all been there! I like this story, it definitely gets the idea across. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the challenge, girl!
Good one! My problem? I rarely ever put my keys and purse in the same spot when I get home. Sometimes they're thrown on the table, sometimes on my dresser!
ReplyDeleteKeys: vanity in my bedroom under a heap of stuffed animals(not my stuffed animals)
DeletePhone: bedside table
Wallet: kitchen counter(I hope)
There is a chance I won't be late for my appointment this morning. :o)
