“Don’t say it.”
“Say what?”
“What you’re thinking.”
“Man, my feet hurt, it is cold and dark out here and I got to take a shit and you want to play guessing games?”

This weekend’s www.trifecta.com 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. Any reference to the TV show could result in another visit to see the editors in the Trifecta offices.

Best use of crude language (didn’t feel like forced shock value) that I’ve read recently. Felt genuine, with that necessary touch of mystery. Well done.

Yeah, I felt poop or crap wouldn’t cut being authentic. Thanks. I appreciate your comments.

Hilarious. Awesome. I love this one. I thought about how funny it would be to write from the perspective of being lost. I’m glad I didn’t because you rocked it.

That’s funny! I especially liked what the second person was really thinking instead of “We’re lost”

Thanks. I just imagined what I would have said; didn’t have enough words left to express what I wanted to do though. Not knowing if you need to pass gas or not is definitely not comfortable.

Been lost for hours before on a hike around Lake Tahoe. Sounds kinda like the conversation that took place between us hikers. Funny take!

I think we’ve all experienced a cheek squeezing event at one time or another. At least in the woods you can have some privacy and if worse comes to worse you always have underwear (thong wearers should take this into consideration when hiking) that can be used for toilet paper (not that I’d know anything about such problems….ha ha). I care about what you think; I think the question now should be whether or not you care what I think. smiles…
