Friday's 55 words of fiction:
Shear terror. Indecisiveness was familiar, but fear that rendered her breathless while filling her eyes with wet made dithering almost unbearable. Below her, far far below her-- the ground. The longer she gazed at it, the further away it seemed. Could she really take the plunge?
She closed her eyes. What is life, without risk?
Me gusta mucho! :)

Mon cher A to the T - that's the whole idea!! Looking forward to your 55!
A to the J: I like it! Doing this every Friday with my friends makes me happy - like we are connected by more than just the Interwebs.

Nice ... sent a little chill down my spine, but my attention drifted toward your well worded story again. There's been a time before when I felt everything was crashing into me ... don't know if that's natural, but feel like everyone goes through a rough patch ... may be that's why I felt my spine shiver a bit ... could relate to the story :-).
ps: I stopped by sepia and then hopped on to read your weblog. Nice work here...

Nice!!just one small teeny weeny thing.
Shouldn't it be "Sheer" terror...unless terror was being sheared. :)

The "Shear" is intentional, but good catch anyway. ;)
It's an allusion to something...
