I love this! It’s a fun twist on the prompt, and lamps everywhere are thanking you right now for finally giving them the recognition they deserve! Well done!
I try to do my best for the lamps whenever I can, Valerie! 😉 Thank you – I so enjoyed writing this.
Now THAT is an interesting POV! I had never considered things from the lamp’s perspective :))
Glad you liked it, Jo-Anne! 🙂
let there be light
And there was! 😉
Geez, that lamp is smart. Imaginative take on the challenge.
Oh yes, that’s one hot lamp! 😉 Thank you, Tess.
All hail the bright lights than illuminate the way forward. Nice, airy piece. Thanks for sharing our great work.
Ah yes, what would we be without the light. I love Trifecta – so glad I found it!
Ha! I actually thought the question was meant for the dentist. I liked this piece. 33 words? That’s some challenge. I find it hard to express in 55er. This is superb!
Thanks, Kajal. Like I mentioned to Richa, my English teachers always found fault with my brevity – now who’s having the last laugh? 😉
I like the twist in this – I thought the conversation was with the hygienist.
I’m glad you liked it, Janna. 🙂
33 words! It keeps getting shorter and shorter :).
Oh yes, Rachna. The shorter the better for me! 😉
Even lamps need someone to throw light on what they do 🙂
Oh yes, I’m the lamp’s assistant, Suresh! 😉
Corinne, loved this. and only 33 words.unbelievable.
Thanks, Kalpana.
😀 That was funny! Clever one, Corinne.. 🙂
Thanks, Vaisakh. I so enjoyed this!
🙂 I loved that!
Oh dear! 33 words………and you managed to create humorous piece with a word ‘TOOTH’….Wonderful job!!! 🙂
I feel I may not even write my name in 33 words 😛 I know a bad joke but this is really challenging , and a convo between patient and lamp is unique
Stylish! Very cool twist to that one. Honestly, one I didnt think of while reading the title and first line.
Bravo, Corinne! 33 words eh? Quite a challenge, that.
haha!
Brilliant twist! 😀
Anything pertaining to the dentist makes me sweat now!! 😛
33 words!! This is something new!! And you did wrote a fabulous story in 33 words!! Cool 🙂
