This challenge is hosted by Sonya – @ Only 100 Words – The idea? 3 lines about the picture, no matter how long or short, but only three lines!
Chipped
She keeps telling me it’s time to go, but all I can see is her nail polish
reflecting the gaudiness of her sequinned sweater, costume jewelry,
and she’s right: there’s somewhere else I need to be
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I linked up — why not take a whirl, it could be fun for you too!
From Sonya, Week 30 Three Line Tales, Guidelines:
“Check the TLT page for the full guidelines, but here’s the gist:
- Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt.
- Link back to this post.
- Tag your post with 3LineTales (so we can find you in the Reader).
- Read and comment on other TLT participants’ lines.
- If you want your post to be included in the round-up, you have until Sunday evening to publish it.
- Have fun.
Happy three-lining!”
I have to admit, I had to fight not to include something about her nail polish in my story. It was the first thing that stuck out at me as well haha

I don’t think her nail polish is actually chipped, but something about the quality of it — stuck out to me. There’s more to the story…

The color did it for me. Almost as though the watch complimented her nails, and not the other way around

It’s like too metallic, like a plastic metallic look…maybe the otherworldliness…or maybe she’s a robot? Hmmmm…..now that I think about it….

The nail polish stood out for me too, and not in a good way. Still, there’s something otherworldly about her, the way shes holding the timepiece, tilt of head and that hair. Maybe where she’s from, nailpolish is used to close a circuit and switch on a teleporting device…

I wanted to focus on the watch, but it seems to be the calm in the proverbial storm — perhaps the eye of the storm {?} — in the image to me. Thank you 🙂

It is a bit gaudy, isn’t it? A bit late to the TLT party this week, but liked your tale – a good way to show a relationship and what the lady with the nail polish is like. I’d want to be elsewhere too 🙂 Great story
