Title: "My Sworn Enemy"

[similiesslip]

W.F. whispers my name.  His tone is gentle, not like the shrill bitchy tone my alarm adopts at unseemly hours.

“Maria,” he says.  “Do they always have to make it on time?  A tardy won’t kill them!”

But I turn away from his honeyed whispering and peel myself from my pillow.  The bitchy alarm wins again.

Children sent off to school, the whispers began

This is such a good entry and something we can all relate to.

Thank you so much for being the first person to read it!

So you liked it? Apparently the official interpretation of weak force is some kind of physics thing so I may get voted out but this seemd to apply to me.

I think we all have a W.F. hanging around our lives somewhere.

Thank you SO MUCH for giving me a comment!! I always wonder if my entries will be understandable!

I think W. F. is in all of us, luring us away from what we should or need to do in life.

I'm not always good at fighting him.

Do you feel it fits the prompt?

I'm sure there will be a lot of entries about the physic term people keep talking about. The thing is a force is that which makes you move (or tries to make you move) and I called him the weak force because when I obey his suggestions, I am following my weakness.

Thank you for commenting and letting me know I am not alone.

Yes I think it fits the prompt just fine. Now it's time for me to come up with something to write about! Grin.

Good luck! With some prompts, I have lots of ideas. This is the only one that came to me for "weak force"...

The prompts seem so random sometimes!

You did a brilliant job, love it, and WF whispers to me too, gets about a bit doesn't he?

The prompt might have sent me into unfamiliar territory....

[similiesslip]

You mean WF is CHEATING on me?!??! I mean, we broke up but that doesn't mean he's allowed to hang around you!!?!

(just teasing)

I really liked your entry too. I wish I had just half of your creativity! You're amazing!

This looks like your LJ Idol entry for next week!

And what an excellent job with a pesky prompt, too.

Legendary pity parties with the voice that encourages you not to bother, attempted subversion of your larger goals...

Now he’s the ultimate stalker ex who disobeys his restraining order. He’s always there with “my best in mind” ready to derail the train of my determination and help me coast down the crowded road of people who refuse to try.
Hahaha! It's so true! \o/

[similiesslip]

It is my entry. I guess I should tag it maybe?

I'm really glad you liked it. Working with you, I realized I am too prone to just dash off entries and move on.

You raised my mental bar and made me want to go through the steps to make my entries better. Thank you!

Fits the prompt nicely, as far as I'm concerned. I, too, had no interest in exploring the actual physics-related definition of "the weak force", but you took yours in a much more pleasant direction than I did. Good work!

cheers,
Phil

I look forward to reading yours.

Thanks for the feedback on whether mine fit the prompt:)
