Our words are:
Devilish
Dervish
Drizzle
Derelict
Drywall
Dandelion
Deafen
Darkness
Dopamine ((n.) a catecholamine neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, retina, and
sympathetic ganglia, acting within the brain to help regulate movement and emotion)
Diapason ((n.) a full, rich outpouring of melodious sound: the compass of a voice or instrument: a fixed standard of pitch.)
Drench
Dispensation
She had thought it was a game for Halloween, but the devilish taunting laughter soon made her realise otherwise, and her body became drenched in sweat.
She could just make out a drywall structure in the shadows of the derelict church.
Her pleas for dispensation and mercy fell on deafened ears, her arms flailing like a dervish trying to fend off her assailants as they dragged her to their makeshift sacrificial altar.
Her dopamine failed her when a dandelion cocktail was forced through her lips, the amber liquid drizzling down her chin as a haunting diapason drifted her into darkness.
Her last conscious thought was wanting her mother.
Nicely done Di, it was a dervish of a task I thought, dastardly difficult.
it was a bit of a devil to do this week.
Very clever use of all the words!
thank you. I wasn’t sure about a couple!
Perfect words in perfect order – and it makes sense. Winner!
Thanks very much! I was really unsure if I’d used a couple correctly.
Scarily good–and I found the ending so interesting, that she wanted her mother…
When death is inevitable, I guess it’s not unusual to want a parent.
No, not unusual…guess I was thinking about my own parents, who would not be the ones I’d reach out for.
Ah, I understand. Take care.
Thank you.
