Dark Spirit

This weekend's Trifextra challenge: write a 33-word piece about a beast in an unusual place. I've encountered this beast many, many times.


The benevolent beast in the Bacardi Black bottle

     assures me I can dance

         convinces me I'm irresistible to all men

             transforms me into a total badass

                 makes sure I remember none of it

    Hahaha! Forgetting it all isn't bad. The only problem is that everyone else remembers and have the YouTube videos to prove it :)

    If only I could keep the beast on the first point, I'd have a lot more fun at parties. But that last point is an important one, for sure. :)

      I think the last point may be the most important one. :) Thanks for reading!

    Those magical nights with Johnny. (Or was it Jose?) I can't remember, but I'm sure we had a good time. At least I think we did...I confess I was too busy worshiping the porcelain god.

    Brilliant Ivy! This has my vote:)
