Trifecta Weekend Writing Challenge: A 33-Word Letter of Apology

For this week’s challenge, you have to write a letter of apology in exactly 33 words. Addresses, salutations, closings, etc. (should you wish to include them) do not count in the 33 words.

Dear Ms. Pinkie,

On behalf of myself and the entire team, I would like to extend our heart-felt apologies in conjunction with the abrupt severing of our relationship last Thursday. It was purely accidental.

I remain,

The Hand from Whence You Came

 

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oops!

 

Wahoo! 

The Tullberry Todgrass Brooch Scandal came in 2nd in last week’s Trifecta Writing Challenge!

Until next time . . . I love you

  1. bwahahahaha! awww poor pinkie, alas we know her no more.

  2. You have my vote this week for sure! I loved this story. LOVED it! Great wit you have. What a deliciously dark, twisted humor here. Reminds me of a black comedy that I watched a long time ago, called Burke and Hare, with the same sort of humor as your story here. And its (loosely) based on a true story. Not sure if you will like it, but here is more info just in case you might be interested in seeing it:

    Enjoy! :D

  3. Good one! So sterile – I hope the cut was! ;)

  4. I love “the team.” And that Pinkie is/was female. Good stuff!

  5. Ahhh! It took me a second, but I got it at severing. This one made me wince! Good job!

  6. Hi,
    Oh the pain of it all.
    I loved it good one. :D

  7. Hahaha! I’m assuming that Darkside Peanuts came up with that story line? Very funny.
    Congrats on “The Tullberry Todgrass Brooch Scandel.” That had WINNER written all over it. Great job!

  8. great one! there’s not much more to say to it, is there ;)

  9. Oh. My. God.
    I cringed while laughing. Unusual experience…

  10. Oh God!! VERY good though!

  11. My husband did this to his hand. Sadly he knew he miscalulated the cut, but he was already in motion, and the blade took his finger tip. Oh yes, I love the response to the challenge.

  12. I laughed out loud. Silly, funny, and at the same time scary. My knees got a little mooshy there especially when I saw the blade. :-) Great job.

  13. The word ‘severed’ usually leaves me convulsing. And my brain is now stuck on a continual tape loop of the word. (Shudder.)

  14. Great take on the prompt. Made me pause for a moment and count each one of my digits just to be sure :) .

  15. I’ve heard of giving someone the finger, but that was an especially unkind cut… : (
