Three Word Wednesday CLII

Written for 3WW
The words this week are:
Fracture, Noise, and Vanish.

Here's mine:

WISHFUL THINKING
Oh, if only you could make a fracture vanish, by making a noise. Why, you'd just break a leg, pour out the coco pops, and say, 'that's that then'. In real life, you get the fracture, make the noise and it doesn't vanish.

Three Word Wednesday CLI

Written for 3WW.
The words this week are:
Decay, Graceful, and Riot.

Here's mine:

PROLETARIAT? PERHAPS!
Decay and revolution, as graceful as a starvation riot. The proletariat storm The Bastille, hoping for a crust of bread. Polishing her nails, she dismisses them, "give them cake, to eat," she says.

Three Word Wednesday CXLIX

Written for 3WW CXLIX
The words this week are
Accentuate, glamour, and pitch.

Here's mine:

DAVID BECKHAM
In his heyday he was arguably the best passer of the ball.
He was able to accentuate the glamour on and off the pitch.
But with all that money, how could he remain hungry enough to score?
