You can find more Six Sentence Sunday writers here.The girl’s mouth dropped open. ‘Ya know, smeared.’ When his blank look persisted, she rolled her eyes. ‘Smeared, wiped, ghasted…’He shook his head, not getting it.‘Killed.’
Author's Note: 'Ghasted' is not a typographical error. However, as we use 'ghosted' to mean killed, I reasoned it was entirely possible a fantasy culture, in which undead ghasts exist, would use 'ghasted' in the same fashion we use 'ghosted'.

Great snippet, I really liked the punchy pace.
Great six. I think he gets it now!
Don't you just hate explaining things? Lol! Great six!
Thanks :-)
He gets it, but there's a little more yet to th explanation which will come next week.
Oh yes... and the trick is to explain without boring the reader! Thanks :-)
Well, duh! :) Fun six, Ciara.
Ah, I love this! I wish more people would invent slang for their fantasy worlds. It's completely reasonable (and realistic)!
Thanks!
I can tell you why - it's HARD! I swear my brain nearly imploded coming up with this. OK, maybe not... but it hurt. :-)
Love it! I've found quite a few memorable female characters in this week's posts--it's great to lose the damsel-in-distress attitude :) Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I like how I feel her "internal" head slap happening. ;-)
Oh I don't do damsels in distress! Can't abide them. Wait until you meet Astarl! She'd almost throw up at the very thought of having to pretend to be a damsel in distress!
That's awesome! It's always nice to know a piece of writing has worked.
