So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

But it's a *pretty* word!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can't see them change. Sometimes you can't see them at all, and wonder where their flexing and releasing went, how it can hide itself so deeply.
But the dress you bought three weeks ago, in a large because medium wouldn't come off past your shoulders without you calling in a friend for help, sticks on your shoulders as you try to get it off. A pull, a twist, and you're saved embarassment.
Extra large? Really?
You look in the mirror again. They look like shoulders. Yours. Nothing more, nothing special.
What a strange lie for a reflection to tell.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

You dropped the "u'". It's supposed to be cousine. All about girly cousins in the banlieus of Paris. Kind of like the old Patty Duke Show, but with a cherchez la femmes feel.
Perkins, do song titles. Pick a song title, your choice, and write a drabble around it.
Alternately, cake.
Or footsteps/footprints.
Or nerves.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
filament. firmament. filbert. filet. fillet.
There's an f and l theme here in this post.
ita, yours is very conversational, very you.
Daisy, I like yours a lot. I can't wait to see what you settle on as your final version.

I like that word.
Not that I get a vote, since I can't find time to write even 100 words anymore.

Errr...I was asking for words for my topic pick, not topics. All of your suggestions have been added to my list though. As I mentioned, I will be doing song titles, though slightly differently from your suggestion.

Then I'm completely not getting what it is you're asking for. What is it exactly that you need, and what's the end purpose?
Words? Just individual words? Footsteps is a word. So is nerves. So is cake.
Not getting it. What do you need single words for? Purpose, please, ma'am?
