drabble day 3: swan dilemma

dilemmas don't hatch themselves. no. someone has to sit on something to make it happen. a secret. a regret. hide a lazy move. tell a lie.

swans don't makes nests in swamps. they chose picturesque lakes in the center of ivy league universities. coves on the edge of the sea drapped in weeping willows. monet paintings.

a pearl is a dilemma to an oyster. pain wrapped in saliva and agitation. changes the flavor.

dilemmas can be quirky or devistating. they can take the shape of a cake. a wreck. something straight out of the fairy godmothers' cottage kitchen.

swans bite.
