Taken directly from the Trifecta site … “Forty-three years ago today, Neil Armstrong became the first person to ever walk on the moon. In celebration of Moon Day we want you to write 33 words about someone who took a giant leap. It can mean whatever you’d like, just make sure you write exactly 33 words.”
Here’s my entry. I was moved to write it while gazing out the window at the world below me, desperately trying to look away from the girl clutching a barf bag on my left.

We just reached 10, 000 feet.
Seatbelt signs off.
Laptop powered on.
Hats off to Orville and Wilbur for taking a famous leap on December 17, 1903.
Well done, boys.
Posted from the sky.

Love the last line
Thanks, Wyman. It was fun writing it.
Splendid.
Thanks, Viv. I liked yours, too. As it brought to mind my good friend … cheese.
A reminder just how far our fav form of travel has come. Who’d have thought we’d ever post anything from the sky?
Totally what I thought. I heart technology. Sometimes.
Most excellent use of the prompt! “Hats off,” indeed! I love the mood of both excitement and gratitude in the piece! Welcome home, ODNT!
Thanks, Amy. Good to be back. 🙂
I had to laugh because I seem to always be around someone holding a sick bag. Great response to the prompt!
Me, too, Janna. Me, too. Thanks. 🙂
Go you for getting it in 33 words and avoiding barf bag girl in the process 😉
It’s a gift. A gift of avoiding those who vomit in my general area. I’ve only recently cultivated it as I used to be the actual target of those who fell sick in my proximity.
Yes, I am being completely serious.
Oh no! Please tell me she didn’t let rip. 😦
Great job on the prompt. Very impressive it was done from the sky. 🙂
She maintained. Head down on tray table the entire flight. Thank God.
I think of the poor people I tortured around me when I was puking through a flight. I was 9 weeks pregnant and booked a morning flight (talk about dumbassery).
Thanks so much for linking up this weekend. I love how you used your location for inspiration. Having done a lot (too much) air travel this summer, I can definitely relate. It’s absolutely mind-boggling. All of it. Great job with the prompt. Hope to see you back again soon.
Nice one, ONT.Ilovethisone.
