“This latest Trifecta prompt has caused me nothing but trouble. Honestly, it’s been troubling me all day,” she answered.
“What’s the trouble?”
“The word this week is ‘trouble.’ It’s a real troubler for me. And I’m having trouble trying to figure out a way to use this troublesome word.”
“Should we try a little troubleshooting?”
“I’m too troubled to take the trouble. You see, there’s trouble afoot because of the deadline approaching. Plus, I was a bit of a troublemaker yesterday.”
“Well, now you’re in double trouble. What did you do to get into this deep trouble?”
“I caused trouble by questioning the Trifecta overlords. I told them there was trouble on the home front. And that it was so much trouble that I wasn’t sure I’d be submitting this week.”
“Well, there’s definitely trouble a-brewin’ now. Why’d you have to go and get yourself in trouble?”
“I know. I should never have made trouble. That’s the trouble with this whole thing.”
