Trifecta

 

This week's challenge: Using between 33 and 333 words, compose something that includes the third definition of the following word:


BITCH (noun)
1: the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals
2 a : a lewd or immoral woman
   b : a malicious, spiteful, or overbearing woman —sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse
3: something that is extremely difficult, objectionable, or unpleasant

I give you exactly 33 words:


The errant mitten left on the bus. A chipped and neglected pedicure. Chapped lips. Dry, itchy skin, especially that spot in the middle of my back I can’t reach. Winter is a bitch.

You are so dead on the money with this post! Old Man Winter can pack his bags and get out of Dodge any time now, if you ask me. Very economical and efficient use of your words here. Well done.
