She
laughed in the face of adversity, handling the onslaught with gusto and
assurance. The jabs and barbs were easily repelled and she handily dispatched
the adversary. A Divorce Lawyer Superhero was born.
I
wrote this for the Week 66 Trifextra Writing Challenge where we are to write a
33 word composition about the origin of a superhero.
Your
comments are appreciated.
them kinds a superheroes can be real ****** - does that make me a villain? -
ReplyDeleteYou would only be the Villian if you are the lawyer on the other side. It's a cut throat game. Thanks Steven.
Deletehaha I'm not sure about lawyer and superhero in the same sentence but ...
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm just saying you want (need) a good one on your side. I naively thought my ex and I would go through an amicable divorce but that was not in the cards. Thanks for your comments Sam. I really like your stuff.
DeleteWell, maybe she is an anti-hero, like Wolverine. This is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Tina. Truth is, everybody is the villain in a divorce. But even I can laugh about it now. :)
DeleteI'm been througha divorce so this is painfully funny and I think I may have to cheer for her villains, lol. good job
ReplyDeleteYeah, this is written from experience. You want the superhero on your side. But, speaking as a real estate development lawyer, Im qualified to say that the whole "divorce game" is bullshit.
Deletehahahaha since I am going through a divorce...my attorney is my hero. :) lol
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate. See my response to Lance above. Thanks for your comments.
DeleteAnja, I forgot to say thanks for stopping by and I am sorry you're going through a divorce.
DeleteWell, now when I think of superhero I don't normally think of divorce lawyers which is why I got a kick out of this one, Lumdog! HA!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being a divorce lawyer for a living though, I would have a daily migraine headache! :D
It all depends on whether you need rescuing or not. :) While I could not handle the emotional BS, most divorce lawyers I know are quite happy. The make a LOT of money and they pretty much let the big stuff roll of their backs. Thanks for stopping by Linda.
ReplyDeleteSo true, its an incredible talent to argue any matter into a point of view. Even better to have someone warn you about what to expect.
ReplyDeleteAll very true. Thanks Anne. :)
DeleteA lawyer as a hero? She must be atoning for her sins. Good one!
ReplyDeleteMaybe so. :) Thanks Joe.
DeleteThis was a unique take on the prompt! It's good to have a hero so maybe you can walk away with more than shirt on your back :)
ReplyDeleteFrom experience, I can tell you it was a must. Thanks Janna.
DeleteThose are some mighty powers. I hope she uses them for good!
ReplyDeleteOnly for good. I promise. ;) Thanks Draug.
DeleteI guess hero or villain depends on her fees.
ReplyDeleteThe fees are always high. :/ thanks Bjorn!
DeleteHa!ha!I love this idea Lumdog & I also like the lively suit she dons:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Atreyee. Glad you liked her courtroom attire! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this Lumdog! Creative use of the prompt — your opening line is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Suzanne! :)
DeleteCan't relate to the concept of divorce, luckily enough for me. I assume that bitterness, disappointment, betrayal, even Hate, are the emotions of the moment during a divorce case so, if you can find someone who can make you somewhat bulletproof during the process then, that sounds like a superhero to me.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry that your marriage ended as it did (as well as to the other commentators who revealed the same.) Hope your future path leads you down happier trails. :)
Thanks Tom. Yeah, a divorce is a terrible thing to have to go through and it is made worse by the fact that the parties and sometimes, their lawyers throw gasoline on the fire. I was sort of making fun of these lawyers.
DeleteUgh. They really can be heroes at times, can't they? My friends have benefitted much from having the right gal or guy on their side. Creative take. Remember to come back to vote, ok?
ReplyDeleteThanks Tri. :)
