My head was thumping. I was having trouble thinking.
Oh God!
I shot straight up, realizing the lump in the bed next to me was alive and possibly awake. A sliver of light broke through the darkened hotel room.
Minutes ticked by while my mind raced to remember.
Why was I in a hotel room? Convention, yeah, we were at a convention. Who was we? Me and my three closest friends.
A late night of shots and gambling left me hazy as to the details. The other three lumps began stirring. Three heads started popping up, then burrowing back into their pillows and back up again. If I had a mallet I could have played whack-a-mole.
I flipped on the lamp.
Holy mackerel!
I fell asleep with my friends in the room and woke up with three trolls instead. These women were able to completely change the shape and color of their features.
I have a heart-shaped birthmark on my cheek. I like to tell young tattooed people it started as a little heart by my eye. But by the time I’m eighty it’ll have fallen to my boob and look like an arrow pointing straight to hell. I digress.
That mark is always there no matter how much stuff I try to cover it with. I feel like a throw back to the Jurassic period.
I was on my knees praying to Maybelline to save me.
Holy Sephora! How’d they do that Cover Girl?
Why cover it? It might mean you are that long lost princess who has riches galore waiting to be found. One never knows. 😉

I like this idea, The Rule of Three Writers Challenge, seems intriguing. And I must agree, why cover the heart? Wear it with pride, somewhere out there, a kingdom is looking for you, Deidra. 😉

Yes, I know this post is all about me. I admit it, I have a gift when it comes to make-up. I am not, shall we say, a natural beauty. BUT I’m not sure I like ‘troll’. We can’t all be born with great looks and a sparkling personality Miss D – that’s just you!
