Thursday and the power of words

Pick a verb from this list of 'powerful verbs', and write a drabble around it and your character.


Marce writes about the word gossip, as seen in a conversation with her best friend. 


"You never let go of it, did you?" 
Ida shook her head as her gaze drifted off to where her daughters were playing. "I want them to be spared from the hell we went through growing up." 
I could only bite my lip. "People will gossip, even if you try to make them stop. I know you moved up here to protect your kids, but they have to face the world someday." 
"My mother said that, and look where it got me," she said, showing her scarred wrists. 
I sighed. Sometimes my therapist forgot that she needed to heal herself.
