The Rule of Four? Or 55?

Yay yay yay!!! So glad to know Sepia Mutiny left me a fantastic 55 flash fiction challenge to work on when I got back!!! Last week was the "Poetry of Math" edition commemorating April, which is both apparently National Poetry Month (for the US) and Mathematics Awareness Month. Hence, the challenge was to either write a poem in Fibonnacci sequence, in which the syllables in one line MUST equal the sum of the syllables in the previous two lines, topping up with 8 syllables in the last line.

Hence the syllables in each line would be, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
For example:

0
is
the
first number
in this peculiar
sequence of Mr. Fibonacci

or rather, Hemchandra-ji (as, if you will read in their link above, pretty much everything scientific of importance is of Indian origin). However, Abhi, one of the site contributors, decided to go all out and pose a challengers to us dilettantes: a flash fiction in 55 words, using the Fibonnacci sequence, such that the syllable count is 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. Hence the highly painstakingly-before giving up edited result below:

…
she
looked
at him
anxiously.
“You can always share
my bed”. He said. Immense relief
and gratitude flooded her as he tacitly
accepted her. His legendary bruises on her neck burned as the disturbed dreams of travelers past crowded her subconscious, converging on that hotel pillow in a menagerie of silent screams of desperation.

Try try try!!!

Yay!!!
