STORY STARTER

Inspired by Maranda Quinn

Your protagonist has just been released from a 20 year prison sentence and has to adjust to a world that seems entirely different.

Writings

Whispers of Stone

In the quiet cradle of ancient earth,

Where time weaves tales of silent mirth,

Rocks stand steadfast, weathered and wise,

Guardians of secrets beneath endless skies.


From the shimmering quartz that catches the light,

To basalt’s dark embrace in the still of the night,

Each grain tells a story, each fissure a song,

A symphony of silence where ages belong.


Moss drapes like velvet on gr...

The Rebirth Of A Century

“What the hell happened?” I muttered to myself as I stepped out the gate, feeling astonished just looking at the scene in front of me. Dilapidated and abandoned buildings, police sirens flooding through the air and not to mention the stench of pollution filling my nostrils as the clouds of smoke and gas filled upon the air, covering the sun and sky.


I trudged down the cracked sidewalk, the shuff...

20 Years

he gets out of prison and is free


He gets fined from swearing

He can’t get a beer

He has to talk in his sissy voice

He can’t wear trousers he has to wear a skirt

Banned from everywhere, bars, pubs, and clubs

You can’t drive a truck

Pink is a dominant colour

Barbie is the best the best movie ever and is taught at school

Man is toxic

Childbirth is outlawed

You can’t say him he or she

Toilets are ...

20 To….

Out of the jumpsuit.

Off the prison block.

Form a straight line and follow suit.

Head down ignore the shakedown probably another racial dispute.

The CO in hot pursuit.

Its like a natural birth.

But the chains and cuffs.

Umbilical cord.

Think twice about the meaning of freedom.

You’ve no idea what you’re in for.


Do you feel prepared?

Or are you anxious and scared?

Rewind 20 years,

Remember how ...

The Ties That Bind Us

It was 11PM and Sam had just closed his diary for the night. Usually, he would have finished writing by 8PM and passed out on the rock-solid slab he had become used to calling a bed. But today was different and he was restless.

Prison is a tough life for anyone unlucky enough to be stuck inside a cell and Sam's experience was no different. His first few years were rough to say the least and he qui...

Crime

Too many things

Bangles and bling

What does it mean

Not what it seems


Another world

Not what I heard

Life is absurd

What was that word?


Try to survive

Go and just hide

Crime to stay alive

Jail my beehive...

Chilling Fire

"Angel, wake up."


The room was crowded with a dull buzzing sound. Ximena shook her head, as she felt she saw double. For the first thing, the woman/man infront of her looked tall/little and very robust/ petite and stared at her in contempt/pity.


The one beside them nudged them softly/harshly. "Don't get her hopes up! You only need to deliver the information required."


She/he sighed. Xim...

Free

I just got out of arizona state prison

for beating a man half to death and leaving him

out near the boarder.

“Was I wrong for what I did?”

Crooked teeth dirt in his scabs

Bones left as straight as the line I was walking

I think not

He deserved every suffering as I did in my sentence

We wouldn’t of seen eye to eye with a staring problem

He did some wrong things

As so did I,

Well life is a li...

Friend

The monster tentatively stepped out of the cage. Looking wildly around at its captors, who were standing to the side, it emerged into the abandoned ruins. It glanced at each human, waiting for them to jump at it, but they did nothing, continuing to stand motionless. After a few moments, it took off, running as fast as its six legs could take it.


The old city sprawled for miles. The layout was the...
