(DEMOS: unfinished prompts I will not be finishing)

Hey [beep], you awake?

Don’t worry, I’m up.

Even though I’m wading,

Neck deep in this rut.

I don’t know why

You keep up this lie

You know it’s false

And it ruins my life

You say you care,

Then set me aflame

With your name given

Just to cause me pain.

[beep]? Yes, Sir.

He’s present, he’s here

Kept alive by your memory

Made out of hate, I fear

Wh...

_“Riya, wake up” _

I hear the_ _reminder bounce around in the back of my head, though it is quickly drowned out by blare of the alarms, whining and wailing like raid sirens. I feel the heavy weight of grogginess and exhaustion fall on me as I swing my legs over the side of the stiff, rusty bed frame. But this is what I endure every day. Today is no exception, and I have learned not to expect ther...

The voice isn’t stopping. It never stops. It is always in the back of my mind. It never goes away. At first I only heard it the moment I woke up in the morning, but now it never leaves my head. Always pounding its message, like a ticking clock. Today it’s the worst it’s ever been. Today instead of just nagging at the back of my mind, it’s as if it’s the main topic of the conversation. It’s taking ...

sweat on my face. sweat on my pillow. i hear it, slowly getting quieter, but today, it was louder than ever before.

my name is being called. i can’t identify who it is, i can’t identify if it’s male or female, it’s just…_ a voice_.

i go through my day, still wondering, like i have been for over a year now, who that voice belongs to.

it hits me like a brick on the head. it’s my voice. i’m c...

"Kathy."

The voice says the first night.

"Kathy.!"

The voice says a second time.

"Kathy!"

The voice still croons.

"KATHY."

"KATHY!"

"hmm?" says Kathy.

"You need to get ready for work."

"hmm? oh yeah i forgot."

So Kathy got ready for work.

And the voice no longer crooned to her.

The end....

Whispers in the dawn

My name is the one

Hearing every morning

Louder is the calling...

Setting: bedroom, windows are floor to ceiling, The walls are white, the bed is large enough for two people.

Character: Female, 30 years

The name of the character is Meghan.

The character hears a soft voice calling her name. This has been ongoing for a week.

At first, it was not a big deal, as the day passes, the voice becomes louder.

Who is the character?

The character is a normal woman whose mot...

At first, a whisper in the night. Your name it says sweetly. Like it might want you there in its cave. Like a shadow passing below the waves under the boat, sinister and secretive. Or perhaps a shrouded figure standing in the doorway to your room, it’s head slightly tilted. Or the one at the end of your bed, hands tightened around the tools it’s brought along. Initially, the whispers were quiet an...

TW: passive suicidal ideation

Waking up in the morning,

Every day it’s the same

As the sun rises,

Death calls my name

It started with a whisper,

A lulliby in my ear

Saying this can all end,

You don’t have to be here

That I could be squashed,

Like a bug on a wall

That it would be such a relief,

To not be here at all

But as the day goes on,

I climb out of despair

Unintentionally distracted,

Wi...

It calls my name

Droning sound length wise quietly slow hum expanding like a bubble

It gets louder speeds up faster screech to the point of unhearing...
