Everything happened in an instant. It was like one moment we were connected and then the next we weren’t. I can’t understand why he would even think that being separated from each other would be a good idea. That’s when she happened, oh how I despise her very existence. She just had to walk up to him with this gleeful, ugly ass smile and speak to him in such a way that made him cave. He was a weak...

The father she had never gotten to know. And though it might be hard to be...
A severed man,
connected by a ghost
that he hid inside.
Separated from the rest,
he will watch them die.
His arms are his legs,
and his legs are his hands.
His hands hold his eyes,
on his pupils he’ll stand.
He sees them walk,
over him on right feet.
He sees them walk,
but he can’t bend his knees.
The man tries to talk,
but the people, they leave.
The man tries to live,
but his life s...

Lucas was immediately sent to work at a construction site, where he would load a...

We had to fine solace in something and to us, that had been each other.
Too bad our p...
Do you remember back, oh my, 20+ years ago?
Back in college, all that crazy fun?
And the drama, that was there as well.
We were so connected back then.
But we aged, and moved on, as people do.
New lives, new interests, new paths.
Some for the better, some for worse.
We were separated.
But we reached out, decided to meet up again.
So gleeful, as if nothing had really changed!!...

Write a dual narrative from two characters on different sides of a disagreement.
