STORY STARTER
Submitted by Lana Rose
Time keeps randomly stopping around you, and you think it is you who is doing it. Then one night you are at a party, and time stops. Everyone is frozen, except one person at the other end of the room...
Revive Me
Frozen time feels like a heartbeat
Quickly the time passes
A beat, or two
You can never really tell
Sometimes I hear three beats
Others I hear none
Until one day, a rhythm appeared.
Not the normal crotchet rhythm
This new, different
A crotchet
A quaver
A semiquaver
A demisemiquaver
The drum gets faster
The heartbeat speeds up
My lungs grasp onto passing breath
Like a kid in a candy shop
I want more air
I NEED more air
Until I don’t.
My lungs are no longer grasping for air
I feel revived
Or I would, if I was alive.
