STORY STARTER

Write a story that takes place entirely while the characters are upside down.

Get creative about how that might happen!

Upside Down

I look out the window seeing my wife.

The tears running down my bruised bloody cheek.

As I know that I have to protect myself with a knife.

Upside Down, Upside Down, Upside Down.


I have saved my kids from the pain I endured.

I walk downstairs towards door.

Staring at the banister knowing there will be one more.

Upside Down, Upside Down, Upside Down.


I was a battered man,

Protecting my home from the monster that lurks.

I wanna be as free as a song bird.

Upside Down, Upside Down, Upside Down.


The monster enters the door.

I slayed the beast my pain was no more.

Then I carried the beast straight to the banister.

Upside Down, Upside Down, Upside Down.


There my children hang, cold and lifeless.

They are finally safe from the beast they called mom.

I left the beast hang there too, my hunts all laying in a row.

They are all Upside Down, Upside Down, Upside Down.

A nice creepy take on the prompt, well written!

Your concept is interesting. Try to use punctuation as without it your poem loses power and meaning. Hope that helps. šŸ™‚
