STORY STARTER
Inspired by Alex Jay
Scandalous!
Write a gossip-centred piece about a scandal, from the perspective of a bystander telling a friend.
What kind of language is associate with gossip and rumours?
I heard
“i heard
she
stopped talking
to him”
“no
but
wait”
“i heard
he
cheated
on her”
“but wait
i heard him
say”
“she cheated
on
him?”
“but
i
thought
they were
still together”
lies become
truth
without a
second thought
the words they
spit
from serpent mouths
snake on
their tongues
i wish there
was a
frog instead
because that’s
not what
happened
they fought
and couldn’t agree
the thought
it was best
to part ways
so don’t
believe
what you
hear
because
snakes and
serpents
alike
like to lie
