STORY STARTER

Submitted by Robin Marlowe

Write a story in which the protagonist starts to see cracks in their reality. Force the reader to ask: are they uncovering an illusion, or falling for a delusion?

If our senses can be fooled, then how do we know that our world is real?

Where’d It Go?

Where’d it go?

All my happiness,

the laughter,

all the times we’d set up plans just for our parents to say no.

It hurts to think back to when we were little and already saying we’re going to get married.

Now you just take away my happiness, my laughter and my freedom.

And your plans of hurting my feelings

They worked.

I hope you’re happy hurting other people like you hurt me.

But just think before you hurt someone.

Some people don’t heal.
