STORY STARTER
Submitted by Chantel Akrawi
Write a story during the time of the Salem Witch Trials from the viewpoint of someone who’s been accused of sorcery. But, they’re no witch or warlock; they’re something else altogether…
Compassion Became Witchcraft
Humans destroy what they don’t understand
Small brains get frustrated so their fear expands
That’s why I feel for spiders and rats
Because they wouldn’t be killed
if they were nice furry cats
I’m a witch
I must be
Because who in their right mind cares for scales and teeth
For creatures beneath
for beasts unleashed
Or for those with eight feet
If I must be burned because compassion became witchcraft
Then get it out of the way
get me out of your path
