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
