STORY STARTER
Write a story about how something that appears to be harmless is used to cause suffering.

fire.
It's beautiful. With innocence and grace, it dances over the screen of my laptop or over the pages of my book. I want to reach out, to touch the magic that lures me in and takes me on a journey through my mind, soul, and obviously my heart. I do reach out, to flesh bone with words that can't be unsaid.
It burns. Fire meets skin and sets it aflame, shining with the colours of a summer sunset. Your words are red and not the pink I expected.
This is not a love story.
It’s a story about a ghost that lives in my chest. It haunts me, day and night. It lives where you used to be, never letting me breathe without a reminder of the pain.
Everything smells like you, like your favourite perfume. I suffer for what? Just to see you walk by without a second thought?
This is not what the movies promised me. My heart has become a graveyard and I sit here, mourning the living and mourning a future that will never be.
