WRITING OBSTACLE

Incorporate a famous quote that you like into a short story or poem, but change its context so it means something quite different.

The quote could be from history, a movie, a speech - but try to use it in a way that doesn't relate to its original meaning.

My Shot

I sit at a table The bartender behind Pouring me glasses The other messed up people here to He is kind Nice I guess I start to see double Whats happening Drunk I think Wow Another shot I need more I want more “I am not throwing away my shot” Right I mean who would Throw away the cure to pain To sadness The cure of life It can leave you sick sometimes But it is worth it The sensation of numbness Unaware Of life People What’s real what’s not
