STORY STARTER

Submitted by Atlas

She didn't look up from the cracks in the sidewalk, nor did she turn down her street to go home. Instead, she just kept walking.

Write a story about a character attempting to vanish.

Butterfly

I need to leave, to escape from this world.

From these _feelings. _But how? I try walking. I hear the sound of my feet hitting the ground, with a thud. Hoping, maybe one day, I’ll grow wings. Like the butterflies playing in the flowers, just flapping around looking like their without a care in the world. Oh, what it would be like, to fly away from all life’s problems. To vanish. But I can’t. No matter how much I wish. Even butterflies can’t out-fly their problems. Eventually, one day, they have to face them. But they’ll get through it. They always do. Even if they wish to vanish sometimes, as I do right now. I keep walking. And I watch the butterflies. The flowers. I feel the wind taking me away, as it takes the butterflies away too. No matter how much I want to vanish without a trace, I can’t. I have my family. And even though I want to disappear, I don’t want to leave them. They’re my everything. I love them. So I’ll be strong, I’ll face my problems, and won’t disappear. Because they’ll be there with me, I won’t be alone. I’ll never be alone. Even when it gets hard. We’ll stay together. Like butterflies.







The end.
