STORY STARTER

Write a story about a world in which you have to be granted permission to feel an emotion. What happens when your main character disobeys this rule?

Til Death Do I Part

Don’t move.


Hold your breath.


Wait for permission.

“Please,” I beg, pushing my palms to my chest as if to hold myself together.


But the more I try, the more I fall apart, the more I erode into nothing.
