STORY STARTER
Submitted by Caralia
Write a story about someone who is famous, but their fame resulted from a tragic event.
The story could be about a day in their famous life, or could centre on how they feel about the tragic event that led to it.
All I’ve Ever Known
Fame is such a funny word—
Used so sporadically
That even the most reclusive souls
Turn round to look at me.
It’s not something I brag about
It’s not something I want
The death of all I’ve ever known
Comes back to sit and taunt.
I sit on this uncomfy throne
With orders in my hand
But remnants of the fight and battle
Still lay upon the land
He fought for all we love
Tried to divide and conquer
With quiet now, the only sound
On the chair rests his daughter.
