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?

As ONE

Frustration

Indignation

Infatuation

Love.

These words are now forbidden.


Depression

Obsession

Over-expression

Faith.

These mind sets are now banned.


Anxiety

Piety

Spontaneity

Hope.

These inner states are now suppressed.


Next generation

Will only action

Through reason

Or in prison

They will be put.


Robotic minds

In humankinds

Will seek permission

If there’s suspicion

Of human feel’.


Remember her, the girl that used to write

Sweet poems about love and light?

The flame inside burned her to core,

Now she’s not writing anymore.

So, in her memory, we made The Laws

So rational and without flaws

Rules against feelings for the humankind

To live in peace as ONE robotic mind.


A zombie world, equal, abstract and blind.

Congratulations! We’re all dead inside!
