STORY STARTER
Submitted by The January Scribe

Write a story which could have this as the title.
Probably Not
Will she ever dance again?
Her warm blue eyes, a mixture of
innocent misfortunes
are staring at the ceiling,
her prayers - hitting a deaf wall.
She never trusted angels, anyway.
Her trembling thoughts give voice
to only screaming - it’s fine,
she tells herself, the crying is inside.
Bodies forgotten somewhere,
in the war zone, between
reality and lies, are howling asking:
Will she ever dance again?
WILL SHE EVER DANCE AGAIN?
For there are no musicians left
to play the music,
and children sing
the gun machine’s old cry-
-same grotesque chorus asking
the same question:
Will she? Will she? Probably not.
