WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a piece that starts with a zeugma.

A zeugma is a sentence where one verb is used to modify two nouns, such as “he held her hand and his tongue.”

Rabbit Hole

I grip my throat and my sanity.

I must be losing my mind. Why did I fall for the eyes—the rabbit holes—belonging to my love? Why did I see feeble prey in places where I should have seen vicious predators? Unforgiving monsters?

Now I lay on the tile, fighting for life.

The rabbit hole consumes me.

I really like your wording in this piece! It makes the pace of the story so intense. Also, your zeugma was very very good for todays prompt, so good job!! The only thing I would recommend is to explain to the reader what is happening. As a reader, I really wanted to know what the rabbit hole was (maybe like a place? an infatuation? a mistake?). Having that in your piece can really tie up loose ends. Anyways, this was an amazing piece <3
