Prompt
Write a story or poem that begins in 2019 and ends in 2020
Consider that it does not need to involve the transition of 2019 into 2020, but it can be set at any time in those two years
2019.
2019, you weren’t kind to me.
For every
Every good thing
It felt like you
Gave me
Two bad things
In return.
Why is it
That you
Tease me with life and
Art and rhythm and then
Suck the joy
Out of my life
Like a mosquito?
Why is it that you
Reward
Other people
For my misery?
I am in a fishbowl,
Russian roulette
With the odds stacked against me.
So I’m glad
To be leaving you behind;
A stepping stone
In my quest to
Be a better person.
I’m ready to
Step into the
Embrace
Of 2020 and
Into my fresh start.
