STORY STARTER

Write a story about a character who has a melody stuck in their head constantly.

Is this just the result of a catchy tune, is there something deeper going on, or is it a sign of something they don't understand yet?

Young, Dumb, Broke High School Kids

Swinging Up And Down The playground Is My Home. ‘So you’re still thinking of me, just like I know you should…’ I wonder if She’s Thinking Of me The air rushing Into my Face ‘I cannot give you everything, you know I wish I could.’ I imagine her eyes I want to give her Everything, She deserves it all. The swing comes up ‘I’m so high at the moment,’ Then down ‘I’m so caught up in this…” The way she smiles She’s perfect Wait no, she’s not actually, lemme explain You’re not gonna believe this, But the more flaws she has, The more perfect she is. The more special she is. ‘Yeah we’re just young,’ I remember meeting her At preschool ‘Dumb’ I remember laughing with her Singing so loud we could barely breathe In the car ‘And broke,’ I remember shopping with her At this candy store We wasted a ton of money For some chocolates. It was worth it. ‘But we still got love to give,’ I remember hugging her tightly I’m never going to let go again. I promised it that day. ‘While we’re young, dumb, young, young, dumb, and broke. Young dumb, young, young, dumb, and broke…’ The words fade away as I walk home, But one lyric Sticks out ‘Young, dumb, broke high school kids.’ That’s us.
