STORY STARTER

Submitted by Quill To Page

Write a short story or poem that starts with a letter.

It can be a death threat or a love letter, a mission or a murder. It could be any letter, but make it integral to the story.

love, life

Dear simple things in life,


Life does not revolve around you, but you make life to live for, to cherish, to ignore. The simplicity of the term simple, expands beyond the dimensions of complexity and comprehension….



The dawn of leaves,

the petals in bloom

leading to rot,

the current of wind

binding nature to its current..

the momentary glimpses.

a change in the air

before its gone.


“Beautiful,” Arepo said

eyes dazzled to such simple things

light burning with hope

despite the inability for such fire

to continue his life


blood staining stones,

seeping into the earth

signaling the new passage of life

and death


“All of them. They were so beautiful.”


as the fields burned,

smoke blotted the earth

men trodded in the press and bloody

war raged on the earth


Arepo, the sower of dreams,

lay down in his humble temple,

head sheltered by the stones,

and returned to his god of Simplties
