1) The yellow flowers cascaded across the garden clogging all the flower beds and encroaching onto the path. 2) The furry buildings where a new thing to her, they had not existed in the city when she had been a student but now they green growths were everywhere. 3) The little bird had a yellow […]

Darkly Awake

Thursday, February 20th, 2014

The moment that shattered me was violent and sudden and ripped half of me away, melting the stubs of bones that jutted from blackened flesh. It was an oblivion.

1) The hand was just an accident of nature, just a nothing, a blip on existence. It wasn’t a hand at all, just some malformed bit of tree but that didn’t stop it’s effect… 2) I’ve always loved the moon, it shines sometimes just for me, with extra sliver moon dust glittering down onto the […]

Monday, February 3rd, 2014

I was horrified at just what a state my pelt was in, being with the other group we hadn’t thought much on physical presentation. The mental images we had of each other was that of when we first met, back when I was putting the teams of volunteers together. Now with new people about I […]

Fellow writers, artists etc… feel free to use these story starters to get some ideas rolling 🙂 1) The urn was made to celebrate him, he had watched them make it and bake it and glaze it and he loved it but the world was crumbling around him. 2) There was no longer a clear […]
