Challenge
Write a poem or short story from the perspective of a piece of garbage.
Our modern world is overflowing with unwanted, superfluous things: single-use plastics, discarded toys, outdated electronics, old books, broken furniture etc... This refuse fills our streets, chokes our waterways and wreaks havoc in our environment, yet the culture we live in pushes us to always want new, shiny things often at the expense of the old. Write a short story or poem from the viewpoint of one of these pieces of trash. What was its life before being dumped? How does it feel now that it has been abandoned? Does it have any hope for the future?

Page 1, Scene 1: Setting and Mood
I thought I'd try something different with this challenge. This time I'm not giving you an exact subject or topic. This is more of an exercise in freestyle creative writing.
FIRST - Pick a setting, it can be any place... a bar, a concert, a graveyard, inside a car on a trip, some otherworldly place, etc.
SECOND - Decide on a mood for your setting... is there a party going on, a funeral taking place, a monster waiting in the dark, a desperate crew lost in space, etc.
Now, describe to me your setting and make me feel the mood in less than 250 words.
Tag me in the comments. Thanks,

It was quiet. The only sound was the discordant clicking of keys... no one looked up from their respective cubical. We all "knew" one another, yet no one cared to talk... unless necessary. A sense of familiarity borne out of routine... a half hearted second guessing. We showed up at the same time every day and the drudgery connected us... a drudgery that didn't deserve comment. To reach beyond this would be rude somehow, an impolite transgression that no one dared to traverse. The silence felt like reverence for the half-lives lived... parallel acceptance of what is... an apathetic peace.

How should you love someone? And what tells you impulsively and/or instinctively to give your love to that person/group of people? I will follow everyone who enters and gives their advice, if I haven't already, because we need to share the love and love each other, and I am also truly grateful for your advice.
I'm in a crisis right now!!! I'm at the stage of life, where I want to find that person that I love, but I don't know if that person is the right one. Help me with your advice prosers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No winners. Just advice.
