The Winds of Change
Write about a dramatic change, for example a city slicker taking up a volunteer caretaker job of a remote property, or a corporate worker becoming due to circumstances a stripper. The dynamics that accompany change, the dangers of it, the blessings of it, the twists and turns...... Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or free verse, just create a cliffhanger of a story!

Red Room

After the court case was settled, she had nothing left. The man that supposedly loved her took everything that they once shared. Her house. Her money. Her child. Everything was gone. She plummetted down 10 flights of stairs.

She never had a job, he made all the money for the house. It was a big house that they lived in. And she had a Happy life. She hung out with her friends all the time. Her main commitment was getting her child back and forth from sports practice, music lessons, and school. But now she has nothing. Everything that she once held dear is gone.

Now she lives in a box in the alley behind and apartment building that houses all of her illegal customers.

She never pictured herself wishing she could afford her own red room.

Winter

I’ll change,

Change, change

As fast as I can.

Because life keeps

Catching me.

No matter

Where I am.

No matter the

Moment I’m in

I’m blind to the

Moment I’m

Living in.

Unaware of all

That’s happening.

Wishing I could

Slow it all down

But knowing

Change comes,

I can’t help

The regardless.

So I try to

Beat the change

Before I realize

I have. Because

Deep down

I know this

Moment will be

The ever so

Changing past.
