Challenge
Challenge of the Month XL
Above the body after death: Something all of us have heard or read about, or seen in documentaries or on film. Across human history, there has been one outlier that purely represents any given emotionally tied flashback that someone would have seen before dying: Good, bad, heartbreak, excitement, betrayal, or love that was not able to see itself through, and many more. Write a story or poem about this, the extreme outliers, both what they're flashing back to, and why they're about to die. Winning piece of ethereal lift and float gets the $100. Go.
golden gate wishes
crazily enough, the water is blue
i stand there breathe in and out
one, two
three
here i go
i've had enough-
but I see my mama
running up to me with a hug
with a smile
my best friends with me
screaming along to Taylor Swift in the car
but now that feels so far
my little sibling giggling
when i tickle their little feet
all the boy that i decided
that i'd never meet
i see my grandma dying
i wish i'd said goodbye
when i pretend to be asleep
but still peep through my eyes
crying in the shower
but he'd come give me a kiss
tell me it's okay
and that'd i'd be missed
but i guess selfishness got the best of me
but if could go back
i'd tell myslef to smile more
and to love mys- SPLAT!
