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.
God?
This path I trod
God! God?
I'm nothing
My knees are dirty lord
What must I do?
Sodom and Gomorrah flow from my eyes
I dare not look, but feel demise.
Where for art thou, too cliche?
Mayday! Mayday!
How loud must I silently scream?
I need you to show me what u MEAN!
So confused, abused and incomprehensive
Just living to live
Can you not feel the brokenness?
It's to big !
Why can't I lie in the grave I dig?
What must I learn from the suffering you give?
God! God?
