Challenge of Inspiration 4
Use the phrases below in a unique story or poem which begs a rejoinder of some kind from other Prosers. Responses need not be entered directly into the challenge--feel free to compose your response as a regular post, then put a link to it in the comments of the original piece so we can all find it. One winning original entry and one winning response entry will be blessed with a life-changing $10 prize! I know... it boggles the mind just to think on it. ______________Here are your challenge phrases: _______________ Fallen heroes, tempting fate, til it burns, in the eyes of strangers, like foreplay, for all the stars, torn apart, begging for mercy, Stairs of Valhalla, without a fight ____________ For clarity, when I say, "Bon chance, mes amis," that is NOT one of the phrases. **ahem** Bon chance, mes amis!
Bon chance, me amis
I sit alone
Pondering what I’ve done
Whether she’s in heaven now
Or the Stairs of Vahalla
I fucked up
I can't get the image of my reflection
In the eyes of a stranger, crying
Out of my head
Hands shaking
Going back
She was so pretty
Even torn apart
Like foreplay, when she’s begging for mercy
Now its over
And all the stars are telling me
To run
But i’ll stay and not go down
Without a fight
And she is mine
And she’ll stay here
