Vicarious Voyeur
Do you often envision your life through another set of eyes? We've all caught ourselves watching someone from a distance, even admiring them, but how far would you take it? This is your chance to become a peeping tom, a stalker from afar, a follower lurking in the shadows, or a secret admirer who envies someone’s life so much, that you’d do unpredictable things to keep watching. Perhaps you’ll write it in a journal, or a letter, or just share your observations with us of what about them that gets you up in the morning.
I’m interested in seeing your inner creepy come out and will reward the more disturbed higher, but keep it fictional and safe. All styles are welcome. The winner is decided by me. Remember to tag me, @ChrisSadhill, in the comments and I will read and comment on every piece. Happy writing.
(whatever margaret atwood said)
we are all our own voyeurs
little women sitting in our own heads
next to a man who holds us captive
and shoves us in front of the mirror
look at your face, he says,
your chapped lips, acne, asymmetrical nose
everything you hate most
on display for your number one stalker
smash the glass, try to escape, look back
and watch your reflection shatter
