Writing Prompt: May 17 - "We all look the same in the dark."
In the light, we're sharply defined.
Unique.
Each showcasing our own talents and abilities.
In the light, she's an elementary teacher
In the light, he's been changing your oil for the last 5 years
In the light, they're the checkout cashier at your grocery store
In the light, they're your boss, your coworker, your husband, your niece.
In the light... we all have the chance to showcase what makes us different. What we've worked on in ourselves to better ourselves for the world.
When that light fades, and the darkness rises we lose our uniqueness and default to the basest human faults.
In the dark, she's a cheater.
In the dark, he's a liar.
In the dark, they're a thief
In the dark, they're manipulative, jealous, self-absorbed, addicted.
In the dark... we all look the same in the dark.
