STORY STARTER
Submitted by an anonymous user
Write a short story based in an idealistic suburban neighbourhood.
Try and put a spin on the usual suburban trope.
Suburban Utopia
Trimmed bushes.
Perfectly manicured lawns.
Clean painted siding.
Suburban utopia.
A place I call my home.
My home: it is my home.
What is a home?
A pretty little house?
A family unit?
Friends and nice neighbors?
Perhaps.
Perhaps it can be.
But not mine.
My home is where I learned to fly.
It’s the place I flew from—
A nest left behind.
This suburban utopia
Was a cage whose bars I broke.
