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.
