STORY STARTER
Submitted by Evelyn Allen Vale
"Two go in, and one comes out" is the start to a dark nursery rhyme that everyone in the town knows.
Write a story which features this rhyme and its tale.
Thrusted Fault
Two go in,
One comes out.
Her dress is torn,
Se tried to shout.
The clock hands ticked,
Ticked away.
Her life blew up
In a single day.
Two go in,
One comes out.
She cried and cried
Cause he lost his life.
But at his funeral,
She didn’t show her face.
Cause everyone in town
Calls her a disgrace.
Two go in,
One comes out.
Her dress was bloodied
So they chased her out of town.
Her name was mud,
Worthless and shamed.
It wasn’t her fault,
But that’s not what they say.
To go in,
And one comes out.
Darling girl.
Don’t ruin yourself.
