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.

Pride Collection 39:Marriage

Two go in

One comes out

Is that not how it works


In love

In marriage

In forever


Couples of all shapes and sizes

People of all backgrounds

Humans one in all


They walk into a chapel

a courthouse a church

Or their grandmothers yard


Their love is pronounced

You may kiss now

Two go in one comes out


Brides

And grooms

So many options


A man and a woman

a woman and a man


Two men

Two women

Anything in between


But no matter what

2 go in

1 comes out
