STORY STARTER
Inspired by Kail Cleo
Create a story by writing multiple diary entries from your character (or multiple characters intertwined).
Try to make each entry build from the last to add to the storyline. If you switch perspective, make it clear that it's someone else's journal.
There And Gone
Day One
And there he was…smiles abound. The face of perfection. My life mate. Ilyana and Trevor tugged on the hem of my shirt asking to go see daddy. They were so excited to see him at work. His eyes met mine and in that moment it all went away…
Day Two
I can’t get it out of my head. Ilyana screaming and Trevor clutching my leg ever so tightly. My love…my heart’s desire…his body crumpled to the ground. So much blood. There was so much blood. I stood frozen as if time ceased. My body refused to move. And then she ran.
Day Three
He’s hanging on by a thread. I speak with him day and night. I cry for him. My heart yearns for him. The children are safe at home with my mom. They are too young to understand. Ilyana cries day and night absorbed in the memory of blood. Trevor stopped speaking…everything we try is for naught.
Day Four
Oh my heart. Where’ve you gone? You’ve left me and the children behind. I can’t bear the pain. It’s too quiet and lonely without you. We need you so much. You fought so hard though until the very end. I’m so sorry my love…I’m so sorry.
