STORY STARTER
Submitted by King Dee
Write a story about your biggest fear as a child
This story could be set in your childhood, or it could revolve around the fear in another setting.
death
here is yet another midnight poem because i like torturing myself, plus i wanna make sure my streak is always higher than JATG’s ehehehe (words before disaster)
———
death.
the anticipated eternal sleep.
it’s normal to be afraid of such things,
but why must our legacy fade?
even the best things we’ve done
will fade,
and we will all find ourselves
dead, not able to do a thing about it.
this is why i hope a heaven is above,
where i can continue to live,
and write,
and be at peace.
however,
there is a possibility
that is not true,
and we will all
sleep forever
in our graves
as the impacts we made
are forgotten.
the fear of losing my friends,
my family,
not being able to write,
never waking up,
it can all be described as death.
if there is no heaven above,
if i’ve been too bad in my lifetime,
i will never forgive myself.
