Challenge
Before and after.
I've noticed on Prose, many writers have a talent for cramming a big story into a short story. We know that something has happened before. We know that something will happen after this event. That's my challenge. Write a scene so we can wonder what happened before and what is coming next.

Purposely Caged on Accident
As I lie awake knowing that the sun is dry.
That my hands were tied.
That the soft air found inside
The vaulted bars of lungs in you.
The misty panting of H2O and CO2
Was enough to flatter me again once more.
For a chained wrist encore.
But how will we break fast from losing,
Unwind our choosing,
and make sense of all the lies we twine.
