Not What It Seems...
In a short, not more than 50 words, start with something that seems beautiful but surprises us, or perhaps begin with something that seems sinister and turns out to be quite lovely. However you'd like to go. See my example if you need a hint, but feel free to take the prompt as you wish! God bless and much success! PLEASE tag me @LexiCon in the comments after you've finished your piece). It's been a while since I've hosted a challenge (and really interacted much with the site in general) I pray you've all been well! Much love.
Mental Hospital Postpartum Depression
Barely triaged, admitted
rocking, paranoid, crying silently
my hair, straw, wool
spicules battering me
hair ties, clips, shoe strings
prohibited
A staring shadow walked by
for the nurse’s station
fuck, he’s coming back
so tired of men’s shit
Put your away your hand…
touched
a little rubber band
