This Wasn't What I Wanted...
Many times, readers and writers imagine visiting worlds they have heard of or created. Write about you or your character receiving the power to visit fictional worlds. There is just one catch. No matter how awesome the power seems, there would have to be a horrible drawback. Whether that drawback is being caught up in the dangers of wars, having each jump to a new world cause sickness, or something else entirely, there must be a drawback. Try to keep it PG or PG13. Tag me on your entry.

What be the King, if not for his Queen

I wouldn’t pick a rotten apple,

With expectations it’d be ripe,

Yet today I will,

My hands are tied,

Obligated to act unwise,

It’s with upset,

I wait with patience,

Hoping I don’t weigh in with malice,

In the past I tipped the scales,

So my thoughts would come off balanced,

For now I pace the castle walls,

Awaiting entry to her palace,

I fear all this will prove to be…

A waste of my best talents.
