(Yet another) Challenge of Inspiration 5
I came to a realization, after the 4th, that the first challenge of inspiration is inherently up to me. Apparently, 4's phrases weren't terribly inspiring, so that's on me. Hopefully this one will go better. Use the phrases below in a unique story or poem which begs a rejoinder of some kind from other Prosers. Responses need not be entered directly into the challenge--feel free to compose your response as a regular post, then put a link to it in the comments of the original piece so we can all find it. One winning original entry and one winning response entry will be blessed with a life-changing $5 prize! That's a whole pizza at Little Caesar's! (Or half a salad... somewhere... where people eat salads.) ______________Here are your challenge phrases: _______________ at your doorstep, Hate's last breath, carry on, alternate truth, the undertaker's dream, backward curiosity, nearing the End of Days, unnatural motives, I think of scales, forever in a ____________ Have fun! And no, "have fun" is not one of the phrases. Ugh... I know at least two of you are going to title your entry Have Fun just to mess with me. You know what? I don't care if you have fun or not--just do the damn challenge!

Forever in a Memory

The end at your doorstep

staring you down

she still laid on her bed, sick but alive

barely alive

I watched Hate's last breath

she closed her eyes,

accepting her fate as tears ran down her cheek

though she left the earth

her spirit will carry on through you

An alternate truth

she still laughed through your mind

that was an undertaker's dream

as you laid on the now empty bed with backward curiosity

wishing you were nearing the End of Days

It was an unnatural motive

the frail woman was kind

she was sweet and smelled of peppermint

to end her hopefully left a black stain on their soul

I think of scales when I imagine her death

forever in a memory she lives
