Pink just isn’t in October.
She will rise.
She will battle.
For her Pink is everyday.
She is a mighty warrior in Pink.

Sealed

Twitter Prompts Story

The man I was forced to marry was toxic.
Of this when the fallen found no dissent.
I held high the knife.
The silver glint caught the fire.
I took a breath.
I could not live this life.
The knife came down.
Two days later I stood at a grave.
He was dead.
I knew that one day the cost would be my soul.
Now my body rots in the cemetery.
I stood in front of the Seraphims for judgment.
I snorted at them.
Lucifer looked at me; he smirked “I adore a challenge, HELL.”
He gave his vote on my eternity and sealed my fate.

Breaking the Mold

Ableism

Twitter BraveWrite Prompt

What does it say about the world’s ableism, when a person chooses to hide their illness?
They hide it to appear normal.
Lie about feeling well, when they are being pumped full of poison to combat a deadly disease.
Those who can’t hide their disability, shunned & to be avoided.
We need to fight ableism before it is to late.
For if we don’t, we may miss out on the world’s greatest beings.

The Harvest

Twitter Prompt BraveWrite and GrimList2020

We prepared for the Harvest.
If it was not successful our villiage would not survive.
We worked the land.
Tributes chosen.
Tears running down.
1 tribute my own blood.
The sacrifice for the greater good.
It was the price of being a slave to the occult.

Change

BraveWrite Twitter Prompt

I knew the risk of libel & slander.
Moving from the shadows into public eye.
Lies spread far & wide.
I would not back down.
I would not be driven away.
The world needed change.
Ignoring the past.
I spoke my voice.
Aftet all, the world can’t change if we stay silent.
