A Prompt for Writers

A Thought In Musing

This is a writing prompt exercising the ability to focus a message from two paragraphs to six words. I strongly encourage all writers to attempt this at least once to open their own dialogues. Please enjoy

With a burning fire, the most intense of infernos shall consume the sky. Blackness will fall upon the ground and smother it in ash. The wonders of man will crumble and wither. When the last of the flames have burned, nothing will be left to show for man’s greatness. The beasts will die; slowly at first for the eaters of the earth will starve before the eaters of flesh. As they dwindle in number, the creatures will turn to man for help: man has no answer to give.

Of all the beings that exist within the world, none shall be safe from the apocalypse. The souls of men will wander aimlessly, for they shall have no place to belong. And when the fires die out, when the flames of man are gone, only darkness shall remain. In this darkness, nothing will be known, and so the world shall tremble. And so the world shall end.

The flames of death shall burn across the lands, all of existence shall be consumed. Beasts and man, nothing is safe from this inferno. Everything shall be reduced to ash, until the world is empty and dark. In the last moments of man, all souls will wander, and roam the land without hope to be found. For in the darkness, the world shall die.

The fire shall consume all of existence in a blazing inferno. None shall survive, save the souls of man to linger forever lost and hopeless. The dark shall devour the remnants of light as all the world falls silent.

From fire shall darkness kill hope.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
