The Sunday Whirl presents twelve words for us to use in a creative writing piece.
This weeks words are:
lock, fades, echo, out, voices, burn, show, friends, time, power, hear, second
Echoes of Past Glory
The windows are cracked, dusty.
"Here's looking at you, kid."
Cobwebs have long taken over.
"After all, tomorrow is another day."
The chains on the doors rusty—
"Elementary, my dear Watson”
The locks and hinges too.
"There's no place like home."
Inside is musty, dusty and old.
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
The red velvet curtain faded, tattered.
"All the world's a stage."
Posters from the shows
Of the glory days, faded, curled.
"You can't handle the truth!"
Voices from past shows echo
Through the circle and stalls,
"Houston, we have a problem."
Memories from a time long past.
"That’s not a knife… That’s a knife."
But there is no-one there to hear them.
"I see dead people."
Will the powers grant a second life?
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
Will friends come out in support?
"To be, or not to be, that is the question."
Does a candle still burn brightly
For this dead relic of the past?
"I'll be back."
