It is unbelievable that there are over 1000 prompts out there. MOREEEEE. @MarianneWest has been dropping the prompts and has given so many the confidence to write. Planted an idea with the prompts and just allowed the creative juices to flow. No judgement. Always my go-to when I get stuck.
So the prompt dropped was 10 Years of Darkness and here's my Freewrite turned read. Hope you like it. Would love know where you think she is...
All I have is thoughts—nothing else. I am owning my should haves and could haves. Who would have thought thoughts would be so tangible. But when that's all you have, only thoughts, nothing else.
I can't blink, I have no eyes to blink. All those times, I did blink and looked away. Somehow, not seeing made it non-existent. Made it not mine. It was hers, his to hold.
If only I had listened to the heart's whisperings. Paid attention to the soul's yearning. But nought, I shut them out. And now I can't even though I have no ears. Just thoughts. Only thoughts.
When you see nothing, hear nothing. There's only silence with darkness. The silence so loud, it is deafening. There's no light—just darkness. So dark, it is blinding. Conscience banging, banging, banging, just lying looking at nothing, nothing, nothing.
How long have I been here? I don't know. It all becomes one, and one becomes all. All is all - all of us. I hear the rest. I hear their thoughts. But it is my thoughts. But there is no my - there is no me. There is just-us
Is this purgatory? I hear the questions. Is this hell? More questions. That's all!! Questions, answers - Nothing else. No pain, no fires of hell. Just the numbness eating you up. A bottomless pit of emptiness. Of knowing. Of not knowing. of knowing
I know now. I know! My time here is to reflect. Reflect and dissect. Over and over again. Until? Until? Until when? How long? 10 weeks? 10 months? 10 Years? 10 years of darkness is too long. 10 days of darkness is too long. It doesn't matter. It is all the same. It just stretches and stretches into forever. Time doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the thoughts. Thoughts. Thoughts.
So, where do you think she is? Where is this dark place? If you would like to see what the Freewriters came up, then head on over HERE.
Once again, just a very loud shout out and big hug @MarianneWest. Thank you so much for doing this every single day, for like forever. You are the best!!!
Till next time, Carpe Diem❣️
