This week’s writing prompt is:
TRAIN STATION
What’s happening at the train station? Are annoying, crackly announcements being made over the tannoy? Are passengers hurrying along the platform, their shoes clacking? Is it a land train or the underground? Describe the smells – from a coffee shop perhaps or the feel of the hot air underground. Maybe there’s an escalator. What does the handrail feel like? Bring the scene to life as fully as you can.
Last week, your prompt was:
ESCAPE
As I’ve mentioned, you don’t have to share your work, but I’d love to see what you come up with if the prompt gives you an idea. Here are a couple of poignant pieces on last week’s prompt:
Can I ever escape the madness?
The thoughts of overwhelming sadness?
Of being without your presence,
Now that you’ve left the premises?
I can with the Holy spirit.
Who heals my grief and and discomfort.
As time goes by, the thoughts seem to lessen.
With Your support, my life is a blessing.
Escape, she thought of it for a long time. Leaving work, leaving home, finding a new place, new people. But would she be safe? Times were tough, work was hard. Little education, poor food, poverty.
She left and joined the Suffragette movement.
