Happy Birthday InMon

The deadly paper is a society created plague.

Desire to know all, blinded to truth, results in consequence.

Trees shedding their life now fighting back.

Poisoned ink dealing its swift blows.

Deafening headlines bursting eardrums as unspoken words imprint the mind.

The last place you look leaving twisted memories.

They took it away or so they said but its torment still raged.

The city that never wakes now became commonplace.

One of the first weekly flash fiction challenges I stumbled across when I started blogging was BeKindReWrite’s Inspiration Mondays. I have not been doing very many challenges lately as my focus has mainly been on writing my newest novel but when I saw it was the one year birthday, I just had to join in.

The prompts this time around were:

Deadly paper

The city that never wakes

Deafening

Last place you look

They took it away

When I looked at the prompts they all sort of looked as though they were already forming their own sinister story. So I played with them a little and what I wrote above was the result.
