In the absence of the daily prompts (moment of silence …) I just used a random word generator to come with a one word prompt to do my free write with. If you want to write on it also and leave a pingback/link feel free. If you want to generate your own word click here
Prompt: Nursery
Music: The Vietnam War Original Score (by Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross)
The old wood door rattles with protest as I pull it shut. My cheeks are raw from tears. My eyes are sore, if that’s even possible.
The men outside stare, various shades of ghostly pale cheeks and split lips seem to reach for words but find none.
We trek down the stairs with their peeling carpet and 70’s themed wallpaper. The air downstairs seems physically lighter, a beam of light that should pierce the top floor but can’t seem to penetrate it instead floods the entrance way.
Outside the perfect American family on their perfect Bermuda grass huddles together in tears.
The men say nothing but at least they’re breathing now. The air by the nursery was so thick, so full of that mystical otherworldly heaviness that none could settle it into their lungs.
“What do we do?” Only one man asks, the others step back, letting him take the lead.
That poor family.
I grasp the cross at my neck.
“Let them come in. Tell them to relax. Tell them we’ll be back in an hours time then lock the doors on your way out and burn it all.”
