Tires squeal.
Bright lights.
A loud crash.
Glass shatters.
How many stories begin this way?
Every sense, engaged.
-
Heavy breathing.
Runs upstairs.
Slams the door.
Footsteps follow.
The audience is drawn in by the suspense.
It is powerful - immense!
-
Shots fired.
Shells drop.
Sirens begin.
Fade to black.
There is an endless supply scenarios that I could mention.
Alas, I think I’ll end here. I hope that I’ve managed to catch your attention.

The Piggy Project
I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

I’ve come to you via Vocal+ Assist. And I’m so thankful. I’ve subscribed and hearted. And looking forward to reading your back cataligie . I’ve had a read! On the day you were hit with inspiration and with this piece I think you’ve definitely hit swing of things and Challenges are calling you! I come and go sadly because of my mental health ... But when I find my way back to Vocal+ Assist, I feel like I’m ‘home.’ A few favourite lines: ‘Every sense, engaged’ ‘The audience is drawn in by the suspense’ ‘It is powerful - immense!’ ‘Alas, I think I’ll end here. I hope that I’ve managed to catch your attention.’ Absolutely! And you have provided sensory tryptic! I loved your unique and engaging piece. Only if you feel inclined. Absolutely no pressure!
