“I Remember…”

Author’s Note: This is a Take Ten to Write story and has not been proofread for errors. If I feel inspired or if there’s interest in the story, I’ll post a revised, edited, and extended version at a later date. Happy reading!

Prompt: Write a story titled “I Remember…”.

I remember…
When the grass was green,
When the sky was blue,
When life was good.

I remember…
When neighbours shouted greetings,
When children joked and played,
When love and friendship thrived.

I remember…
When the fires started,
When the food ran out,
When chaos reigned.

I remember…
When knives flashed,
When blood ran,
When humanity crumbled.

I remember…

Final Comments: I think my word choice could’ve been stronger to make a greater impression.
