James & Oneg's Summer Writing Challenge Extravaganza - Challenge #2 - Tag, You're It!
I was tagged by Babs Iverson for the second challenge of James & Oneg’s Summer Writing Challenge Extravaganza: "Tag, You're it!" Look for the link to James & Oneg’s post at the bottom of this one.
The Tag You’re It! Challenge: pick a Vocal community and tag/nominate another writer to write a poem or 100-word micro fic about it BUT you only have 15 minutes to write!
I was given the task of writing a micro short or poem in the Fiction community. I chose a micro short.
Apologies in advance for the dark subject matter. Here goes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every crime scene is different, but this one is savage. Gruesome, really. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. What a waste! Innards destroyed. Body parts slung everywhere. Except the arms, there’s no arms anymore! Only an animal could do something like this. The main suspect is already in custody. He didn’t even have the decency to try to flee the scene. He sits there, eyes averted, chewing his nails. It’s incomprehensible to think that he slept with his victim every night. Those days are over. A threaded needle and thread can’t fix it this time.
The witnesses:
The victim:

The North Star
Many moons ago well before the consequence of time existed, a young angel was facing a crisis like no other. The young angel Polly had come of age and would soon be inducted into the Guardians of the Heavens. Once she was a guardian angel, she would be assigned to one human being on earth, to watch out for and be that person’s protector.

Aurora
Stars glittered across the moonless sky. Millions of brilliant points of light, more than Yusuke had had ever seen before. He marvelled at them, despite often having gazed at the night sky before, mesmerized by them. It had always been a dream, one that he had come to share with its original dreamer, to be in that place and see the stars in their seemingly infinite multitude.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
