The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.

In just under the wire I hope: https://vocal.media/poets/expiration-date-2033
Written for Abecedarian, was about to chuck it, but revived it and entered it in both. Like Raymond I just entered and not worry about it, just participating cause it's RP. https://vocal.media/poets/dystopian-nightmares.
I am just seeing this. I wonder if i can pop one in before tomorrow. Sounds vunderful. Lets see if i can cheat off of some here. Hahahahahah. I love this kind of writing.
I like to join in and didn't worry to much about the poetic form. Kinda makes sense to me but please feel free to give honest feedback> Grateful to Lamar for the inspiration and thanks too Real Poetic for the challange and the prize sponsorship https://vocal.media/poets/last-year-this-year
Meant to finish this one earlier. I looked at your deadline last night and jumped right on it, lol. https://vocal.media/poets/the-trojans-are-coming
Oh...I am going to enter something into this for sure. If I get time and inspiration...but it's a great prompt...so I suspect that'll come easy!
I'm new here, but thought I'd have a go at this to break the ice. Here is my entry: https://vocal.media/poets/riding-in-cars
I’d missed this one! I like this idea R.P. 😁 I really hope you have a better year!!
Take two with posting my attempt at this interesting challenge... My link posted 22 minutes ago disappeared! https://vocal.media/poets/tomorrow-tomorrow-will-we-love-you-tomorrow I'm now 'safe' to enjoy other previous entries without fear of being 'brainwashed ' by them!

Great challenge idea and I’m READY
Sounds like fun. I'll have to mull it over. Might take around 10 years. I hope that's alright.
Hmmmmm. Allow me to ponder.
