This blog is for me that others may read. I spend at least an hour on each prompt then go back and edit it then post it. If I come back to it I come back to it but if I don't then oh well. I have so many stories in my head and get depressed if I don't write something so this is more therapy for me. Enjoy!
Writing Prompt:
How does a memory sound?
A memory sounds like an echo. The most obvious description because that's all you can say. A memory is the echo of old songs from vinyl records to music boxes of lullabies with words you almost forgot. It's a song that's stuck on repeat. It's the sting of a thorn wants stuck in your side but you still feel it from time to time. It's the sound of glass breaking. It's the sound of angry shouts. It's the sound of laughter. It's the sound of cheers. It's a sound that once rung loud now subdued wandering the darkness of yesteryear until you recall it to light. Some things gray. Others fade in color. The strongest memories produce the strongest echoes. The good ones and the bad. Mostly the bad. The memory of pain and love are hardest to to shove into the background. The echo of fear, echo of joy both resound as if it only happened yesterday. It's a chemical reaction when you hear these enduring echoes. Some echoes die away but love and pain are sounds that reverberate until you draw your final breath. You may forget the sound of wind, the call of your name, or even the sound of water in the shower when it hits the tiles but love and pain are constants. They never diminish or fade with time. I'll be old and gray like everyone else but I will remember the echo of love and pain.
