Reena’s Xploration Challenge #426

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Welcome back to changing seasons! Summer has hit us earlier than expected, and it is sultry, not a song. I like to think it has something to do with the heat generated on the world stage.

But how does that matter?

PROMPT #426

Here is a quote from Ayn Rand’s lesser-known novel- We the Living.

“It’s a curse, you know, to be able to look higher than you’re allowed to reach.”

I guess this can bring out a memoir, a story, a poem, a tragicomic interlude, a forgotten conversation and much more.

Let it all flow out. Change names and characters if you so desire.

There is no restriction on the length of the piece. There is no last date unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

We will not include any posts that are found to be offensive, vulgar, or that hurt ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.
