Weekly Writing Prompt

Time for the weekly writing prompt! Enjoy! 😉

My breath came fast, catching in my throat as I bolted upright in bed. A bead of sweat slowly ran down the side of my face, which was flushed. Something was wrong. I reached for my light, flicking it on. What’s going on? I climbed out of bed, hugging myself as I flung back the curtain covering my bedroom window. The city lights blinked back at me, as they always had. But they hadn’t triggered a memory before.

Smoke fills my nostrils, making me choke as I run down an alleyway. My eyes water, and voices scream at me to stop as my chest constricts. “Wait! Please don’t leave me here!” I ignore the regret and guilt at the sound of the girl’s voice, and I glance over my shoulder at the men in black chasing me. I was never going to outrun them.

I shook my head, racking my brain for any other fragments of what that flashback was- then I realize something. That memory wasn’t mine.

Dare to finish it!

Till my pen meets the paper again,
