“The only two people who might be able to share my secret and explain it to me have been dead and gone for twenty years, everything they know returned to the earth.”

–Libba Bray, A Great and Terrible Beauty, pg. 196

Write a story that begins with this quote. Write for as long as the ideas come to you. Try to do so for at least 15 minutes without distraction. It doesn’t have to make sense, and it doesn’t have to be finished. Try not to edit as you write, just let it all out, then come back to it later and try to make sense of it. Edit it into something more clear and concise.
