Summer B - Day 2

Author's Note: 

This is just a fun little activity, I didn't really edit anything at all. I originally had these writings scribbled in my journal, took around 10 minutes or less to write them. I just come up with ideas on the spot, it makes me happy and it feels like a mind exercise to keep my imagination strong and flowing. Enjoy these really short little stories! I asked a couple of new friends for prompt ideas and this is what I came up with. 

What would you have written differently for these prompts? :)

Collage & Short Story Created by Drusilla U. 

I was a heart in a cage, and you taught me how to bleed for mere applause. 

Author's Note:

    This was created on October 13th of year 2024, unfinished to this day. Still, I would like to showcase it on here. I'd rather have it on display than catching dust in my documents. It was a creation I fabricated on the whim, emotionally, during a point in my life full of turmoil where I had even tattooed myself and gave myself a piercing just to find a way out of the labyrinth of pain, to catch my breath and alleviate the festering wound. I truly felt like a circus monkey locked in the cage. Others with hollow hearts, eating away at my hemorrhaging bloom, my red inflamed heart with their sharp merciless teeth. Ripping at my heart and mind. I was truly helplessly confined by my own feelings, unable to free myself from this cage, everyone just watching and pointing. No one helping me. I was just a slave for amusement to this apathetic audience: a circus monkey.
