Ignite
I stood there, in the rain, trying to remember something good.
The hurt is overpowering. Gasoline in my wound.
A rebellion begins somewhere deep inside.
I am hollow. I am on fire. And you are gone.

This is my submission for this weekend’s Trifextra challenge. The challenge was a little different this weekend. Here’s what we had to do:
This weekend, we are revisiting a prompt we’ve done before. We are giving you three words and asking that you add another 33 to them to make a complete 36-word response. You may use the words in any order you choose.
Our three words are:
remember
rain
rebellion
Now you give us yours.
I want to say thank you to everyone who read and voted for Monsters At the Gate: Part 3 — it makes my day to know that people are reading and enjoying my writing!
