A/N: Hello everyone! I think this is the first consecutive week I've posted, unfortunately.  But I'm going to try to keep this book consistant.  

This week, the prompt was:  Write a story or poem beginning with the phrase: It changed everything.

Here's my response:

It changed everything...

I can still remember,

That night out in the snow,

One night in late December.

It changed everything...

Holiday lights, blinking and glistening,

Icicles that broke free and pierced the frost,

Flakes stuck on eyelashes and tears frozen on cheeks.

They changed everything...

Quickening footsteps, growing louder,

Distant yells and fading sirens,

Confusion rising, fingers trembling,

You changed everything...

Fluorescent lights,

Cardboard walls,

The night you left,

It changed everything.

I'll see you guys next Thursday!
