Tweet Challenge: A New Normal


I'm jumping into this week's Red Writing Hood prompt challenge, which was write a story of your choice. The catch? Write it as a tweet. Use only 140 characters – including spaces.






"A New Normal"

At first they scare her. But time breeds familiarity. By the time she’s 18, even the most gruesome spirits are merely part of the landscape.

Nice job on the 140. Unfortunately, getting used to bad things becomes the norm. Sad in a way.

I like the subject matter. But I can't help typing: she sees dead people. Sorry about that. Cool take on the prompt.

Understandable. It's a meme.

"and this is one of the best ones I've read all day"

Well, thank you. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
