Memories

MEMORIES

Ghostly figures roam the halls,
reigning over rooms where once
they were unwelcome visitors.
A moonless night and a mysterious spirit
lead to a desolate secret,
a somber night filled with foreboding,
a time of intrigue and terror,
as a dawn,
different from any other,
arrives to roam
the cold, empty corridors alone.

One-Minute Writer - Teach

Today's One-Minute Writing Prompt: Teach

What information or skill would you like to teach to others?

I would like to teach people how to write their life story. Although I am by no means a teacher - maybe not even that good of a writer - I feel I have something to offer.

I have been writing personal memories and essays for over 25 years - the past 13 years I have had a monthly column in my local magazine, Mercer's Magazine. I think everyone has a story to tell, it's just getting it from inside and putting it down on paper.

In my opinion, no story or memory is too small and everyone needs a voice - if not for your current family, then definitely for your future family. I truly wish my grandparents had written down some of their memories - what a special gift that would have been!
