I don’t think these six words establish anything about my character which was a key piece to the story. Also, it is hard to build suspense with three words without completely giving away the ending of the story.
Fun Fall, but no more love.
Hand in hand, goodbye defines love.
I’m trying to write some gay version of Orpheus/Eurydice through the perspective of Eurydice. I feel like it could turn into a novel honestly, and I wish I’d picked something more fragmented/manageable. The idea is that one of them possesses a lot of ambition/talent and most importantly, hubris, and believes they can have it all (including our Eurydice, who loves unconditionally). She is offered up as the collateral to their own soul—they essentially make a deal with the devil in order to achieve their true genius/achieve their dreams. When they ultimately lose her due to their own choices, it will be their lack of faith in her that costs them that love. I don’t know if there is really a lesson here–ambition/success means nothing when we don’t have someone to share it with at the end of the day? Love is pain? Still, all of its complexities are lost when it’s distilled to this point—however, I can definitely see this exercise as a good reminder to stay true to the original intention and point.
Lips bitten raw, the cycle repeats.
Live with what you leave behind
When your love is unforgiven, leave.
Mother in the making, but no.

You can’t have it all now.
Love is the world’s greatest trap.
Bones are safe- where are they?
