Mea Culpa

A six word story

~~~

~~

 

Barren dust,

         buried dreams,

          "mea culpa!"

Author's Note

Mea Culpa is Latin for: "I'm to blame". I had a written explanation for those who might not be familiar with the concept of a six word story, but as you'll see, it wasn't appreciated - so I deleted it...

You see: it's an entire story of a barren life; dying (dust to dust) without ever giving birth to their dreams - with no one to blame but themselves.

Wow.. I love it. It's short, obviously. But the images it brings to mind.. I fear I should not think upon it too long, else it will depress me. I love it. =] Excellent work! And by the way.. don't you dare let one person get you down. I'll always be right behind you (or beside you, whichever you prefer). You have great talent, and don't forget it!

Sometimes I find that short pieces are often the most difficult pieces to write. It can be more than difficult to say everything in so few words but I really think you did an astounding job! Its so mystifying and dramatic. Fantastic work!
