The Dress that shone
Long ago, in the age of angels, magic, fairies, witches, goblins and ghouls, there lived four royal children. In the year that they turned thirteen, a royal ball was held in their honor. This year, the youngest, who shone like a brightly lit lantern...was the center of attention with her coming of age celebration.

Insurances
When I was asked to move from the big city of Philly halfway across the country to the small town of Centerville, OK, I was excited for the new start and the new job. My insurance company offered me a promotion to move because I'm young and unattached. I was to be one of two agents in the branch.

This is super scary. Best of luck to you in the challenge, Antoni!π
those dirty devils, now you cant scream.
The restraint in your language makes it even more unsettling. Itβs amazing how silence and confinement can speak louder than screams.
Oh my, that's so sad and scaryyyy! Loved your poem!
That's terrifying!
Fantabulous! Go gurl! π§‘ππͺπΎ
Excellent entry! I canβt think of anyone who isnβt afraid of being buried alive. Nicely done.
Nicely done :) And really unpleasant, so it fits the prompt very well
Well-wrought! The second line especially evokes a stark image in so few words!
