A Silent Witness (a writing challenge idea)

Write a fiction or non-fiction story in poetry or prose about the lifetime of an accessory, (a bracelet, watch, favorite pair of shoes, anything you wear every day) from when you get it to the time you must throw it away through this object's eyes. Make sure to include moments in your life your accessory has seen you through; relationships, big tests, the loss of a pet, anything you would like to include.

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting
