The saddest thing about the present is the way it changes the past.
My writing prompt for you today is two scenes. One scene offering a central event, a relationship, and an image, and a second scene occurring later that changes the way we view the elements of the first.
Our present always colors our memories. New experiences with people change the way interpret past experiences. Even if we remember the same pictures and details and faces and words, what we've felt since colors and changes everything. Laughter lends golden hues to awkward moments, comfort lulls and softens the darkest hours- and betrayal washes sunny portraits out to gray.
Moments of clarity are best portrayed in writing prompts. The poetry doesn't last past 4 am very well.
