The challenge is to: Choose a song and then write a brief story that is inspired by or further explains the lyrics of the song.(inspired by the book Lit Riffs by Matthew Miele.)
I haven't written fiction in a long time, and found that it was hard to stop writing once I started. I really need to write more often.
