I’m VOCAL Again: “Voices of the Past”

/ Staci Troilo

Ciao, amici. I’m still catching up on work and trying not to dwell on things that hurt. But I think you’ll find my problems aren’t far from mind.

I wrote a story for the latest Vocal challenge. If (when?) you read it, you’ll understand where my head and heart are. Even in fiction, I can’t get away from it.

I’d greatly appreciate any hearts, comments, shares. You know the drill, if you’re so inclined.

The prompt for this challenge is:

Write a fiction story (600 to 5,000 words) from the perspective of a wall that can talk.

You must begin with
“If walls could talk.”

I’d love to hear your thoughts. You can find my story by clicking the link: Voices of the Past. Grazie!

  3. That was great, Staci. I loved the intensity of the language and the “character.” That wall sure could talk. And a great little story embedded in there, I liked the tie to the theme at the end. I’m glad the wall found some peace. Well done!

  5. Walls talking immediately make me think of the Peanuts characters talking to the walls of their school, lol. But this was powerful, Staci. I figured out the type of building, but that ending surprised me – which I loved!
