More First Lines From Books . . . Prompt #771
“A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness . . .”
“The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls
“I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the window and saw Mom rooting through a dumpster.”
“Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus
“Back in 1961, when women wore shirtwaist dresses and joined garden clubs and drove legions of children around in seatbeltless cars without giving it a second thought; back before anyone knew there’d even be a sixties movement, much less one that its participants would spend the next sixty years chronicling; back when the big wars were over and the secret wars had just begun and people were starting to think fresh and believe everything was possible, the thirty-year-old mother of Madeleine Zott rose before dawn every morning and felt certain of just one thing: her life was over.”

Life . . . Prompt #770
More than one friend recently told me their difficulties, about how things seem impossible, how hard everything is.
Sometimes I wonder why these things happen.
And then I remember: Life.
Life happens.
There are ups and downs.
Situations that seem hopeless.
And then time goes by.
We find solutions. Or the situation remedies somehow.
Write about a time that seemed hopeless. What happened?
Or, if you are in a situation now that seems hopeless, write as if the problem has been resolved.
What would your life look like if this situation was remedied?
