Heh, I was hoping you might see where we got to before setting a prompt, but more because I can't keep the suspense up for too long without running of year in which to write the poem! So, just to reassure you, i do have a plan here; involving time-travels, frogs, Red and a thirty centimetre strip of magnesium wire. The length is important.

But for now, let's find out about the
Breathing shadows
Something seems familiar, like she’s done this all before,
So she pauses in the shadows thinking back,
To a snowy night when things exploded…
She hears the shadows breathing at her back.

Greg - I... just... sigh. Well. It is a shame that you *only* have a year to write this.

Anyway.

Hmm, I'll have to have a think about what would be a good prompt to continue from here. But for now, on its own, this is a very fine entry to the story.
