The town I grew up in doesn't exist anymore
The town I grew up in doesn't exist anymore.
I grew up among the city lights that dimmed in the shine of a thousand stars. I grew up in the bed of pink flowers and satin winters. I grew up amongst stories told in dusty alcoves and late night shouts of growing kids trying to play hide and seek in the first two floors of the apartment because Amma said I can't go any higher. I grew up in the rickety stone bench and the parapet we treated as a balance beam. I grew up in a town that cushioned my fall with soft grass and held my hands through the turmoils of my first crush.
I grew up in a town as easy to love as breathing.
Except breathing is scented by the putrid stench of petrol and rotting garbage and the stars have bid you adieu. The lakes we used for skipping stones are frothing at the mouth like an angry monster. The sun shines too bright to lie on the grass and read a book on the bed of pale pink flowers and the dusty alcoves cause allergies. The nights are darker than the eyes of the best friend I lost to the speed of the road years ago and the cars grind to a stop to pay their respects. Stone benches are overgrown with the tears of children that haven't eaten in days and roses picked from cemeteries.
The town I grew up in doesn't exist anymore.
I don't know if it ever did.

Prompt 181
“Hey. Hey Tuck. Tucker. Tuck look. Look.” 
Tucker looked over the edge of the screen lazily, the half interested words on his tongue dying as he let out a wheeze of laughter. “Oh my Ancient Sands, dude, how did you manage that?” 
Danny had, for the last near year, been trying to mix shapeshifting, thank you Amorpho, with duplication. Something he’d apparently succeeded in today, if the massive fuck-you hydra standing before him was any indication. The very pleased looking, well did it count as a hydra if it had wings too? 
“You need to show Sam. Oh my Sands we need to show Val too. And Wes. You did it dude!” He floated up to look at Danny, who did a little twirl to show off. He shook his head, flecks of gold and sand falling from his hair as he laughed. 
“Do you think,” Danny lost it in laughter as several other heads echoed his words, from whichever the main him was. “Holy ancients that’s great- do, do you think we can make a dragon club? Hydras are totally dragons right? Do you think we could pull a Tiamat?” 
He landed on a head, taking a selfie to add to the groupchat labeled Preparations. “Dude, we should, but let me send this to the others first… But I am so down.” 
They can, in fact apparently, pull a Tiamat- with a little help from Princess Dora, practice in front of Frostbite in case something goes wrong, and some advice from Pandora on controlling extra limbs. Honestly, who is going to want to mess with Amity when there’s a giant dragon? And hey, maybe they can break the barrier now! 
The heads for those wondering who I was thinking of for each lol And perhaps what they might all get ((1) Kwan, Pressurized Water) ((2) Wes, Sonic Blast) ((3) Sam, Poison Gas) ((4) Star, Plasma) ((5) Danny, Ice Breath) ((6) Paulina, Acid) ((7) Tucker, Electricity) ((8) Valerie, Fire Breath) ((9) Dash, Pressurized Wind)
