[Prompts!10] musical memories, the past haunting the present, and time travel
Come smash that writer's block with me!
I still love Dido’s song and I keep it on my list of songs to listen to when I write. And yet, each time I hear it, it takes me back to both those happy and exciting days of fantasy, and the sad reality of my failing marriage and my mother’s death. I am transported back in time and feel that trapped feeling all over again.
