The Messes
Think about the most annoying, frustrating, and/or chaotic person you know. Maybe it’s your deadbeat friend, maybe it’s your messy coworker, maybe it’s your annoying brother who always asks you for money. Write a prose piece about them or from their point of view.

Excerpt of Friendship

“As a friend let me be honest with you; I feel bad for you. There is no greater joy I have know in this life than becoming a mother. There is nothing you can eat or buy that will ever fill the void that a child can fill. If your husband were to die you would have nobody and at least I have my child who will love me unconditionally.”

”I can see it you know, see how the light has drained from your eyes. Every late period, every negative test it’s eating away at you. The hope weighs heavy in your heart. Maybe it’s time to restart.”

“IVF was only $45,000 out of pocket for us which isn’t bad. Money will always come back to you so why let it stop you if it means finally becoming a mom. It truly isn’t that far, the specialist is only two states over. We‘ll even let you stay in our house near there to save you the travel back and fourth.”

“Adoption?! You‘re husband says he’s fine with it, are you sure. Oh yes I know he said he was fine with it to your face because he loves you and wants you to be happy. But honestly what kind of man really wants to raise someone else’s child.”
