Prompt #4: Insides
Emotions are like organs. Like lungs, livers, hearts. They belong on the inside. No good has ever come of letting your insides out.
Unfortunately, unlike organs, emotions are not always content to stay where they belong. They have a troublesome tendency to claw their way to the surface and try to sneak out onto your face, into your words, your eyes...
They are traitors, constantly threatening to give you away.
They are dangerous.
Happiness. Sadness. Not one of them is safe. But most hazardous of all is love.
Love cannot bear captivity. And so he must escape before it does.
