Welcome to The Daily Aftershock Writing Prompt—a daily invitation to write from the edges of aftermath, memory, rupture, and repair.

Each day, you'll receive a short, charged prompt designed to crack something open. There are no rules, only resonance. Use these however you need: to begin a poem, to open your diary, to find your voice again.

The Aftershock Review is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Write about the room that didn’t protect you.The corridor that echoed too much.The house that watched it happen and said nothing.

Here’s a way in:

The walls did not keep you safe.The bed did not keep you soft.You kept yourself.
