Hello everyone! Prompts for November come from a variety of sources, featuring themes of change, conflict and departure. I hope these are inspiring for you!

01. i believe in you. do you believe in me?
02. you think i can't tame that? i always come home. always. ravenous. loaded. you know better than anybody: i'm bigger than god.
03. mostly i want to be kind.
04. "you can tell me anything. i won't listen, though."
05. "you, sir, are beyond help."
06. why, you will go home and then you will find that home is not home anymore. then you will really be in trouble.
07. i try to be careful, but sometimes i fall in love.
08. listen to me or not, as you please. but someday, whether you wish it or not, you will learn.
09. as for me... i remember being my usual weathervane self... blissfully letting the days slide past...

12. i've arrived at a time in my life where i could believe almost anything.
13. you know how hard it is to be a dead person trapped inside the world of the living.
14. there is a kind of pressure in humans to take whatever is most beloved by them and smash it.
15. you can stop being part of a mistake, starting now.
16. the sun goes down and you can see the moon more clearly, slightly illuminated and / i wonder is Xthat - Xthat / lifeless frozen sphere in the sky, is that our future?
17. WHY ARE YOU FULL OF RAGE? BECAUSE YOU ARE FULL OF GRIEF.
18. "one is friendly, curious: the other, well, she's not interested."
19. this is just like the last time. with the red and our bodies like roadkill laid out on the tiles - ?

22. i don't know if i'm real when i'm not being touched
23. i could pretend i’m speaking to everyone - assume a middle distance and transcend myself - but i’m talking to you and you know it.
24. -- how lonely to be something that nothing wants to kill.
25. i punch up, i punch down, i punch all around the town!
26. "i shouldn't have done that." "well, you did." / "you should never have done this." "well, i did."
27. i was a stranger too familiar and not enough
28. "you need to stay detached or you'll regret it someday." "yeah, well... at least i'll be able to live with myself."
