✰ PROMPT
We debated doing this, since we just had a music prompt, but it's just so perfect for right now. Promise there won't be another music-related prompt for a while.
This round: Summer Skin by Death Cab for Cutie.

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
You can write as much or as little as you want; this round has no word or time limit. Whatever this song inspires! Happy August writing.

wanderlark said she was going to post this, but I think she's out of internet for a while and I know y'all wanna get writing. Also, since music is a repeated theme, we might do a flash drive-by prompt towards the end of the month as well, so keep an eye out for that.
