This weekend, we are revisiting a prompt we've done before. We are giving you three words and asking that you add another 33 to them to make a complete 36-word response. You may use the words in any order you choose.
Our three words are:
remember
rain
rebellion
Now you give us yours.
They would fight to the finish!
They'd win back their slowly disappearing rights.
They wouldn't take it anymore!
