This wasn’t an easy one to do. Literally nothing came to mind with spine as a prompt. Not a single idea for a flash fiction.
Luckily I can write a poem on anything. It may not be what you’re looking for, though.

Another Shiver
another shiver
runs up my spine
as if one
wasn’t nearly enough
I’m losing
not just my courage
my heart too
can’t turn away
this is what
I have to look at
look forward to
the future I seek?
I can’t face it
I can’t look at it
the death
the hate
it’s not just fear
it’s tiredness
the sky
finally cleared…
another shiver
runs up my spine
but
I won’t just hide
I may be shaking
but I’ll do so
on the front lines
where change happens
join me
there’s work to do
ignore the shivers
fear can’t win
