History That Never Was

Prompt 14 in the Big Pink Book features stickers mostly across the top of the page, with a single sticker at the bottom, left-hand corner, and provides a TON of space for writing.

Across the top of the page, there are six stickers. From left to right, they are:

1. An iridescent silver musical staff, which starts wide at the left and narrows as it ripples and swoops to the right.
2. A peach-colored right hand with red or dark pink fingernails “throwing the horns” or making the ASL sign for “I love you” (pinky, index finger, and thumb extended; ring and middle finger folded into the palm).
3. A small silver and black microphone, tilted to the left.
4. A narrow gold lightning bolt of about the same width throughout, pointing downward to the left.
5. A narrow gold arrow pointing to the right, with the text “Perfectly Imperfect” in all capital letters.
6. A yellow, round face with a narrow strip of green hair standing upright, the right eye wide and the left eye squinted, and a toothy grin, looking like a potential emoji for punk rock.

The sole sticker at the bottom, left-hand corner is a wide lime-green arrow with a notch in the base, pointing upward.

Most of the stickers on this page are along a music theme, though I’m certain there are other interpretations possible as well! Come back on Friday to see what I did with this prompt!
