I'm going to try this picture prompt and the six story challenge together.
Today's word - "Activate"

Open Your Eyes
You might want to close your eyes,
not look back.
Or hide under rose bush
forget the rack.
See, there is no darkness which
can erase
those images which caused your
mind to craze.
But activate those neurons now
open your eyes
turn, be brave, face the windows
of their lies.
