WRITING OBSTACLE

Eager. Astonishing. Engulf.

In a story of no more than 10 lines, use these three words in any order. Try not to randomly throw them in, but think about a storyline that allows you to link them all naturally.

Engulf

I was eager once.

Struck by the incredible truth that I, out of all of us, had been chosen, I saw it as exciting. I could hardly wait to get started.

That excitement faded quickly enough once the real work started, and I realized just how hard a task it was.

Now, it threatens to engulf me, everything else fading into the background as my burden grows exponentially heavier.

It is astonishing how very heavy a burden can be when there is no end in sight.
