STORY STARTER
Write a story about a character who is ill, trying to achieve something they can easily do when well.
This character could have any illness, but remember how hard simple tasks sometimes seem even with the smallest of ailments!
Plucking A Rose
I tried to pluck the rose, but I only achieved pricking myself with the thorn.
My hand was too weak, and my breathing suddenly increased. My chest hurt with pain as I again tried to pick the rose. Maybe nature was condemning me for trying to take the rose from the bush.
Tears swelled in my eyes.
It was silly, really, that I was crying because I could not pick a flower…but it was more than that.
I was so ill I couldn’t achieve a task I used to do day by day.
I was slowly losing myself.
