WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a description of being caught in a thunderstorm without using the words:

Above

Cold

Fall/fell

Down

Focus on all aspects of the situation – the physical sensations, the appearance of the sky and landscape, and potentially the mood of the narrator as part of this.

Thunder

ka boom!

the loud thunder roars through the sky,

the wind carries the leaves, scatters them carelessly around on the ground,

the branches sway back and forth as if they are dancing to the finest tune.

the air is cold and down below

a girl falls to her knees,

kneels underneath a bridge,

softly mumbles a prayer out into the world,

it’s quiet around her, the silence wraps its arms around her and it’s the closest thing to peace,

and in this moment of time it’s as if she’s the only one existing,

a single tear runs down her cheek and dries itself when it falls onto her shirt,

the rain falls softly on the concrete and she looks up above

and for the first time- she’s seen it.
