WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a story where the protagonist only says the same ten words but can rearrange them differently.

Think carefully about the selection of these ten words and what the protagonist may be able to articulate with them.

The Stroke

After the stroke I can’t talk much. Well I can think, but I’m physically unable to speak more than ten words.


“The stroke hurt me so much, that I can’t talk.” I say to mom.


“I know, sweety. I know.” She responds.


“I can’t talk much.” I say. Mom gives a weak response and pats me on the back. I want to cry, but I can’t. I just can’t. I want to say more, but I can’t.


I just can’t.
