Write a story, in any genre, which includes this line.
Picked
I remember the day I was picked .
It’s so vivid yet so blurry .
My hope of a good future that was painfully cut until one strand remained .
A mixture of saddness that spiralled into anger .
Why ….Why ….Why ?
Did everything have to change ?!
That was what I thought .
Just like this person beside me .
Unable to function , dangerously , almost possessed to get revenge .
I must help them how he helped me .
The ugly truth is still there .
That can’t be avoided .
But I want to help this person brace it .
Funny when I was like this ,how everything that was happening, all the shouts trying to restain me .
Reach me .
Only one thing stopped me .
Him.
His words .
They reached me .
“ Look I didn’t ask to be picked . None of us did .”
