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.
Paparazzi
This reporter won’t go away.
His eager face glides into the corner of my vision.
Nagging at me.
It’s astonishing to me how much those puppy-dog eyes can persuade.
He hits me with a barrage of questions, not even stopping to breathe.
The weight of these questions takes my breath away.
Talking about my family’s death like it’s just a story-
My feelings, raw feelings, engulf my mind. I can’t think.
It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.
