STORY STARTER

Write a story exploring the idea of being forgotten.

Whether it is the narrator that has been forgotten, or an item, or a place, see what ideas come to mind for this narrative.

The Struggle Of Virtual Learning

I sit at my desk Staring at the blindingly bright screen In a tee shirt and pajamas bottoms It still hasn’t happened I tap my fingers aimlessly against the keyboard And try not to get too stressed Will I miss this? How will I be able to ask questions? The blank screen stares back at me reading, “Please wait, the host will let you in soon” But it still hasn’t happened I look at the clock in the bottom corner It says 12:45 Fifteen minutes late Not again Everyday for the past few weeks Am I still being forgotten?

Beautiful. I can relate exactly to this feeling.

This is amazing :)

It’s really simple but still conveys that same type of insecurity that I often feel these days.

I like to write sometimes when I feel inspired or motivated. I’m not very experienced so it would be nice for some feedback
