WRITING OBSTACLE

Choose an inanimate object. Describe it to your readers as though it is a living being.

Consider the progression of this story, and whether you will reveal to your readers the true nature of the item you chose. Build suspense and curiosity.

It It It It It It It It

It smiled

It laughed

It cried

It was happy

It used to do all that

It used to do even more

But now it doesn’t

Screams drowned out by its demons

Demons killed with a precise slash of its blade

It holds no remorse

It has no pity

The only thing it can do

Is be

It doesn’t know how

It doesn’t know what

It’s only the now

And instincts

That it truly understands

No human emotions

No glee

And that folks

Is me
