STORY STARTER

Write a story about how something that appears to be harmless is used to cause suffering.

You may choose to write about an actual object that is disguised or misused, or perhaps something more metaphorical.

Game of Dolls

An arm where an arm is missing. My parents taught me how to knit. An eye where an eye is missing. I learned how to repair my dolls. A finger where a finger is missing. I was playing with my dolls. A foot where there is no foot. I heard a loud sound. An ear where an ear is missing. I saw a man run from the house. A nose where a nose is missing. My parents were broken. A tongue where a tongue is missing. I grabbed the thread. A lip where a lip is missing. Their parts kept falling. A leg where a leg is missing. So I replaced them with the ones on my dolls. A head where a head is missing. My parents were always there for me. A tooth where a tooth is missing. And now, I'm not going to let them go.
