WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a story where no characters have names.

Think of creative ways to identify your characters without using their names. How might the characters themselves refer to others?

Nature’s Creations

The lunch room filled with what felt like thousands of students. They poured in from directions I didn’t even know were possible. A red-headed girl with a constellation of freckles sat across from me and was quickly followed by a tall boy with dark green eyes. They quickly introduced themselves, but their names quickly vanished and I was left with only their faces. My dramatising mind decided on new—although not better— names:constellation and forest. I don’t know why I did this to myself every time I met new people especially since it would now take me forever to learn their actual names. But I continued conversation anyhow and they remained blissfully unaware that they were now creations of nature.
