WRITING OBSTACLE

Subitted by Jewelie Rain

Describe a scar on your character and the story of how they got it.

Try to exhibit how the events that caused the scar affect your character now.

Stutter

What a thing felt

behind the threat of a belt


and when they stopped lashing,

they’d beat me into line


and when I’d try

to build life clean


they did their best

to burn my everything


so now, I stutter to myself

about daily things


and feel the room

to see if it feels clean


avoiding all others

to save myself


even if they

haven’t done anything
