WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
Show a powerful emotion β love, grief, rage - in a quiet, everyday moment.
Instead of writing a dramatic and drawn out scene, think about how subtle actions and sensory details can carry the weight of the feeling.
Shoulder Bump
She despises me so much.
I can truly tell from the way she looks at me,
Her eyes the only sign, her eyebrows and lips unmoved.
As I pass by,
She bumps my shoulder.
Not in a hurting way,
Just a simple push to the side,
Not as polite as a simple βExcuse me,β
Just an action that says βGet the fuck out of my way.β
And it hurts me.
Not physically,
But emotionally.
