WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a paragraph or short story from the perspective of someone who feels disappointed.
You do not have to reveal what the character is disappointed about, nor do you have to make them overtly upset, but you should focus on the small signs and behaviours that show their emotions.
B.S.A.L.
I will spend the rest of my day
Stuck in this hourless corridor,
No clock to tell the minutes by,
Every second a wasted one.
And now the script remains unplayed --
A joyful scene now turns to horror;
The audience won't laugh, won't cry,
Won't see again this morning's gun.
Millions of phantoms float by my eyes
Through this graveyard of past plans failed
My spirits lifting, then falling with each
Every time, getting farther from heaven
Then suddenly, I see the sky
Falling, crashing, beginning to hail,
Distracted ears that a voice can't reach
Are tortured until four eleven.
