Debut: Unwanted Birth?
Catastrophe. Was this the only way to describe my deep pool of emotion? Must this have been the premiere of my life as a new born child? Must I have encountered the circle of life at all? Why would I not be allowed to just stay in this protected atmosphere and environment. My cocoon. Me just waiting to emerge from my mother’s womb. Was I ready for such an unexpected stage? Or most importantly… was my owner? What joys of life would I experience as a real person… or at least, baby? Point: I LIKE IT BETTER HERE! End of.

100 words exactly. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love this little piece of writing. I love the way it works towards its conclusion; I love the slightly stroppy tone of it all; and I love the ending, which I think is very effective.
The only flaws, then, are:
1) only 138 syllables (I think) so there is room for more polysyllabic words
2) Lots of metaphor, but could there be more alliteration???
Great stuff though... :)
thanks sir :) ill redraft and post again soon!
