I have not been going for any writer’s
circle for the past few months and have not been doing any creative writing for
a while. For the fear of losing my hold on the English language, I asked a
friend to help me out and she would give me prompts for me to write.
I would very much welcome any kind of
response to better my writing.
Time given to write was 10 minutes.
The prompt was: “Ballet Shoes, Football
Ball and a Wheelchair”
She could not make up her mind when people
around her questioned her whom of the two does she prefer. As a sibling, as a
role model and her greatest influence. They are both her siblings. They are
both a huge part of her life. They both once took care of her and changed her
smelly diapers.
On one hand she has a sister who is has the
elegance and the swiftness that one can only hope to achieve. On the other he
has the agility and the strength that others strife to achieve. As a younger
sister she could only hope to be half as good as what they are.
In the back of her head she knew she could
never be like them. She could not run like the football player that her sister
is. She will never be as graceful as the amazing dancer that her brother is.
She will never kick the ball on the grass or feel the satin slipper on her
feet. Her life was stuck on the chair. Her legs strapped stiff, dependant on
the wheel to walk her around.
