February 21: Story Challenge in 99-words
February 21, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story using the phrase, “I’d rather be…” You fill in what comes next. What would a character(s) rather be doing and why?
I am I am what I am I make no excuses Nor do I make changes Yet there are days when I feel like a non-entity Grey, faded, invisible to the world outside These are my duvet days When I wonder, Can I give my mind a do over? Introduce new thoughts Not so easy, the old grey matter is stubborn It runs on automatic pre-determined thoughts Habits, like chewing your nails Hard to break These days, I imagine So many kinds of me None seem to fit In the end I would rather be… Right where I am… ©AnitaDawes2022
