Five Minute Friday: March 29, 2013

Hello Lovely People!

Ok, I know this is being posted on Sunday, but to be fair I DID write it on Friday, just haven't been able to post it. It's been a beautiful weekend and I've been too distracted by the sun :)

Five Minute Friday's were created by Lisa-Jo Baker, this week's submission are here! Basically you get a prompt and write about it for five minutes, no editing, no going back. This week's prompt: Broken

Start

Broken: A Short Story.

He was never afraid of being locked up in a jail or a cage. He never really feared anything. If anything, he got a kick out of the idea of being held somewhere. He liked to imagine that he was an adventurer in a far off land, caught while saving a damsel in distress. Sometimes he himself was the damsel. Other times he would imagine exploring the wilderness to find undergroud caverns filled with gold and booby traps  Even other times he would be a trapped evil master mind, plotting is escape and world domination.

Until last year.

Now he dreams of walking outside on a bright sunny day, playing with his dog. Of going to his school, passing notes and doodling on his desk. Of hanging out under the steps with his best friends, dreaming of the future and the hottest girls. He even dreams of being bullied, getting beat up or kicked. Anything besides his bedroom, and the hospital bed that replaced his own. Anything besides the reality that he will never move again after the car crash. Anything besides the fact the he is broken, both inside and out.

Stop

Ok, that was a little dark, but still hope it serves a purpose.

Till the next post, keep on smiling!
