WRITING OBSTACLE

Inspired by Samantha Roberts

Write a descriptive scene about a character feeling the sunlight on their face for the first time in a very long while.

Try to use as many senses as you can to capture this moment.

20 Years

For 20 years, I've been missing this sun

I've missed everything

I've missed my son,

I've missed my wife,

I've missed my castle

I've missed my old life


For 20 years, I've been trying to get back to this spot

Back to everything

Back to my son,

Back to my wife,

Back to my castle

Back to my old life


The sunlight pours through the window onto our wedding bed

I feel the rays hit my face, warming the whole room

Warming everything

Warming my son,

Warming my wife,

Warming my castle,

Warming my old life


I'd been in the sun for years, burning my skin as I tried to sail back

Back to everything

Back to my son,

Back to my wife,

Back to my castle,

Back to my old life


I'd never thought that a sunrise would be the thing to break me

But here I am, surrounded

Surrounded by everything

Surrounded by my son,

Surrounded by my wife,

Surrounded by my castle

Surrounded by my old life


But here I am

20 years of pent up tears

20 years of missing the sun

20 years I'll never get back


Now I'm here

Waking in the sunlight


After 20 years, I'm home
