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
