WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a scene that conveys deep emotion without using any dialogue.

You can explore any emotion you’d like, but try to focus on actions and body language of the characters. Remember, no dialogue.

The Blade

I slam my door

Curl up on the floor

Hugging my knees to my chest

Tears are pouring down my face

I scream

No one hears me

So I scream again

And again

I struggle to my feet

Open my drawer

Take the knife

Drag it across my skin

The tears keep falling

But the screams are subsiding

The blood is dripping down my arm

Onto the floor

I keep dragging the blade across me

Until I feel okay
