Write a short story including a character who is ‘the rough in the diamonds’ instead of ‘the diamond in the rough.’
Human
"You know maybe he is just stupid."
"You cannot say that Daisy"
They both just stare at me like I'm an idiot. Which I might just be but it's not my fault. It's not everyday a person gets thrust into a magical word filled with elves, dragons, mermaids, fairies and who knows what else. I was just trying to get to get work in the morning and just so happened to trip over a tree and fell into some portal. So far I've gotten by because they see me as an a weird looking deformed elf.
"Look over there it's that weird elf everyone's been talking about. He's so far from home. It's no wonder he is really if I had a kid like that I'd get rid of him too. He really is a rough in a diamond."
"Hey lady" I yelled back
"If I had a kid like yours I wouldn't be talking" Looking over at her kid pushing a kid off a slide.
How I ended up at some weird monster park I have no idea.
I look around and just think to myself I may not be a diamond. But I sure as hell am stronger than most of the people here.
