WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a short story or paragraph in passive voice only.

The passive voice places emphasis on the thing rather than the person doing the thing: e.g. “The book was read” rather than “She read the book”.

Morning Coffee

Footsteps echo into the kitchen, sink water runs, a coffee machine hums.

Siting, leaning, patience fleeting, a tail is wagged in gentle greeting.

Curtains are pushed, in warm light floods, pink gloves soon covered in fluffy soap scuds.

Silence is breeched by a long welcomed beep, into a large mug the hot liquid seeps.
