This week, Jenny has given us a picture prompt and 100 words! We are to write from the perspective of a nearby window in the photo. I want to get inside Jenny’s head for a little while, just to see how her mind comes up with these interesting prompts.
LIVING VICARIOUSLY
(Prompt: Looking from the window in the picture shown below)
From the window, I watch them run up and down the field. They don’t know me, but, in my head, they are my teammates and friends. I cheer when our team scores and worry when one is injured. Now, checking their numbers, I fear that Number 2, whom I call “Julie”, is on the ground. I intently watch as she bravely limps to the bench.
From the bench, Julie cheers, and I join her in cheering. I cheer for our team, Julie’s bravery, and my good fortune in having teammates and friends, in spite of my confinement to this wheelchair.
Thank you for coming to read my perspective from the window. To find links to other’s perspectives, go to Jenny Matlock Off On My Tangent. laurie
