Today is
the 18th Edition of #WritingWednesday!!!
Remember, #WritingWednesday is an EASY, STRESS-FREE, weekly writing challenge.
- Read the
writing prompt below,
- Spend 5
minutes writing (in your own voice or the voice of a character you’re writing) whatever
comes to mind,
- DON’T
EDIT what you write! IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT!
The goal is 5 minutes of creativity.
Today I am writing in the voice of Nigel, a character in one of the novels I’m currently outlining.
Today’s writing prompt:
Have you ever experienced something that could not be logically
explained?
Something
that could not be logically explained? To you or to me? My whole life is filled
with things that most humans would say could not be logically explained.
I’m
blind. I wasn’t always blind, but when I was seven years old, I drowned. My
family was at a backyard bar-b-q at a neighbor’s house, and I was playing with
the other kids when I slipped and fell into the pool. I remember the feeling of
the cold water rushing around me but after that, nothing.
I’m
told I spent six months in the hospital, most of which I was either in a coma
or sedated. When I finally woke up, I had lost all vision in both eyes. I
couldn’t remember what my parents looked like or even that I had a little
brother, only three years old.
My
parents sent me away, to a boarding school for the blind. They said it would be
the best thing for me—that I’d learn how to deal with my new reality.
I
learned.
I
trained.
I
grew.
My
life is different now. I still can’t see, not in the way you do anyway.
However, my sight goes so much deeper than yours ever could.
They
call me a Precognitive. It’s a fancy word for someone who knows what will come…someone
with the ability to see into the future. So you see, my whole life is filled
with things that you might say are not logically explainable.
