Today’s word is ‘cape’ and the twist is to write from the perspective of an inanimate desktop item.
Thank you for stopping by to enjoy my writing! Stick around for at least 30 seconds so I know you’ve been here. Throw out some claps, highlights, and a comment before you go! I’m eager to see what you write about on your page, too!
Rachel turned over in bed, her blanket a cape.
It was 2 pm.
The lamp on the desk next to her bed shone dimly through the room, which was closed off from the world with tightly drawn shades.
“I’ll never matter,” sighed the lamp.
“I’m supposed to brighten the room, but all I can manage is a dull glow.”
A half-empty bottle of Johnny Walker fell off Rachel’s bed, rolling into the corner.
The lamp sighed sadly, looking disdainfully at Rachel, and thinking only of itself. “I could have been so much. Instead, this is my lot in life.”
