 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: What was the hardest part of being a kid? -- I was an only child, and in my early childhood, although I was treated quite well by the adults, I felt terribly isolated and trapped among those beings whose motives I never quite grasped. This was partly due to my mother’s overprotectiveness. She liked to choose playmates for me from among her friends’ kids, and even with those, I was allowed to play not very often. That had to be why I taught myself to read at the age of four. Actually, I began asking my grandmother who lived with us the letters and words that I saw on the daily newspaper and the calendar that hung on the wall. Once I could read, I was much happier. Maybe because of that, later on, schoolwork came easy to me. I never complained about it like other kids. Plus, once in school, I found a whole lot of friends.  Prompt: You open the last book on earth. What is the book about? --- That book will have to be the history of our mankind, and it would have to show how foolish and obtuse our species could be for ending up in a post-apocalyptic situation with only the last book. And I bet only some author with gumption would be writing it because all the others would be struggling for survival. |
