Emotional Map

Prompt: a non-fiction piece. Word Count: 100.

I wish sometimes I had access to a map. It wouldn’t be a normal map but an emotional one. I would be able to enlarge it and see at a glance how my whole family were faring emotionally.

We’re all subject to the highs and lows of state of mind. Even on the sunniest day we may only see doom and gloom depending on the news of the day and even be susceptible to the moods of other people with whom we interact each day.

That map would point me in the right direction, warn me of impending storms. .
