Today I am writing a story using certain words given to me. Plastic bottle, hockey puck, dirty handkerchief, crumpled note.
There once was a guy named John. He was a great hockey player and today was the day he was going to have the biggest game of his life. There will be lots of college scouts there to watch him. The only thing is, he has to remember to go clean the rink before he could play. He was suppose to be at the rink at 11 A.M. to start. John slept through his alarm and didn’t wake up until 10:50. He got up and got ready as quickly as he could and got to the rink, immediately he started practicing so that he would be ready for when the scouts were there. Towards the end of the showcase, John was going up to hit the hockey puck, right as he swung for it his skate hit a plastic bottle that was on the rink because he forgot to clean it. The scouts didn’t know what to do, as one of them blew on his dirty handkerchief and watched John get back up, he decided to walk down to the ice and make sure John was okay. After making sure he was, the scout went back to his seat and continued to watch. Later that day when John got home, he noticed a crumpled up note that his mom had written him to remind him to clean the rink before he started. He thought he wasn’t going to need a reminder. He realized then that maybe if he had seen the note he wouldn’t have fallen down in front of all the scouts.

Matraca,
ReplyDeleteLove your story! It was creative. It had a nice flow to it and I kept looking at your words that you needed to use to see what you had left. I think I will use a writing prompt to spice up my writing. In the beginning I used a couple but then switched to using a topic from my day. Thanks for the reminder that writing prompts are fun!
