Writing exercise in which I had to write a piece in 5 minutes and I had to incorporate five random words. Can you guess what those 5 words were?
The man went from house to house, checking each door. Finally he found an unlocked door and in he went. There were rocks and weird animals in the parlour, but that was to be expected. There was also a child, smiling.
“Are you an alcoholic?” the child asked.
“Of course,” the man replied.
“Why?”
“Because of you and all of these things,” the man said, pointing to the rocks and the animals.
“You don’t need to be afraid,” the child said. “You can be yourself now.”
But the man couldn’t be himself, he couldn’t confess, not today, not in front of the rocks and the animals.
