This story is from my litercay work for this week. we did an A to Z about things we have done in isolation, then we choose one and write a short story. Please comment feedback!
'Zoning out from reality.
My legs pressed against the leather of our elderly couch. This felt familiar. I longed for something wild to happen, to spice things up a little. Some days I wish I was a story character. Going out to the movies with my favourite book characters doesn't seem like a bad idea at all.
I allow myself to close my eyes and fall into a world with no younger sisters. No tidying the house every waking second.
I open my eyes again and see no pristine living room. I see trees, tall towering trees, reaching the clouds. I look around. Everything is shimmering and glitter is falling delicatly from the sky.
Someone yells at me. I turn abruptly and see a girl, she has long blonde hair and surprisingly grey eyes. Annabeth Chase. The female heroine of Percy Jackson. For a minute I stand there and she eyes me up and down excitedly.
“Hi.” I stutter. She just smiles and hugs me. Other silhouettes emerge from the trees. I hug Annabeth whilst trying to wildly study the people around me. It's my favourite book character. Jace Herondale, Rose Hathaway, Luna Lovegood, Tris Prior, Simon Lewis, Sydney Sage…
I start to laugh in pure happiness. This is paradise.
Abruptly I am jerked away from Annabeth. The world starts to fade away. I want to scream, but I let myself be pulled dreamily back into reality.
Hi Bluebell, I’ve really enjoyed reading your story. It’s full of descriptive writing and painted a great picture in my head. I did love the title as it’s so true isn’t it. We all want to zone out at times.
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to reading your next blog. Have you got an idea for a new story. Keep up the fabulous writing.

Thank you Alison, I do have a few new story ideas but I need to think a bit more about them before I write them.
