When I first saw the box, I didn’t care. I thought it was one of mum’s silly gifts to get me to go outside. At first I didn’t wanna open it, I didn’t give a single hellyon. But…as I continued to play. I thought ‘why not just open it?’ I mean..It was in my way.
I hesitated.. I was feeling a mix of emotions run through my body. I slowly but firmly grabbed the box and started to reveal what was beyond the box. To my surprise it was a….3 legged dog?
I was mad. I was furious, It reminded me of me. Out of all dogs, she brought one exactly like me? I threw it on the floor because again I didn’t give a single hellyon. The dog didn’t care, it looked up at me and started running widely.
I watched it limp and struggle to run, but still had so much fun. This led me to a thought…’hmm?’ if the dog didn’t care. Then why should I? I mean we are the same? I felt a little spark in me lighten up.
I picked up the dog and looked at the door, flashbacks started to flood into my head, reminding me of how I couldn’t walk , but thinking back to the dog if he didn’t care then neither should I , I Slowly grabbed my crutches and my tennis ball that lay beside me , I got up glanced at the door and walked towards outside , as I was outside I feel the need to thank my mom if it wasn’t for her , I would have never came out ………
This is so great Eve. You have put in a lot of effort to really embrace the character and identify with what they were feeling. You smashed it.
