First Short Story

A box containing an assortment of objects was placed in front of us. Our first writing exercise! Sue Thomas left the room, and asked us to write for 15 minutes something relating to the box and/or its contents. Here are the words what i wrote :

"The time it took for the girl with the skates to become Roller Girl was not a short one. A transition of sorts of comparable magnitude and length had occurred in her life previously but she didn't like to talk about it. So I won't.

The skates had belonged to who we don't know. The girl had belonged to no-one and was adamant she never would. Maybe this is why the bond between her and the wheels became so strong. A symbol of freedom, an ability to roll. To roll away from Glen Galla and his damn obsession with army style stencils. There was no way he was going to tag these eight wheeled babies. Free wheeling, thats what she was."

Kinda felt like more text when i was writting but hey.
