Excited to participate in Vivian Kirkfield’s “50 Precious Words” writing challenge, I looked out my window for inspiration. I thought of all the windows people are looking out of right now — both familiar to them, and strange — and all that may be in the viewers’ hearts.
I had to choose just one imaginary window, so here is what I wrote and drew:
Look!

School break.
Meridith is going to Mexico.
Vikram to Vermont.
But I’m going NOWHERE.
Mama opens the blinds. “Beautiful day! Look, that cloud is a boat!”
I don’t want to, but I look.
“Ok… I see a dragon.”
Wait… it IS a dragon!
Summer in my city might be AMAZING!
It was hard to choose just one of so many possible windows — but after all, the 50-words challenge is about thinking big while working small!
And perhaps I will visit some more imaginary windows soon!
