Reflection

I was always a curious girl since I was little and a very sick one too. Sometimes my curiosity would get me in trouble but I never thought it would lead to this. I’ve never been outside, not because of my sickness.  It's because of my face, I was "not normal" as my mom would say. I would always find the answer to everything I asked myself except one question. I wonder what was behind the door? I just had to do it, I had to go outside to say hi to the passing girls but when they saw me they screamed. It was a rainy day and I saw a puddle I looked down and saw my reflection for the first time ever.

    Mai,
    Thank you for your piece. The narrator reminded me a bit of Auggie from Palacio's Wonder. Are you familiar with that author's work?
    Keep writing.

    I was thinking the same thing as Mrs .G. and was going to ask you the same thing. I also loved the way you used the prompt it was very different.

The Gifts From The Trees

In a peaceful forest, there is a long forgotten tribe, the Wukutuka. Every year, the Wukutuka has a feast to celebrate what the gods have given them and how much the trees have granted the tribe. Every year the tradition is for the grateful chief to go into the woods to cut a piece of the oldest tree of the forest and add it to the Ball Of Wisdom. He says a prayer to God to ask for luck and more wisdom for the year. Then he takes his hand and places it on the ball to say thank you.

The Witch's Curse - 100 Word Challenge

Once long ago there was a town, and they had the best fruits ever.  But the question was which one there was the best. Three fruits were grown in town and they were strawberries oranges and apples.  They were run by a goat, yack, and horse. One day a witch was in town for a vacation and heard that there are the best fruits in the world here. So she went to the supermarket.  The three fruit sellers had an argument that turned into a food fight. The witch got her fancy broomstick all covered in fruits. So she cursed the three into stones and they lay there forever.
