Writing Prompt: Burning Down the House
Your home is on fire. Grab five items (assume all people and animals are safe). What did you grab?
Photo album
Book
Computer
Journal
Wallet
If I could gather up all my photos and books, that would be the bulk of what I need. My computer cannot be left to burn. It is what I use for work and a necessary part of my writing life. My journals contain my memories written out in symbols. At least one must be saved. My wallet contains the money I will need to get a hotel room until the details are sorted out.
My keys to my car
Lockbox
Bible
My favorite blanket
My Husband’s computer “His business files” more important than mine.
Interesting question. I thought of what I would actually do and was truthful. Curious to see what others would say. Thanks for the deep thought.
I wouldn’t have time to gather books and photo album–I have far too many of each–only my latest journal, computer, and purse.
Precisely. Which is why I grumbled about only being able to take one of each of those with me.
