The Creative Writing Challenge for today is to write a 100-word (exactly) story using the prompt "screwdriver."
On the Hardware Aisle
My life begins! I’ve never belonged before. I’ve always been
different. But…
Finally! An end to long days of tedium observing life
and watching friends find their niche, leaving me to wonder if I ever would.
Gone are the brief moments of wild exhilaration and hope (“Will this one choose
me? He’s smiling and studying me from all angles. Will I finally be taken home?”)
and the sudden drop to despair (“Oh, his gaze is wandering! He’s picking another!”)
But this one picked me! He wanted a Phillips! A toolbox of my own! My
very own carpenter!
