The GBE2 writing prompt challenged me to write a bit of fiction or an essay using only one syllable words. This is my submission. I hope you enjoy it!
She cracked the egg. She could only have one. She longed for more. She grabbed the dry toast. Screw it! It was a whole piece, not a half. Who would toast only a half? She poured her juice and took her pill. Her plate looked bare. She ate.
The egg, toast, and juice were gone too fast. Where did it all go? The hours stretched out till lunch, and then they stretched some more to the next meal. She weighed again and sighed. The scale read the same as the last time. She sighed once more. Why won’t the weight drop as fast as it was gained? I know, the scale must be junk! Time for a new scale!
