Mahalia Saint-Eloi

Write a creative story responding to the prompt: “If someone were to step into your soul right now, what’s the story?” It can be fiction or nonfiction.

If someone were to step in my soul they’d be in a field of dandelions. The sun is shining bright and there’s quiet, not a single sound. Then all of a sudden the clouds turn gray and it starts pouring. You try to run inside but realize there is nowhere to go, you only see the field. You crouch down and all of a sudden the scene changes. You’re now standing in the girl’s bedroom but it didn’t even look like a bedroom. Books all over the floor, papers crumbled, windows are tinted grey. The whole room is upside down. The person realizes that this room represents this girl’s life and all her emotions cramped up in one room. The person says this girl is broken-no not broken, she doesn’t like to describe herself in that way, she’s just not that “all the time happy” girl she used to be.
