100 Word Essay

Rebekah Ray

One-hundred words… “Impossible,” you say. “Nay,” I reply. Skills


are required: patience, discipline, knowledge, creativity. Easy tasks never were
friends of mine. “Give me a challenge,” is my distressed cry. Hours stolen
from leisurely relaxation; consumed instead with endless subject shifting,
vocabulary scavenging, preposition replacing toils. Once, twice, thrice.
“Third time’s the charm,” so it goes. Let us only hope. Tired yet? Don’t be.
We’re over halfway through this solicitous commission. Sunshine beamed
across glass panes at our beginning, now different light passes in. Blue,
silver, and white, but still bright. Light-hearted laughter has been replaced by
deep-breathing. Sleep overtakes body, mind… I’m gone.
