This microfiction story is for the prompt "turn your head". It reminds me of individuals who are in the hospital due to car accidents. Some suffer severe tragedies and don't fully realize the extent of their injuries. I relate a similar incident in my ZAPFIC50 story that's told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: Day 1871: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: turn your head. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @mariannewest's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
Light from outside the window settled on Calvin's face. He squinted, then attempted to shield himself.
Nothing. His arms were restrained.
Hearing voices, he tried to respond.
"Lie still. Don't turn your head," the doctor ordered.
Calvin realized his neck was also retracted as he slowly remembered the horrible accident.
The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.
Thanks,
