Yeah, it's a predictable prompt after yesterday but we're doing it anyway. Write a scene where two or more people interact but never actually speak to one another. Where yesterday we were focusing on building a relationship through words only, today try to focus on building the relationship through the world.
If you want feedback, ask for it. If someone asks for feedback, please tell them what you think.
Also, after today I'm going to be moving over to #todayswritingprompt. Update your tags.
She sat beside me on the overstuffed sofa. Her shoulders crumpled under a heavy burden, her eyes chained to the floor. If I wasn't holding her hand, she might have sunk between the cushions, beyond my grasp.
I remained silent as she told me her story. Her voice was clipped, occasionally tightening in tune with her hand. She was a shell of her former self, but I still greedily drank in her beautiful form, the faint lilt of her accent, the impossible softness of her palm.
When she finished, I opened my mouth to respond, but could not find the words. She remained still. It was only when I stood and left that I heard a soft whimper follow me out.
