Daily writing prompt

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

View all responses

The daily prompt asks what I would do if I lost all my possessions. The notion is not unappealing, because much of my belongings represents clutter. I hope that if I lost all my possessions, I would still have the clothes on my back. Otherwise, the first thing I would do is hide, because I’m very shy. The second thing I would do is find a way to cover myself up. Perhaps, find a barrel that I could wear. In my neighborhood there are plenty of garbage cans available too. Once my appearance was decent, I would return to my writing, free of the distractions of having stuff. My first story? “The man in the barrel.”
