365 Writing Prompt: Silver Screen

Take a quote from your favorite movie– there’s a title of your post. Now, write!

“I have often walked down the street before!”

“Sheila what are you doing here?”

She heard someone call her name, she turned around there was her friend Dorothy huffing and puffing to catch her breath.

Why it’s you Dorothy , I can ask you the same question?

Well Sheila this street reminds me of the good old days when I used to walk everyday to go to the university, they were such marvelous days. I remember Mr. Baird asked you the name of your school and you were so proud to tell him the name. Did you continue your studies, what are you doing now?

I had my teaching degree, I’m back teaching in a different school, this one is a day school, I can go home and do other things.

What happened to the other school, did you not like it?

I left that one, I had other duties besides teaching, it was a boarding school, they expected me to be present in the dining hall when the kids were eating. Frankly I felt it was a total waste of my time.

Dorothy what are you doing?I went to law school to study, I completed it,  now I’m practicing law.

That’s exciting, oh Dorothy I’m sorry I have to leave now, I promised my cousin I’ll go with her to watch a movie. It was great meeting you, all the best to you.Bye!

DP Daily Prompts: Object Lesson

Sherlock Holmes had his pipe.Dorothy had her red shoes. Batman had his Batmobile. If we asked your friends what object they immediately associate with you, what would they answer?

If you ask my friends what object they immediately associate with me, they’ll be in a state of perplexity. I do not smoke a pipe, wear red shoes or have a Batmobile. They may not like to admit they cannot associate me with any object, rather than look foolish, they’d ask you to give them some time to think it over.

In the meantime I’d face a barrage of questions like, ‘Hey Ranu what object do you have that you go out with daily?’

This very question will make me aware they’re up to something, I’d throw the question right back at them. They’ve asked for some time to think over, they didn’t get the answer from me.

They make up their mind to ask my parents, it seems impossible, my parents are not visible anymore, they ask my cousins, they have no idea, they see me once in a while.

They didn’t want to give up, they get in touch with one of my teachers, unfortunately for them the teacher said, “I teach my students I do not look for anything that I can associate them with,you’ve come to the wrong person, goodbye.”

The friends are tired and embarrassed, they do not want to accept defeat, one of them said, “We associate her with her, “Smile!”
