ESCRITURA CREATIVE: PARTE 3

PERFECT

Everyday objects are always there, at our service. Perfect in their simplicity, they always work, and we have become accustomed to their humble effectiveness. But what would happen if one of these objects decided, outraged by its working conditions, to go on strike and stop working? What would be the consequences of its protest on our lives? What are the conditions that make this object protest?

Warm-Up

1.      Have you ever participated in a strike?

2.      Are there many strikes in your country?

3.      What do you think about strikes?

4.      What about student strikes?

You should write a story that should start as follows: "one day, I want to use an object, but it does not work."

The toothbrush, for example, hides its bristles. The toothpaste doesn't come out of the tube even if it jumps on it. The key doesn't close, the fork refuses to prick, the umbrella doesn't open, or it opens but moves around, dodging the water drops to get you wet. What would happen, what would be the consequences?

The story has to end when the protagonist finds a little note in which the object explains why he has decided to go on strike. You must also write the contents of the note.
