Merry Christmas! As we kick off December, I’ll have two themes for my blog this month. Monday Sparks will be Christmas writing prompts, and Thursdays will be reposts of my most popular blogs from the past seven years. Today’s prompt is to complete this Christmas scene. I’ll start the scene below and then I need you to add what the boy sees out the window in the comments.
Could Christmas break get any more boring?
I laid on the floor with my feet on the couch.
I’d never guessed spending the whole day by myself would make me so bored that school was looking okay.
I glanced at my phone.
Mom would be home in an hour. Maybe she wouldn’t be too tired to do something with me. Could I live that long?
I sat up and climbed onto the couch and looked out the window. Rain poured down. Like it had at breakfast, and at lunch (If I’d eaten lunch. A container of Oreos probably didn’t count), and now at supper.
The houses outside all looked empty. Everybody was probably at work, and their kids were at friends’ houses having tons of fun.
An old car drove into our cul-de-sac. It must have been somebody who got lost. None of our neighbors owned a car like that.
The driver got out.
I gasped.
