Alright, I found a second writing prompt today. The prompt was to Write about an empty glass.

“That’s the last of it,” she told herself as she set the now empty glass on the table. She sat there a few moments eating the crumbs that remained on the plate, savoring each morsel, wishing she could have more.

Soon, even the crumbs had been eaten and she realized she was running out of time. She needed to be out of there within thirty minutes. She could not be late again, or she would be in trouble.

Leaving her dirty dishes on the table, she took a quick shower and threw on some wrinkled clothes. She quickly pulled her hair into a ponytail while she rushed around the apartment searching for her shoes. Each time she passed the kitchen, she noticed the empty dishes, reminding her she was still hungry. Finally, she retrieved her shoes, which had been kicked under the bed, and slid them on her feet.

Passing the kitchen one last time, she hurriedly cleared her dishes on the way out. A glance at the clock sent her running out the door, only to return. She’d left her bag on the couch. As she slung her backpack over one shoulder, her stomach growled reminding her she needed her to pick up another gallon of milk and a box of poptarts after class.

Once again, it obviously would’ve been better if I’d spent more time on it(or proofread it…), but I’m just trying to practice writing about random topics not necessarily making it perfect each time.

This one didn’t end up very long, and didn’t really end up being about the glass, but I think it still counts. When I started I was going to really make it about someone who was starving and didn’t have any food. Then I decided to switch to a college student who had forgotten to pick up their “groceries” :)
