The Discharge

Prompt: Begin or end with the sentence: 

"He stepped into the morning light." 

(No time limit)

     His wife was with him in the hospital. His sons and daughters visited him from time to time with their kids. He could not speak nor move from his bed anymore. A urinary catheter hung next to him. The term, "pancreatic cancer" must have been something he barely heard of before. Despite his wife's zealous prayers, which saved him from the casualties of the Vietnam War according to his wife's belief, he knew his time has come.

     Recovering his Korean name from the Japanese, the Korean War that took his father's life away, the face of my grand mother in her youth, the ups and downs of his mining industry, allowing my father to study abroad in the United States, or perhaps even me at the age of 9, who refused to kiss him on his cheek, despite of my father's coaxing in the hospital; God knows what flashed before my grand father when he drew his last breath that night?

He stepped out into the morning light.

Prompt Exercise 1: "The Door Snapped Shut"

The following is from a prompt exercise I wrote in class for 10 minutes.

Prompt: Begin or finish with the following sentence: The door snapped shut.

The door snapped shut.

He was free now. The flight was going to be long, and the break was going to be too short.

The thoughts of seeing his familly, petting his dog, drinking with his friends all night, and being totally immune to any forms of stress for 2 weeks were overwhelming.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year" kept ringing in his ear.

Indeed, the shutting of the door signalled the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year.

"The next time that door snaps shut, however, will mean something very different," he thought.

Moment of Truth

"Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge.

You may not know the hardships people don't speak of.

It's best to step back and observe with couth.

For we all must meet our moment of truth."
