I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

do you have to use that prompt? He won't understand it, I don't think. Can you ask him to write an essay about a situation he misunderstood? that might be easier.
That's a good one to try. I think I ended up asking him to tell a story about himself that allowed the reader to know him better. Less complex all around. Anytime I give him a writing prompt, I find I have to explain around it more clearly. It's difficult to teach personal narrative and personal memoir to a kid for whom the emotional side of situations are entirely opaque.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What Jessica Said.
If the beekeepers do a dance off, it has to involve a bunch of butt-wiggling (the twerking of the apian world).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Many happy returns, erika!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, erika!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday erika!
