Today’s Prompt: Write a post based on the contrast between two things — whether people, objects, emotions, places, or something else.
Today’s twist: write your post in the form of a dialogue.
I sit on the couch watching a car snake across my television screen. As I am drawn in by the movie, my finger is drawn into my mouth. My teeth tear at skin, flesh, and nail alike.
Inner Voice: What are you doing? Why is your finger in your mouth? I thought you wanted to grow your nails.
Me: I'm just cleaning up a hangnail. I'm just evening out a ragged nail, removing some dead skin. My nails are still growing. I am not letting myself down.
Inner Voice: Take your finger out of your mouth!
Me: But I'm not doing anything really.
Inner Voice: Take your finger out of your mouth!
Me: Ok
I remove the finger from my mouth and begin to pick at my thumb with the nail of my middle finger.
Reflection on Day 7: This is a real, daily battle for me :( Disgusting, I know. I'm working on it.
