Day 4
Imagine that your protagonist has just turned into a statue. Describe his or her thoughts.
Here we go:
"It seemed like one of those dreams, when you feel like your going to work or to school and all of sudden, right in some crowded place you realize that you forgot to put your clothes on. That's really embarrassing. Still, one way or another you never would do such a thing, that's how you know you're still sleeping. But that day he felt different.
Firstly, his movements started to slow down. Before he could say anything, ask for help or something, he was frozen already. He tried so hard to scream, to move, to cry. Useless. He was totally frozen and there was nothing he could do about it. He calmed down and tried to remember how he got in that condition. It felt like he was a prisoner in his own body. He tried to reach his senses. It was completely dark, he wondered why he didn't stayed with his eyes wide open while he felt he was becoming frozen. He at least would be able to see where he was or to understand what just happened. What about the ears? He tried to hear anything. Nothing. Then he realize that he could smell something. He remembered when he was a little child. Every time he had a fall his mother took care of his wound and she always used the same medicine. That's it! He was smelling a medicine. It should give him a clue where he was. A hospital maybe. But why? He struggled really hard to remember and realized the last thing he was doing was driving home and something caught his attention. That road had a blinking light every kilometer or so and they had just been installed there. It was the first time he was seeing it. He slowed down a bit to see what was that and as soon as he figured that it was just an emergency phone a huge truck appeared right in front of his car. It had no lights, no warning signal, nothing. It was just there where it shouldn't be. It was too late he couldn't brake nor swerve. But he knew he was alive, he knew he was a survivor. From that moment till the day he recovered his body functions he couldn't figure out how many days, months or years had passed since he was turned into a statue. But all the time he stayed frozen he kept remembering himself: 'Always drive on the road with high lights on'. "
That's it, I'm very grateful for your corrections.
