This is a contest entry about a point of view short story. Guess my object! |
It is so warm crammed inside this box. I am waiting to break out! I have been here for so long. This plastic covering is suffocating my eyes. The dark is seemingly darker. I feel immobolized, so stiff. What am I doing here? I feel so weak. Will I ever get out? Wait... I feel movement. What's that? Is it true? Will I soon be free? Hours pass by, or has it been just minutes? My internal clock is shut off. I feel... I feel more free! Something is happening. The plastic is moving. Am I being released? I feel clammy hands on my petite body. Why can't I see or speak? All I see is black darkness. Beep beep. Whoa! I felt a bolt of energy surge through my entire body. Light! I can see now! So many things to see! So many colors! Even black and white! Now it is time to do what I was programmed to do. I was made for only one purpose. Click click. What a beautiful picture! Such vibrant colors! My first shot was great! I am so proud of my capabilities! But, since I am the advanced model, there is room for modifications. Red eye removal... done! And...save to my internal memory. Done! Whoa! I hear voices. That must be my video recording in action. Of course I can make great video clips! I feel so alive now! So glad to be out of that tiny, crammed box. But wait... What's happening? I am starting to feel sleepy. I am now slowing down. I feel a slight tugging. Now I am hanging from my owner's hand by a bracelet. I feel imprisoned. I guess it is time for a nap now. Beep beep. Turn off. Did you figure out what I was? I'm the newest digital camera on the market! |
