Final Exams - A Story Told In 50 Words
Final Exam
By T. Dalton
Eunsol cried like a bird with a broken wing. Her words fell out between gasps, syllables broken and chopped.
Teacher Yang caught her cheating and grabbed her by the ear, dragging her to the teacher’s office.
“If I fail, they’ll beat me,” Eunsol cried. “What was I supposed to do?”

This fifty word short is part of the weekly 50 word competition, currently hosted by @jayna. Each week is a new prompt. This week, the prompt was "wing". Join the fun here.
That poor child, destined to suffer in every way. His “wings” were capped and had nowhere way to fly out. Anyways, he ain’t no birdie so he ain’t light enough to fly away. Now he’s destined to fall from grace and feel all the tortures he’ll get. That poor child.
Wow, this whole 50 word tasker is a fun one. Anyways real neat and dark post yah got there. Hope to see more of them.
Interesting . Really a good writing. I also write a story about my class test story when i am at class 11 .
Nicely done, @dirge! You definitely captured a full story, including a story arc, with this one.
thanks
Sound like a beating either way because they did not study. Now days they go so high tech for catching cheaters on final exams. A couple of colleges around here put out fake answers, use cameras, and study the exam results to try and catch circles of cheaters. Kind of crazy if “to many score high” they think people are cheating. Granted it is kind of funny they seed fake answers and catch cheaters that way.
I’ve never understood it myself. If you put in the work you really should not have to worry about a thing. I guess some people just focus to much on trying make a sure thing.
sometimes children aren't able to study because of psychological issues, brought on by violence and abuse. this leads them to make, what to an outsider can appear like an extremely poor decision.
true but the beatings for getting caught cheating tend be far worse then just brining home bad grades or failure. People don't want get involved and as such a cry out like that will go unoticed.
