5-Minute FreeWrite: "Bark Chips"
Bark Chips
It was the same voice again. Molly cried so loud that the other children on the playground stopped for a moment to look at her.
Again, it was Jack who caused the poor girl's misery. He just couldn't help himself. He loved teasing and annoying Molly. Before the loud outburst, Jack poured a small bucket of bark chips on Molly's head whilst she was quietly playing with My Little Pony dolls.
Molly, whilst crying, said (or probably was trying to say), "Now, there are lots of bark chips in the dollhouse."
Mrs. V intervened and suggested to Jack, "You can help Molly clean up the mess and get rid of all the bark chips in the dollhouse. And please stop annoying Molly, okay?"
Jack replied, "All right."
Jack picked up a few bark chips and threw them at Nate. Nate chased him and threw some at him. This back-and-forth of chasing and throwing of bark chips at each other became a fun game for both boys.
At some stage, Molly stopped crying, left the dollhouse and followed the boys. "Stop doing that. You're not meant to throw things," Molly said to the boys.
"Poo poo head!" retorted Jack and he laughed hysterically. Nate did not laugh. Instead, he held Molly's hand, and said, "Come on, let's just leave him."

I love how the story ended with Nate and Molly. :-)
Haha! Yes, me too. I didn't even plan that there would be a "Nate" in the story. If I can get to write every day, I wonder how the story will evolve.
Isn't it wonderful, when characters take over the story, or the story itself starts to dictate how the words will flow? ahhh, there's nothing like being a writer! :-)
That's true. In the case of my story, if it weren't for the previous prompt, ornate, there wouldn't be another character. Or it might have been a different name. 😆
Nice story
Thank you.
Seems like Jack was in search for attention and didn't know well how to manifest his desire to make contact with other children.
