Writing prompt: What would you put in a time capsule for your life?
I would put in a box full of adhesive eye patches, a pair of kindergartener-sized crutches, then nothing for five years since I can’t remember anything except for small snapshots of me in pictures. I look like I’m having an OK time so I’ll take Polaroid’s word for it.
I need two weeks to do nothing and to be left totally alone. Even though I would get all frustrated because I would want to accomplish a million things and would instead spend the first day in bed eating desserts and watching 80s Rob Lowe movies and then after the first six hours, I would be so bloated and tired from pigging out and sad because I could never look like Ally Sheedy in Oxford Blues or Demi Moore in St. Elmo’s Fire or the chick who played Cherry Valance in the Outsiders that I would sink into a pit of despair. I mean a deeper one than normal.
