Hi,
I just participated in Creative Writing Prompt Challenge on www.writetodone.com (http://goo.gl/tdZvYj)
It's about coming up with up a mini-story of about 350 words for the given picture. Thought of sharing my mini story on my blog.

Ignored, useless, Junk…
There is nothing harder in life than being forgotten by your
loved ones. It kills you from within. I never thought this could happen to me. I
used to be his favorite toy ever since he was little. I was his favorite
birthday gift. While the rest of the world called me by the label name, he was
the one who gave me a new name, a new life.
I used to wait all day long for him to get back from school.
I knew all his secrets and we were the best buddies of all time. But now, it’s
all gone. He is no more a kid, and we
are no longer friends. He has new friends to share new secrets and the worst
part was watching all this alone from the top of a shelf. I never took my eyes
away from him, longed so
much for a little talk and waited for years.
Now, I don’t even know whether he
remembers my name. I couldn’t take it anymore and there was no life left in my
batteries. All my weird imaginations pushed me to the edge. I decided to leave.
It was on
his birthday. The room was filled with thoughts. The new gifts reminded me once
again that it’s not a place for an old piece of junk like me. I looked down
from the shelf. And, I jumped.
Just like
my heart, my body parts were shattered all over the room. Everything looked vague,
I waited for the maid to throw me into the trash, but a foot came rushing
towards me. It was him. His hand lifted me up; his face glanced at the
shattered pieces and He turned back towards me. There was a pause… tears rolled
down his eyes. I have never seen him like this.
“Eddy, my
best buddy”, he called my name.
“What have I
done?”
