In my creative writing class we had an exercise where we had to write a story about something that could never happen but make the realistic part so real that it didn't sound so impossible. Here's my attempt (keep in mind that I need to work on being more descriptive).
In the one, lonely house on Birch street there lives an old lady whose only companion is a dog with three legs. Now you may feel bad for this poor, old woman but if you ever ask her if she was lonely, she would proudly say, "No, that dog is all the company I need. He's done more things than any person I know. Although, I think he stretches the truth some times".
She loves listening to his tall tales and picturing herself right there beside him. However, the tale she loves most is about how this dog was able to go to college by pretending to be a seeing eye dog. "It's nice that even animals can go to college", she states with motherly affection. "The one about how he lost his leg in Vietnam always brings tears to my eyes. If he was my dog back then I would have taken better care of him." She loves that dog with all her heart and soul.
That's all, what do you think?
