Wankage #01: Gentle/Ungentle

I haven't written anything in a long time. This is an exercise from Writer's Unblock; it's also 100 words (not counting the prompt).

PROMPT: Tell of Ghandi's first bicycle ride where a riot is erupting. The wind howls through the trees; men are selling their children to gypsies, while time drips by in this infernal place.


The boy is twelve when he rides his bicycle down to the well. There are gypsies there, filthy and unkempt, and they cuss and spit and piss on the side of the road.

The men from the village drag their girls to the market by the hair. Dark eyes on dark skin; they stare at the boy while they go.

The well water tastes like earth. The boy gets off his bicycle and offers the handles to the smallest girl of the lot. She does not reply; her eyes are miles away.

The boy leaves and does not look back.




A/N: The riot has been omitted because I forgot about it. :D
