show, don’t tell

the boy was sad.

thoughts raced through the boys head – but none of those, not one was a resolution to his sadness. he lay on his bed staring at the black ceiling with the planets spinning, but he knew they weren’t. just like he knew his dreams would never come true.

the dog wanted to go for a walk.

i sat on my bed with my owners blankets snug around me and although i was snoozing, i knew everything that was going on. the baby in the highchair eating potatoes which i did not like, and the teenager watching the tv a little too loud and my owner walking toward the laundry where she kept the leash.. we were going exploring?! “Wanna go for a walk?’ boy oh boy here we go!
