The Secret Life of School Supplies

Write a flash fiction story from the perspective of a piece of school equipment such as a blackboard, microscope or textbook.

This whimsical prompt asks you to personify an inanimate object and imagine what life might look like from a vastly different perspective. What does the object see? How does it feel about its role? This exercise encourages creativity, exploration of perspective, and development of empathy for the underappreciated.
