The midday sun beat down on the cracked asphalt of the schoolyard. Ethan slumped on the worn bench, his worn copy of "Treasure Island" offering little escape from the heat or the dull ache of loneliness. Across the way, a group of four boys, their laughter echoing like taunts, tossed a beat-up basketball between them. Each perfect swish and playful shove seemed to amplify Ethan's isolation. He traced a worn line on the cover of his book, a longing twisting in his gut. Write about what happens next. Does Ethan remain invisible, or does something unexpected break the silence?
