SeeWorld by jim vecchio 100 Word Story writing prompt entry |
Abel’s mother, Anna, placed him in a facility “dedicated” to “assisting” individuals like her autistic son. Anna believed her son would display talent and find a place for himself in society. To that end, she discovered “facilitated communication”. A letterboard (some, mockingly, called it a “Ouija Board”) was utilized; eventually she discovered the “SeeWorld” he and others shared, communicating nonverbally.

To Anna, Abel’s painting was the most desirable of all!
