@sydroc started to use the prompt as an inspiration for a drawing. You all are invited to do the same.
Since our Freewrite community is growing, we decided to revive our Freewrite Discord for Freewriters to hang out, talk to each other, and have some fun. I am offering the Freewrite Prompt on several platforms - not everyone is going to be on Hive.

Writing help
A free app: Grammarly. A lot of us are not native English speakers and I am finding it a helpful app. It will underline spelling and grammar mistakes. Just remember that is is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. Here is the link
Remember The Most Dangerous Writing App. You set the time - 5 min - and start typing. Don’t stop!!! It will destroy what you wrote if you stop for more than 3 seconds - and backspace does not count as writing on the app. If you are prone to stop and think - this app forces you to keep going. You can make corrections after the 5 minutes are over.
A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link
I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. [10 fast fingers](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english

Always grateful for the prompts, they're a great way to start the writing day.
Hello , my entry for today:

Darkening shades of gray
There was a glass of water. It wasn't completely filled. I was being asked if it was half empty or half full. Considering my options, I had quickly discarded both of those. "It's half a glass of water". They'd insist, and so would I. Next to us, a crying child, terrified for the loss of both parents to a serial killer, wouldn't stop punching me. Somehow they always do it whenever they see me, so that actually wasn't worrying.
The detectives who were trying to get something out of me wanted to arrest me for the death of this kid's parents. Apparently, the killer asks their victims if the glass is half empty or half full. Whoever answers half full ends up dead. I just so happen to know for a fact that child's parents were full of hope towards his future.
Nice plot :)
Yikes! That's a lot in a small space! Well done!
