Lucy got fired in her job as a waitress in a nearby restaurant. She and her boss had an argument when one of the customers said that the food was not that good. Lucy then went to tell the chef about the comment but she was scolded by him. The chef told her to tell the customer to just get out of the restaurant and eat somewhere else. She argued with the chef, telling him that chefs have to respect criticisms of customers and learn from them. Her boss was the best friend of the chef so both of them argued as well. It was hard for Lucy to swallow her pride so she resigned from her work.
When she got home, her grandmother was waiting for her. She cried and told her mother everything. Her grandma then told her that she just had to move on from the situation. But Lucy was so devastated because she was humiliated at that time. Her grandma then found a way to bring back her confidence.
The grandmother went to her room to get an old book. It contains all the recipes that she used to cook before for Lucy’s mom. She then called Lucy but before they even started COOKING, she first went outside to get the ingredients as Lucy sat down in the kitchen, waiting for her. After half an hour, her grandmother went back with a bag of goodies. They started cooking. Lucy’s grandmother then saw happiness in Lucy’s eyes. She thought that Lucy just lacks enthusiasm in herself so it was her time to do something.
Her grandmother then called for all of Lucy and her friends to join them for dinner. At night, everyone arrived and was excited to taste the dishes the Lucy made. Lucy welcomed the guests from friends to the neighborhood. She was getting nervous as she saw their faces in their CPS. She’s the kind of girl that gets scared when people are so attached to their phones. She feels like she’s not that fun to be with. But then her grandmother said that once they tasted the dishes, they will throw their phones and start talking to her.
Even though Lucy was not herself since she hasn’t done cooking before, she has faith on her grandmother. When the guests started tasting the dishes, they were all delighted by it. Everyone’s happiness made Lucy cry in tears. Her confidence is back. And so was her joy.
The night is full of surprises. Some were on cloud nine. Laughter was heard everywhere. Lucy saw her friends LAUGHING OUT LOUD which made her feel the relief she’s finding ever since she got fired on her job. She thought that it was the sign that she needed.
Lucy then went to her grandmother thanking her for everything. Her motivation to “never give up in life just because someone tells you so” got back. Her grandmother answered her, “I’ll do anything for my little girl.”
As the night went on, everyone was interrupted by the news that was heard from the television.
“2 Grown Men were found dead in a restaurant in our town earlier today. Both men were chopped to death and the police assumed that the killer is an experienced cook because the body was cut like meat in restaurants. No trace was found in the scene.”
Lucy’s eye widened. She then turned around to her grandmother.
“Grandma, what did you do?”
You wrote an interesting story. It would have been even better if you would have not written the last sentence.
You used all words but I miss the part where Lucy motivates herself! Lucy does nothing once back home besides crying, her grandmother does tell her what to do.
You also did not set a timer and this is the most important aspect of free writing. You write within a limit of minutes and let your thoughts run free! You write what you think about self-motivation while you use the 3 words.
Feel free to try/practice again and do not forget to use Grammarly.
