RWDrabble 2.0.068: “No word”
Twister: “base your story on the image”
Roland gazed eastward, waiting for the sun to peek over the horizon. His job was to herald its rising and proudly he puffed out his chest at having such a role.
As the first golden rays appeared, Roland inhaled deeply and threw his head back … but no words emanated from his throat … just silence where a loud majestic “cock-a-doodle-doooooooo” was supposed to be.
He tried again — not a sound. How ego shattering for the top cock in the fowl yard. He hung his head limply and hoped he could manage to announce the sun setting.
