#writing task

So I'm meant to be writing something for my short story class about a fantasy figure. The idea is to write about them and convince someone that they're real (like go into them having holes in their socks, the toothpaste they use, etc in 200 words). I thought I'd try it with Jason Todd, only I don't think this is that the tutor wants. So I'm going to go back and try again, and you guy get this cut version.

He was a lot more silent than expected. When looking at this man who was well over six foot and broad you didn’t expect him to be as silent or quick as he was. One moment the end of the alleyway was open and the next his silhouetted figure was there. Held in one hand was a book, possibly something by Jane Austen by what could be seen of the cover, his fingers threaded through the pages and marking them for him to go back to. In the other was a gun. He was not the first to work with Batman and use alternative methods of subduing criminals, but he was the first that had used lethal force especially in those early days for his time in Gotham. 

He was in his newer outfit, the one that looked like the best to wear during the heat of summer. Even in the limited light, scars could be seen over his upper arms. Some looked like they came from bullets. Others from some kind of blade. His boots were scuffed at the toe, giving the impression that he often dragged his feet or that they had been used in some other way, potentially kicking someone he was fighting, and they had come in contact with something that wasn’t soft, like a human body. It was his face though that drew everyone's attention. While his hood was up, domino mask was on and his lower face covered in his half mask, it was still easy to see the annoyance that was on his face. His annoyance over being interrupted while reading. 

Send me a number and a character, celebrity, fandom, face claim, etc. (or multiple!) and they’ll tell you about their favorite...

The holidays were difficult for Amos. While he wanted to spend them with his younger sister, he also never wanted to be home. He could get off during the summer. She was preoccupied with her tutors and tended to be feeling better during the summer, so could play with friends now and then. During the winter, however, she was often stuck inside, her health diminishing. Her body always took a toll from it, and so while she was often bedridden, Amos wanted to stay with her. He never knew how much longer she had. 

Abigail was lonely, and he tried to help with that, but it was hard. It was so hard for him to be here, at home. It hadn’t gotten better over the years, but it had become easier to bite down. None of them had gone into his brother’s room in years. His mother’s painting studio was a place that they couldn’t even walk past. So while he sat with Abigail, talked with her, watched as she fell asleep, he slowly maneuvered his way down to the sitting room. The fireplace was crackling, casting a comforting glow on the room, and Amos watched it. The large Christmas tree sat in the corner, twinkling from the fire’s light, presents upon presents stacked on each other. Andromeda and Ted would make their round to the manor tomorrow, but for now, Amos was left to his thoughts. 

It was a year ago, now. A year ago when everything changed. A second home destroyed and relationships transformed into something... more.
