It had its tight grip on me. Intoxicating. Draining me of thought, creativity, meaning. It started the moment the bell rang to release us from the nine months of schedule. The moment we were turned over to become the victims of a tedium three months. When will it all end?

I absolutely love this.
Depite the pessimistic view, which for some reason I adore, it's perfect for my contest prompt.
It makes every word have a meaning, and it's precise and dramatic.
It's perfect, and for some reason, I love where you took it. The view on the uncoming summer the way you made it was original to me.
Great work
Thank you so much for entering my contest, and I wish you the best of luck!

oooh come on!!!
summer is amazing!!! try shampooing your hair and making fruit slushies (or cook anything else for that matter).
that usually brings my creativity in a snap!!!
try being more positive! for the sad, every day is pathetic, but for the cheerful, every day is a BLESSING!!!
i liked how you wrote it anyways, you've got talent
