"Get off my lawn!"

In our creative writing class we tried something different. We started a story with one sentence and passed it to the next person. They wrote one sentence and then they passed i to the next person and so on. When I got mine back this is how it went...

The old man with the bushy mustache raises his cane up high in the air. His temper rises upon the small children who fell beneath him. The old man, dressed untidy, coughs loud and clear to get everyones attention. Somehow, no one realized he was crazy and running around naked. The children were all in shock of the sight. The old man then began to dance to "It's raining men". And then they stopped dancing. The children, so full of fear, grew horns and bat wings. They started to overwhelm the bushy freak. The man had not seen that he accidentally stepped on a button that opened up the gates of hell. Oooh nooo! How terrifying... Meanwhile in Britain: Parliament blows up and they had a big party! Inside the party, James Bond was talking with the bartender saying how cheap the wine is. The bartender made a dry reply, since it meant he wasn't getting any tips.

Wrote word from word. Seriously.

Just in Case

Just in case the worry-heavy world
Should cast a final backward glance
To whimper at what might of been

Before the horror of trumpets
Blown by indifferent angels
Burns and hails  and turns to blood
The bone breath of form
And I am not this
And you are not that
And for a moment, briefly
We all weep the same tears
And forget the too-many names of God
And all the bitter, biting ways
We clip the wings of eachothers prayers;
Just  in case
I dont see you tomarrow
My friend, my friend,
I'll see you again
Where we shall be healed.
I'll see you again.

Remember

Remember the times that you could barely remember. The times you weren't even talking nor walking. Remember the worries you didn't have or the laughs you can recall. Its hard to remember when your brain wasn't fully developed.

Remember the things you don't want to remember, all the bad times that have made you stronger. Think of them as those mistakes you learn from. Some of them might not have been mistakes, what happens then?

Really in all reality the things that we remember are who we are. With all the good things and the bad things, the emotions we have had are the ones that have shaped us; the emotions and memories are the hands that sculpted who we are.
