So, when my brain is otherwise engaged in things that aren't my school work, this happens. Random bits and bobs of stories. But if I actually finished one it might be nice. Just type whatever comes to my mind and bits and bob's your uncle!
So... here's a random excerpt from a story in my head.
Random Excerpt From A Story In My Head
“Cut the racket,” Jim said to me, “Quit your pretentious babbling and work like the rest of us.” For all of two seconds I thought he might have been serious, but then I remembered he was Jim—Jim was never serious. Sure enough, he soon broke into a grin he’d obviously been trying to suppress. “C’mon, Regina, like I don’t want to hear you talk politics. Everyone loves to hear you talk politics!” He yelled sarcastically, laughing.
“Well, I’m sorry you don’t care about our nation’s government, Jim, I really am,” I parried easily, “But some of us might be bothered by national collapse! When America reaches its ultimate downfall, I’d at least like to know why.”
“I care! Of course I do. I just don’t think I can take anymore of you talking about it is all… you’re so unbelievably biased.”
“I—I…Alright, I am. But I’m also right.”
“Oh, always,” he snickered, “You’ve never been wrong.”
“I don’t like your tone, sir!”
“I don’t like that we aren’t playing yet!” Tom interjected.
“Then do something about it.” I challenged, squinting at him.
“I think I will!” He turned the volume up on his amp and began plucking a G note on his bass. It sounded moderately feeble and delicate without the accompaniment of drums and guitar. Jim and I instantly started laughing. “What? What?!”
“Nothing, Tom.”
“What?”
“Let’s just play the song.” As I said it, I slammed my foot down on the kick drum.
“Keep doing that,” Jim directed suddenly, “I have an idea.”
EL FIN.
So... just thought I would share that with you, just in case all the school-related posts were getting on your nerves.
