Exercise
#1
Write
down three things that are physically impossible. Now set that list aside and
write a fake diary entry about the most ordinary boring day.
1.
rising from the dead
2.
teleportation
3.
mind reader
Today was a quiet day. There was tea and
movies and rain. I didn’t cook. I did shower. I forgot to read the mail even
though I peered into the mailbox. I ate chocolate covered almonds and didn’t go
to work. Got a carwash, filled up the tank. Wished the sun would set and tried
to sleep. Wrote this.
Now,
get that list. Choose one of the impossible things. Rewrite the journal entry
as a person who (fortunately or unfortunately) has the impossible power/ability
you chose.
Today was a quiet day
There was tea and movies and rain
and everyone was thinking so loud through
it all.
I didn’t cook, felt the recipes would be too
much for me
I did shower, a quiet soggy reprieve.
There are memories and sounds that live
inside walls that you can’t hear and wouldn’t want to.
I am cursed.
I forgot to read the mail even though
my mind peered into the mailbox, through
the envelopes.
I ate chocolate covered almonds
and didn’t go to work-
too loud.
I got a carwash.
The man in the car behind me is worried
about rotting fruit,
how the rain will leave the hood with
streaks.
The kid pumping my gas misses the kid who
broke it off,
wants a raise.
I wished the sun would set so I could try
to sleep.
Wrote this,
heard it all.
