This is a more freeform freewrite. These are finger stretching freewrites and are not necessarily supposed to make sense, but since here is where I wrote it, here it where it will stay. If you are trying to create on of these, just sit down and write whatever comes to mind, whatever words come to the fore as soon as they come to you and then you will come up with something like I got tonight:

The world was still, breathless filled in an instant and then left it more silent then ever before. On the barren landscape she stood, looking longing into the expanse, like nothing every happened like nothing will ever happen, which it won't. You see the fact it that the truth it boring. No, they really are trying to do the right thing and yes you might be wrong and no there is no one coming after you. You are alone, nobody cares and that is the end of it. What then should you say to those loathingly selfish masses that sit amoung themselves muttering contempt, whispering supposed plots and schemes, what then is there hope to tell them? Nothing? Well then, that is rather boring, but then again, that is the fact: the truth is boring. What then will you do, will you try and help them, break you back on the winds of fortune, praying to some invisible god to sift through those things that you don't want to address, you don't want to see. Talk in grim vaguaries to your fellows and say things like "Walk" and "Faith" and "Word" all with capitals and a piculear annunciation so that people know what it is that your talking about, and something that is so normal turns into a piece of jargon. "Walk" does not mean "walk", "Faith" does not mean "faith" and "Art" does not mean "art". It is this subtle elevation which makes "like" different than "like, like" and the like. I wish that I could have someone to hold and to comfort. I wish I could take care of them and they could move in small circles around me in astonded admiration. I wish then that I could put them on the shelf and forget about them. I need a tomagatchi, lol. I am going to bed.

Cicero talks - freewrite continuation
Wednesday. 9.19.07 12:30 am
Some more about the story. The original has some language, but I've edited it out for the web.

Cicero came back with Aunt Cecilia and his cousin a little after sunset. Despite his feeble protests, Aunt Cecilia had insisted that, in return for her supplies, Cicero owed her. They drove past the border and headed on through the expanse of nothingness for hours. Cicero watched the fence line roll along the side of the road, whipping back and forth relative the cars movement, just escaping lashing them by a trick of perspective. He watched a hill disappear behind them and sighed.

Cecilia pulled off onto an exit. A suburb tucked off of the road slowly came into view and Cecilia drove the car into a gas station. She got up silently and got out, locking the door as she left. Cicero waited until she was safely in the convenience store.

“Traitor,” he hissed.

“What was that?” his cousin asked mildly.

“You,” he leaned over the seat to look at him, “You could have said something.”

His cousin looked pale in the moonlight. He peeled his flesh off of the glass and looked Cicero in the eye, “You know that’s not true.”

“Yes you could have. You could have SAID something! You could have ****** nodded once or twice,” Cicero hissed, his hands balled into fists as though he was ready to hit him.

His cousin’s eyes grew cold, “You’re very funny Cicero. You know that’s my blood running through her veins right, now.”

“How was I supposed to know that she’d use you,” Cicero grunted, “You, Zion… you knew that what she wanted from me.”

“You knew, too. Frankly, I think it’ll be good for you,” Zion’s reply was even, emotionless.

“Oh? Really,” Cicero did strike him this time, but he grabbed Zion around the throat, his large hand crushing in on his cousin fragile trachea. Zion grabbed his hand feebly, fighting desperately to breath, “My life is hell. I see myself in a mirror, I can’t go outside, I can’t even have a ******* relationship. On top of that, Aunt Cecilia and Henry are trying to run my life from Wyoming and you are telling me that I should just give up? That I should just move back with them and FORGET all of that?”

He threw Zion back against the seat, the force splitting the threads and leaving a slight human shaped dent in the cushion. Zion breathed in heavily, his ribs vibrating in pain. Cecilia got back into the car.

“Really Cicero, be nice to you cousin,” she scolded.

Cicero said nothing.

She tossed a magazine in the back and fired up the car, “Don’t act like I didn’t see that. Really, Cicero, I’d think you’d be more mature.”

They pulled out of the gas station and drove home.

Dow Withers is in Antarctica
Tuesday. 9.18.07 11:26 pm
Another freewrite, same story, this time with Dow Withers.


"Hello, this is Illiad, can I speak to Dow Withers?" Illiad asked the strange woman.

"How many times do I have to tell you people," she snarled. There was a sticky pause as she popped her gum over the phone, "Dow Withers in Antarctica."

"What?! What the hell is he doing in Antarctica."


The runners hissed along the ice as the lone sled pulled futher and further away from the edge.


"YAHOO!!!!" Dow cried, sliding over a bump and landing with a crack against the ice, "Hey guys! What are we looking for down here anyway."


There was no response. As far as any onlooker could tell there was no one to talk to. Just Dow Withers and a team of six sled dogs. The dogs were fast, faster than any dog should possibly be. The distance they had covered in the last hour was something that would merit a couple of days in travel what with the distance and trying to deice the runners in the freezing weather. As it was, the runners left melted ice deep tracks as they went.

Blah, anime and more freewrites
Tuesday. 9.18.07 12:22 am
Soes, I watches de anime tonight. I saw Samurai Champloo: which was cool. It's about these guys during the Edo period running around trying to find the shogun who smells like sunflowers. No, I don't know what sunflowers smell like either. They were almost killing of this character just as I was starting to like him, so I made everyone watch the next one to see if it was okay... Then we saw Claymore "Oh? A Claymore? I never suspected that one would show up in this show!" This is an anime about this chick who is half demon half human and everyone wants to kill her but she really just wants to kick demon ass... I think something like that was going on in Dragon Knights... never quite sure. Good anime though, the kid was pretty cute! Theeeen.. Lucky Star. This was like eavesdropping on a bunch of Japanese school girls, except of course, they were always very funny. They were talking about getting back from a break and how you let all this time go by and then you're like "Shoot! I have a test when I get back." Then there was Red Garden. That was a weeeeird friggen anime. They... got bitten... but this dead guy, kinda. And then there was this woman who said they were dead and they had to... wait for her to call them to see if they were going to fight or not. I was like... "But wait, what if they don't fight?" We were all very confused. Strangely, if it had been a nightmare of mine, I would have thought it was weird at all. Well that was all I saw, of course I came halfway through. OH! And we saw an anime music video, mantra, thing. We were all like... "So, where's the show?" And they were like "Hey, if you get the play Sushi Oji, I get to play my anime mantra, thing." And was like lol... jk... not really.. ^_^


FREEWRITE AWAY!


Where was I? Oh yes, so Michelle just got back from Cicero's house, neh? Lol, rofl.


Nick was walking down the middle of Prexy's Pasture with Elias when they saw her. She was sitting on a bench, waiting. Her hair was straight, just past shoulder length, a rather ordinary shade of blonde. Her eyes were a soft brown that darted with mild impatience over the grass and she was the most beautiful thing Nick Wolf had ever seen.


"Oh, are you looking at her?" Elias asked.


Nicked turned his head to look at Elias, "What?"


"Her, she's.. She's Kendra, one of Diana's friends."


"Really?"


"Yeah, she just starting going to our church, remember?" he asked.


"No," Nick affirmed, "No, I would have remembered."


"Do you want me to introduce you?" Elias asked.


Just then Nick's phone began to ring. He reached in his back pocket and frantically flipped it open, trying to silence the absurd ring tone.


"Uh, hello?"


She looked up. A guy, tall, brunette, walked up to her. She got up smiled. She punched him lightly in the arm. He laughed.


"Hello? Nick?"


"What? who is this?" Nick asked, his heart sinking.


There was an exasperated sigh, "This is Michelle! I totally just said that."


"Sorry, I just. What's up?" Nick asked.


"Nothing much, I just wanted to follow up on that call I made earlier. Do you want to have lunch some time? I haven't seen you in forever!" she squealed.


The two of them walked away together, bumping into one another as they went


"What? Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, sure. Where do you want to meet?" he asked.


"Who is it?" Elias mouthed.


Nick waved him away. Elias rolled his eyes.


"I don't know, some place on campus I guess. Oh look! A spot!" Michelle cheered.


"Uh... well how 'bout the usual place," he asked.


"That's not on campus," she replied, "But yeah, sure. See you in an hour?"


"Now?"


"Sure!"


"Okay, yeah, I don't have anything today. I'll see you then," he replied.


"Who was that?" Elias asked again.


"Michelle," Nick said putting away his phone.


"Michelle? Nick! You aren't going to start it up with her again, are you?" he asked critically.


"Shut up. How many times have you and Diana broken up and gotten back together?" Nick asked.


"That's different. You and Michelle, that's like incest," Elias replied.


Nick gave him the eye, "No. I'm just going to lunch with her. I have barely seen her since school started, okay?"


"Okay, okay. Fine. But if you end up with her again, don't come crying to me," Elias replied, splitting off into Ross Hall, "Talk to you later?"


"Sure, whatever." Nick replied. His gaze limped longingly back to the bench. She wasn't there. He picked up his feet and jogged on to class.

The day of rest and GQ!
Sunday. 9.16.07 8:37 pm
Well, I got drunk dialed by some guy at 5:00, bleh.


So, I finally got back to bed around 6:00 and managed to sleep through church. BLARG!! This is particularily bad since I missed the college youth group deal yesterday to rest and I wouldn't have minded having the lunch they were providing, but alas, these things do happen.


I got dressed and I went to breakfast, which was good except they didn't have granola, again. I sat along the singletons bar at the edge of the cafeteria. A guy whom I've sat next to before, put his tray next to mine while I was gone. He seemed surprised to see me when I came back. I'm not sure if he remembers me.


The remainder of the day was spent in sundry pursuits, a word that Jordan and I looked up today while playing Mario Kart. I finished a good deal more of my Art History flashcards (I'm still searching for a better way of doing them), then I played Mario Kart and then I went to the store: which brings me to the highlight of my day.


You see, Jordanian and myself decided that we ought to set about drawing. I said that it was most fun to draw hot guys. She agreed that they were, definitely, a worthy subject and so I was tasked with finding a suitable magazine from which to draw them. First, I stopped by El Wal-Mart and got myself some necessities: stuff for my project, batteries for my calculator, blank CDs, tape, bic pens... all sorts of exciting things. (The sunglasses I got were cool. Five bucks and they will nicely replace my rose colored glasses that I broke) However thrilling, it was not the highlight of my day. The highlight was at Hastings were I bought myself a big fat GQ. It's amazing! It was only four bucks and I have picture fodder for months and months to come! Not only that, but the GQ articles are really kind of funny. They had a whole Helio add about texting and what different emoticons mean. I'll have to share some of it with you all one of these days. Needless to say, I've been having a glorious time with it thus far.


I also met two new people: Jessica and Ruth. I have always been fond of the name Ruth, mostly because of the story. Ruth is really a pretty cool woman in that there Bible.


Well, that's it for me.

The Tale of the Naked Woman and more freewrites
Saturday. 9.15.07 11:32 pm
So, I was working in the art studio again today (and burned myself again! GAAAH!!!). I was just trying to puzzle out my chair, the seat failing to connect with the rest of the project, when a nice woman, probably in her thirties or fourties, came in to the room.


She asked a couple of different questions, do we have this, where can she find the recyling, etc. Before she left she declared in a lofty way, "I love this place. It's like my home away from home!"


I remember because I thought it was odd the way she said it, she gave the words such fondness. The art building had always felt a lot more like my workplace. I thought that it might be nice to feel about the place the way she did.


Well, after some work time had gone by, I decided that I needed to head to the bathroom. I plowed through the two doors into the bathroom. I threw up my hands in shock. The woman, who I had seen just a moment ago was half naked in the bathroom, her arms mirroring my own, but more for the sake of modesty. She laughed, apologizing. I laughed uncomfortably in response. As I looked around the room, I realized that her clothes were all around the bathroom. Talk about home away from home. I went to the bathroom and she feebly explained to me things about how her neighbors used up all her hot water.


"I'm here a lot," she explained, "I'm usually here. I'm here when other people aren't here"


She sounded irritated! I quickly went about my business as she rambled on, nodding as understandingly as I could. I gave her a nod and a smile before I left and went straight back to my work. I didn't really tell anyone, though there was a person from my Graphic Design class who was working on her project the same time. It was just odd, I decided, so I thought it a worthy enough subject to note here ^_^.


Now for the next installment of the story. If you read the last installment last night, read it again, I changed the end a little.
----

After that, the next thing Michelle could remember, she was peeling her face off of a leather couch.


“So, how’re you feeling?” a boy, strikingly similar to Cicero in appearance, greeted her. Similar except he was a brunette and was dressed far more conservatively. The door, she realized, had been what had woken her up, the boy was carrying some groceries which he set on the glass table, “Powdered sugar donuts and orange juice, for you. It's what always makes me feel better.”


“CICERO! This is unacceptable! We cannot drive down three hours every time you make a mistake like this,” screamed a woman from the next room.


“Oh God! I don’t even know why I called you. I knew you would be like this,” Cicero groaned, “This is the ONLY time this has ever happened.”


She looked at the boy who was cringing. He looked back at her, “Don’t worry about them. Just eat.”


“What are they arguing about,” she asked.


The threw his eyes up to the ceiling, an expression that was striking familiar on that familiar face. He seemed to search it for a moment before he answered, “You got pretty sick last night, so Aunt Cecilia came down to take care of it.”


“Oh God,” she replied, burying her face in her hands, “I’m soo sorry.”


“Don’t be. It’s not your fault,” he replied honestly.


She shook her head, “I should have stopped drinking way before I did.”


The boy chuckled.


"Just STOP IT!" howled Cicero.


“Alright, I’ll stop,” they heard Aunt Cecilia shout, “but you are not staying here, you are coming back with us.”


The boy looked even more worried, “Um… grab some donuts, we’re going out.”


She looked over at the kitchen door and dutifully grabbed some donuts.


“What!? This is ridiculous. I didn’t do anything?!” Cicero growled.


“Don’t be difficult, Cicero. You’re father and I have been talking about it for some time now. You simply live too far away from your family and I think this proves it.”


The boy got up from his chair and tip-toed over to the door. Michelle followed him.


“No, NO! I'm not doing it. I'm-“


He closed the door on the barrage of noise, “I’m sorry, I thought that you probably wouldn’t want to hear that.”


They walked down the hall. It looked like they were in an apartment building. The hall was split by a elevator entrance. The boy walked up here and pressed the button.


“How old are you?” she asked, looking at him. She couldn’t decide if it was because he looked like Cicero or because of something else, but he seemed to act very old.


“Nineteen,” he said calmly, a light smile brimming on his mouth. It was much more subdued than Cicero’s, much more delicate, “Yourself?”


“Twenty-one,” she replied, “Do you go to the school?”


He shook his head and laughed, “No, no, we aren’t from around here. We just drove down for Cicero, you know?”


“I guess so.”


“Are you in college?” he asked.


“Yeah, I’m- Oh,” the elevator door opened, “That was quick.”


He nodded, “College?”


“Oh, yeah, but not here. I go to school in Wyoming,” she replied.


“Really? Why Wyoming?”


“Well… I don’t know. It’s cheap,” she said. They glided down the three floors to the ground floor.


“I moved your car, I hope you don’t mind,” he said letting her out of the elevator first.


“Shit, I forgot to feed the meter again, didn’t I?” she gasped.


The boy shook his head, “It's okay, we caught it. Are you feeling better?”


“A little,” she admitted, “Thanks. Funny, normally I’m not in the mood for this kind of food when I have a hangover.”


He shrugged. She looked at her watch, “Shit! It’s already one? I gotta go!”


He nodded, “Yeah, I figured. Here’s your keys.”


She grabbed them from him.


“Thanks. Tell Cicero how sorry I am,” she said. A pinch of pain made her reach up to her neck, but she ignored it, “Bye! Nice to meet you!”


And with that she tripped out of the doorway just as the elevator opened on Cicero.


"She's fine. She told me to tell you sorry that she got sick."


Cicero looked at him bewildered, "Why the hell should she be sorry?"


The other shrugged, "Apparently she was more wasted then you thought. She doesn't remember a thing."
