Game Exercise! Week 1

Wonderlust

 One word you like

She has always wanted to travel. Being stuck in her small quiet hometown with the same old people weren't fulfilling enough. She went around seeing the same people that owned the local floral shop married to her teacher who also lived next door to her. It was a small town where everyone knew everyone and your business. She craved the opportunity to leave. Wonderlust you could call it. So when she started doing her own research on how to escape her small town she found a website that allowed students from America to attend university in Europe. She researched all about it and what kind of grades and expenses she would need to go. She didn't know when she was getting her acceptance into this program until a letter came in the mail. 

Running

One word that (verb or gerund) that envokes a complex, troubling memory for you

Race tracks and hurdles were her peace. This is ironic considering that is when her adrenaline is up the most. But running has always been her escape, from her problems, troubles, and worries. Running is when she can forget about everything and just focus on taking those next steps ahead of her, just completing that next hurdle. Her friends sometimes say she runs too much, that she uses it as an excuse to run from the problems in front of her but really she thinks it gives her the most clarity. After running is when she feels most firm. This is why when she left at 7 pm to go running after that fight she could feel all that tension leave her body. That is until she missed that call when she was running now she will never look at running the same. 

Wow

Song title

The grand glorious gala can only be described in one word; wow. It was everything I could ever dream of. The high ceilings filled with crystal chandeliers and walls decorated in fine velvet curtains. Along each wall stood historical pieces mostly containing status in all different eras of life. The floor on which my heeled feet walk is covered in fine plush carpeting in a silky golden color. But the entire feeling of the gala wouldn't be complete without the main stage that held the reason for the event in the first place. In a soft golden light stands a piece of artwork so captivating the only word anyone can say is, wow.

Brave

One adjective

Hunters and gatherers are renowned heroes that have been around for centuries. But the real heroes are the ones who tend to them. The brave woman that is forced to stay inside and serve at the ready of their own at a moment's need. Staying up long hours in worry and then when the time comes jumping at once to tend to whoever may need them. At this same time, keeping up the appearance of a calm, cool, collection. Being the most needed and not letting it affect you is the job. And being taken for granted is also the job. When you work long hours and they tend to those who have also worked long hours a day work is never done. The brave are the ones that stay behind and make sure the heroes are able to stay around for centuries.

Who?

Question

Who do we answer to? Who is the one we ask for help? Who is the one that shows us the way? All our lives the question of who lingers in the back of our minds. Still, we don't have the answer. We spend our entire lives trying to answer these burning questions and yet we never come close. Could the reason being there is no answer, or is there no right answer? We all live different lives, so shouldn't there be different answers to the same question? One question always brings forth another and in doing so a never-ending cycle of who continues. So should we seek out the answer or live our lives blindly?

Recess

One word that reminds you of your childhood

The best part of any school day is the part where learning is not involved. This being recess is the best part of the school. Playing with the friends you have in class and finally being able to tell them everything that's been pent up all day since yesterday. When kids can be kids and run around without a care in the world. Chasing boys and climbing on the monkey bars. And eventually sitting around sharing your secrets. Recess gives you a much-needed break from the pressure of being a kid and finally allowing yourself to be what you want with who you want.

week 5!

  Write a scene on a page or two consisting only of dialogue between two characters. No idle chatter—something must be at stake.   "I don't see why we can't just go to war, our army is much stronger than the south and we would win and establish order once again." My father, the king, shakes his head and tells me how I know nothing. I had been preparing since birth for my place as king, I know what I am doing. "I don't understand the south will either secede or start a war with the north why not put an end to it now before any casualties," I try to reason with my father but he won't have it. He starts to explain the condition of the country like I don't already know myself. "Is this about our resources? or how our allies might view us for going to war with our own people? Because father I cannot for the life of me figure out why you won't prevent our country from going into ashes," I exasperate. He then stands from his seat and shout...

Aha and Trauma in making shapely fiction! Week 8

  My cousin and I have never gotten along. While some consider their family their biggest cheerleader, mine is my competition. Whether it be school, work, or relationship-wise I have always been competing against my siblings and cousins to be the best. My siblings are much older and well into their own lives so we don't compete in the same field. But my cousin and I were born on the same day. I should've considered him my twin considering how we grew up together but no. He has always tried to take what's mine from the minute we were born to prove he was better. This time, it wasn't a competition for me. I have finally found the love of my life, the one meant for me. The only problem is, she works in the city while I work 2 hours away. My cousin just so happens to be working in the same building as her. After tonight it wasn't going to matter though, I was going to ask her to marry me and I know she'll say yes. I drive on my way to the city ready to meet her for ...
