Guys, this gal is B-O-R-E-D.

So to pass the time, give me a "first line", anything you want, and I will write you a short story in accompaniment.

Weird or witty, peculiar or philosophical, whatever you want.

Huh, actually, I don't have anything.

Here is some Plath poetry:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

Or, some quotes:

Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.
-- Fernando Pessoa

Even castles in the sky can do with a fresh coat of paint.
-- Haruki Murakami

When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it's cruel and wrong and we all know this.
-- Dave Eggers

Kits Kits hopefully one of these will be inspirational somehow. <3

Even his mouth had dried up, filled with a cloying stickiness that was somehow worse than if he had no moisture in it at all. He wanted to spit it out on the ground, but knew he couldn’t afford to lose any more water than he already had, so he kept convulsively swallowing, despite how much it hurt to do so. At this rate, the B’ak’lak bugs they had been fighting in the Intergalactic War finding him would be preferable to the slow, unending torture of this endless trek ( ... )
