I wasn't able to read your entry when it was first released (dealing with you-know-who) but I did read your intro. It had me giggling at random times. Thanks for that! Like this next part:
My sink was piled high with dishes, my voice mails sat unanswered, my dog whined to go out and I did not care at all. All I cared about was finishing this diabolical story.
As I'm not prone to small talk, getting a deep look at what you went through is more my style. hahaha
I was also surprised by how long this exercise takes. The challenge of trying to tell a story with the given structure is so very tricky. I haven't done it outside of a freewrite, where the idea is just to write what comes to mind, so I'm not sure what would happen if I just winged it. All give it shot at some point though.
You had me laughing throughout the entire piece. So funny!
Spoonerism - awesome.
I, too, don't like doctor, at least the Western one who only want to put people on pills and say, "Now have a nice day." I like this elder woman already.
I loved how she continually strived to learn despite your failing memory. The words alone in this piece are enough to boost my member by 1000%, I had to look up so many!
I can't believe she's never flirted. No wonder she was taken aback when a lovely bot offered himself up for the taking. haha
Thanks so much for giving the exercise a go. Truly, a delight to read.
You have never done this yourself?! lol. You must! It's super fun, although not easy. I do think the first one is probably the hardest though. I'll try it again for sure, just maybe not next week as I will have houseguests, and 'twould be rude to sit and write the whole time.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Two of the people I summoned have told me they are doing it, so hopefully you will get a couple more entries.
I've done several for freewrites, one being here - which was really difficult and took like three days. What I meant is that I haven't done it outside of a freewrite. You know, in a freewrite, you simple write what comes to mind. Fortunately, I've managed to make a story out of it. It could be a different beast altogether not doing it in a freewrite way.
I read the comments, had too. That cheered me to read that they are thinking about entering. Thanks for cheerleading. Your awesome piece will hopefully inspire them.
