Gathering of the Figments

Shaye · Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 8:05 pm Post subject: Four Words

People suggested to turn this into a game, so I am.

If you have a writer's block, in order to get the 'creative juices' (as my teachers call it) flowing, pick four random words and try to make them fit together in a paragraph or short story. I've tried this before and it worked for me.

Like this:
1. Phone
2. Back
3. Sky
4. Pointless

I drove my car past all recognition, just to get away from the buzzing pagers and ringing phones that I hear everyday. The signs on the side of the road were getting older the farther I drove along, some rusty, some just fading with the sunlight. The sky was gray with a bluish tinge. I got out of the car at a particularly large bunch of trees, wondering why I left on this pointless journey anyway. I looked back along the road where my car threw up the gentle dust in the gravel road, and wondered how the hell I was going to get home.

You can add 's' or 'es' and things like that. Try to do it as fast as you can. I find it works better if you feel like you HAVE to finish it.

Okay, so one person will post four random words, and then the next person will post a paragraph including all four words, then that person will post four more words and so on and so forth. (try to make them completely unrelated so that they're challenging)

I shall start! Very Happy

1. Green
2. Cloud
3. Emotion
4. Light

It was one evening and the sun was barely illuminating the green grass. As I stared up at the pristine clouds, my mind drifted. I began thinking about her. My chest swelled with emotion as the sun's light dipped beneath the horizon.

The small ZOMBIE hovered towards me, arms outstretched it ambled closer, wafting the smell of SWEET decaying flesh over me, urging I stepped back. The box of take-away FRENCH FRIES I'd been eating fell out of my hand and spilled on the floor, as beads of sweat ran down my forehead. The ZOMBIE opened it's mouth again, and as I smelt the stench of his breath he bellowed "Green Dawn in the greatest . . ."

No, I did the original one Wink

1. Testosterone
2. Tooth
3. Tinkerbell

I swear officer, it's all true! You got to believe me! I was sitting in my room eating tofu when all of a sudden Tinkerbell burst into my room. She took out an AK-47 and demanded that I hand over the teeth. Through the window flew the Tooth Fairy and her goons. There was a huge shooting war between the two, and I barely escaped!

My mind must be decomposing. Okay:

I put my keys through the door, and put my bags down in the hallway. I opened the door to the living room and saw a huge pile of BARF in the middle of the floor.
"Eugh!" I cried out in disgust. WHERE the hell had this come from? WHO had done this? Or rather, WHAT had done this?

Ever since I was born, I've only been ONE - EYED. People take the mick, but my glass eye looks normal from a distance, but up close it's kinda' freaky looking. They used to make fun and call me 'PURPLE PEOPLE EATER' Which made no sense at all seeing as I didn't eat people. Class used to be torture, but I'd just imagine all the bullies as ONE - HORNED ugly toads and the time'd go FLYING by.

1.Keyhole
2.Queen Victoria
3. Shrek
4. Astronaut beans

This is supposed to be getting your creative juices flowing Razz

one sentence won't do that silly billy.

"GET out of the shower now!" My mum yelled at me. "I pay for the hot water you know!"

She's such a nag! I climbed out of the shower and wrapped a towel round me. It was towel I'd had since I was, 9 years old or something, it was covered in little faded BEARS.
I opened the door and the steam from the shower poured into our chilly hall, I scampered upstairs, BARE NAKED, freezing to death and into my room. Written on my bedroom wall in blood were the words 'I'LL KILL YOU GREY DAWN.'

Very Happy
