Maybe it was the strange journal prompt my English teacher gave us...she put a strange picture on the board, of a man about to hit a lump under the carpet with a chair (meaning he was going to use the chair to hit the lump, not that the lump had a chair) and said to make up a story for what's going on. I had a bit of fun with that...the really great thing is that she's got lots of these pictures.
Tales of accidental toadification, baby rocks that come skipping back...
*is rambling again* Sorry about that...
Anyways, I suppose I would recommend thinking of something amusing and writing about it.
