MAKE UP
[FlashXer] EXERCISE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2008
This morning was a visit to the blood lab, to get a blood test taken.
And, as
usual it took longer than I would have expected. So, I"m a little late.
But it gave me time to contemplate my prompt for to day (as well as
my navel)
so it was not so bad, after all. I have been having, in case anyone
gives a damn
pretty good blood results, and my hemoglobin levels, which had been
in the toilet,
are now sitting on the seat. That's good because I have more
energy. Loss of energy
is a bitch: it affects everything, no only locomotion and so forth,
but the ability to write
think, every thing. It is good it is coming back. After your read
this prompt, you may
wish they had been less busy there at the lab, but do with it what
you will...but
write to it, that's the way to make progress. Write, write, write,
write, write,
and then write some more. That's how they say you become a writer.
Try it, the whole
world can't be wrong, or can it? By the way, how many houses do you
own?
"THAT'S IT. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE, I'M LEAVING...."
"GREAT, BUT ONCE YOU GO OUT THAT DOOR, KEEP GOING. DON'T PLAN OM
COMING BACK. I'LL BE OVERJOYED IF I NEVER HEAR FROM YOU OR ABOUT YOU
AGAIN."
Usual rules. 1000 words. In the subject line, please, your name, the
word overjoyed and he
story title.
If you are leaving, it doesn't pay to burn the bridges. Someday you
may have to cross over again
Have fun. Write, start now.

"That's it. I can't take it anymore. I'm leaving!" Joe said.
"These are tears of joy, so don't bother coming back." Mary said.
"You can count on it. I'm taking the cat, too." said Joe.
"You can have all of the snacks you want. I'm sure the trip back to the home planet will leave you hungry." said Mary.
"The high command knows you're staying for love of a human." Joe said.
"Let them know their plan succeeded. I've been assimilated and you have failed." Mary said.
Joe put the cat down and pondered.
"Can we do that thing they call make up sex and forget this silly conversation?" said Joe.
