oops...sorry mouse, I am trying to wrap up my "night" so I can go to bed and enjoy my day off and didn't continue reading back....congrats again and look forward to your word list. I do enjoy ThinkWrite! And once again midnightpoet, you say whatever you want to say. I think this is one place where rancor and adulation are both accepted. lol.

midnightpoet: Wow! What an abrupt and deadly ending. That's my style. Love the way you wrote it and the way it wove its way to a "bang" at the end. Haven't heard from "mouse" yet, so it may not be over.

Mouse: You have until Tuesday a.m to start the next ThinkWrite or a different torchbearer will be chosen.

I know this one's over...but I've been working on this for a couple days...

"Inside"

(Is any of this real?)

I’m wearing my purple pelican shirt again today.

(Have I washed it recently? At least it’s easier to wash than cashmere. I’ll wash it before I pack it with the rest of my clothes…)

I’m walking down the street. It’s more urban than the streets I’m going to. I hear a helicopter.

(I can’t stand the thought of flying. Glad I’m driving the U-Haul to the new place)

(I can’t believe it’s so far away…)

(Should I get gum for the drive? Maybe sour apple bubble gum…)

(I blew the biggest bubble in the class during an experiment. It was sour apple bubble gum…)

I see a lovely house with petunias in the front yard.

(I’ve never like petunias…)

There’s a woman outside with her dog.

(I wonder if she feeds it puppy chow…)

(I miss Jack. He was a good dog…)

(Wait…the woman said something…)

I smile politely.

“Yes, it’s a lovely day for a walk.”

(Walk…that’s all I ever do since my car broke down. It’s at the garage now, costing money I don’t have…)

(That’s onerous. Don’t think about it…)

(Pay attention!)

I don’t see the yellow taxi before it hits me.

Congrats mouse! I look forward to your word list and word count.
I know exactly where midnightpoet is coming from, I think Think Write has become one of my favorite things on this site and it's definitly my favorite forum thread. I have always loved to write but hadn't seemed to be able to motivate myself to do it until Think Write came along and gave me a fun excuse to get back into it.
I myself am terribly competitive but I don't find myself ever thinking of this as a competition. Like midnight said, it's a wonderful way of sharing ideas and seeing what others can come up with.
Now I'm rambling, long story short - I hope Think Write continues for a very long time!
