Opening lines...

I like to write. I tend to write down lines I think of and keep them for later, in case other ideas pop up that might go with them. I was reading some of the lines I've saved today. I don't know why but I find them kind of funny given that they just don't go anywhere. So, I thought I'd share them. Just to give you a smile.

Here they are: (these are unrelated thoughts/sentences...hence the double spacing)

I was pretty sure that the it was only a dream but the feathers on my bed when I woke up told me otherwise.


I was hungry. Standing there in front of the fridge in the middle of the night, it’s all I could think of, “I must eat!” And then I saw it. Right there, behind last night’s roast and to the left of the unfizzed bottle of Mountain Dew.


The cat spent hours sitting in the open window. Only a thin screen kept him from making the leap. A thin screen and a healthy fear of falling. Yet, the birds and squirrels taunted him daily. One of these days, he thought…


“If it gets any colder in here, I may have to start something on fire!” screamed Esther from her easy chair. She got that way when she was needy.

It was somehow my fault there was nothing for dinner. He would never admit that what was wrong but I could feel his eyes burning into the back of my head as I sat at my desk and his pointed silence spoke loud and clear.


To make a long story short, it was about Jesus. Lukas sat hunched over at the end of the stone wall. He watched as the pamphlet flapped in the wind, half stuck in the mud and slush. It was one of those the Witnesses brought when they came knockin’. ‘He died for your sins.’ “Not mine,” Lukas said out loud as he slid from the wall. He shoved his hands deep into his jeans pockets to keep them warm and walked the rest of the way to Vern’s Gas and Go.


(That last one actually came to me from something Alex mumbled out loud. There was a Jehovah's Witness pamphlet in our front yard... LOL!) I don't know why I felt like sharing these. I've always done this writing down of little bits and pieces of thoughts and things I overhear. I used to have snips of paper everywhere but I'm a little more organized now. A little bit. LMAO!


Oh...by the way...I want this. We met him at store today and totally fell in love.
