get the creative juices juicing

I owe [livejournal.com profile] teleidoplex a post for the meme-type-thing she tapped me for, but that one will require a fair bit of thought and effort from me, so in the meantime, I'm going to do something frivolous. :-)

By way of yhlee on Dreamwidth: Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you one sentence from that story.

(Or possibly more.)

In the meantime, I'll be over here, figuring out how to arrange my novel to include a semi-kidnapping.

I really liked the flash piece about the end of a world in Driftwood. It was small and sweet and heartbreaking, but in a good way.

The last time I saw them, Aun was making dinner from the food Esr had begged in the Shreds that day, and she was cleaning the one room they had left.

(Oh wait, I totally cheated (http://www.swantower.com/stories/driftwood/smiling.html). Let's try this again.)

They made a game of it, betting on which bits would vanish next, and toasted the victor with good cheer.

DAMMIT. I had not known of that story. And yay, because I had not known of that story! And it is pretty much exactly what I wanted you to have written only not have written because it's supposed to be imaginary.

I wasn't sure if you were aware of its existence or not. It's only been published on my website; Driftwood flash is too dependent on the reader knowing the setting for its effect. (Or at least I think so.)
