Bad day!
Sometimes, when I`m walking to or from someplace, and esspecially at night, I`ll get little...ideas, for want of a better term. They`re never fully fledged ideas, per se, they`re usually just small flashes, from which, usually my best stories come. I had two such flashes on my way from Dre`s today. The first and most promanant one, is a single image. It`s a couple, sweetly embracing under an umbrella. The sky is dark with rainclouds, and the ground is glistening with puddles. But, instead of rain falling heavily from the sky, it`s blood.
The second, is a mom and her son in a minivan. It`s a clear night. The radio is on. It`s that brief intermission between a song and a commercial, when the DJs usually talk for a few minutes. They decide to take what they think is a call about the traffic. The caller is yelling someting incoherent about some kind of 'monster' destroying a city block. The DJs joke about this for a little while, asking if this is a prank call among other things, before one of them desides to look out the window themselves. The channel suddenly fills with screaming, at which time the mother driving the van turns off the radio, and the son complains about something completely unrelated.
I have no idea where these ideas are going, but they`re definately worth looking into. That`s the reason I`m writing them down here; so I don`t forget them. Well, that, and I`m interested to see what y'all think.
