I really am working on something.

It's just taking a long time.

So cut me some slack, boss.

You better have been, or else!

Some infamous quotes from a co-worker:

"It's extremely rare to be me."

"I want to go into myself."

[and what don't slugs like?] "Mazes?"

"What am I, a ginger cookie?"

"Cookies and kids are the same."

"There you go -- root beer pudding."

I wanna hear Geb's infamous quotes!

You know, stuff that he says.

Still, that random co-worker is wacky.

But Geb is even more so!

Isn't it great resurrecting old threads?

C Y R U N X.

An experiment in single-letter 'words' - if only it ended up spelling out a word that was obviously tied into the same story.

"Where is your God now, angel?"

An attempt to make a normally dramatic line potentially more mundane. I've noticed most of my six-word "stories" are very incomplete as traditional beginning-middle-end stories, and I think they'd all be pretty useful to use. It still makes a good exercise for me regardless.

He dies, then lives, then begets.

(Just thought of reversing the standard 'life' story of being born, living, and dying. Funny enough, this seems to come off as the shorthand of what is at the crux of Christianity - the savior dies, then is alive again, and begets new life for those who follow. I might have to think of other standards to reverse and see if they link up with any other known stories.)

He died as he had lived.

(Geb, be advised: these're for you.) :omg:

Buy big beer bottles by boatloads.

Establishments conflict. Conflict resolves. Establishments resolve.

Without 'art' the earth is 'eh'.

(Writing the first experiment six-word story above lead me to think of the six-word quote. For the first six-word story, thinking "a story with a beginning and middle, a middle and end, and a beginning and end" made me realize that a story can be interesting without a clear ending, and it can be interesting with no clear establishing context, and it's unlikely to be interesting without knowing what happens in between, typically the conflict. Nothing earth-shattering, obviously, and I find it a convenient reminder.)
