I ran down the street. Panicked. My child was in one of the house. About to be killed. I run up to door after door. Knocking. Knuckles bleeding. I woke myself on purpose. Wouldn’t you?

wemuma wrote about the word executive 2 years, 1 month ago
I am an executive. There I said it. Frowned upon in the creative writing world. You are supposed to be starving, unemployed, or, at the very least, underemployed, to be a true artist, a true creative person.

wemuma wrote about the word audience 2 years, 1 month ago
The world is my audience. Every day when I wake up I perform. I take a bow after making the coffee. I dart in and out of traffic and take home the first place trophy when I arrive at work on time. I speak at the meeting and am handed a bouquet of flowers. If [...]

wemuma wrote about the word classic 2 years, 1 month ago
“It’s a classic.” That’s the tagline I wrote for Talbots. No it seems that business is in the toilet. They refused to ever go with any of our marketing recommendations. Now it’s too late. They think a celebrity spokesperson can save them, but they’ve missed the boat.

He held the rope in his left hand and and approached the jungle gym, pulling himself up with his right. When he got to the highest bar, he tied the rope to it then pulled the loop up and over his head, crowning himself. His somersault off the bar was perfect.

obsessed. so much negative connotation surrounding the word. But what if you’re obsessed with yoga? Or healthy living. Is that bad? Who makes the rules about what is normal behavior and what’s obsessive anyway?

wemuma wrote about the word example 2 years, 2 months ago
I was looking for an example of a “he said, she said” story. Not to cheat, but to get inspired. Than I thought why does it have to be he said, she said, why not he said, he said? Whatever I need to think of a conversation with some heavy subtext.

wemuma wrote about the word control 2 years, 2 months ago
I’ve lost my sense of control. I’m not out of control. I’m just not completely in control. It’s my mind that strays from the controlled place I so trusted. It can defy me on a minute by minute basis. It used to be the one thing I could count on. Now my body is the [...]

I saw it at the bottom of my purse, the keychain with the single key. Hers. I forgot to give it back and I swore to myself that I would take it out and mail it. But I never did. Because that would mean it was the end of us.

He did his multiplication tables as he sat under the light held by a wire from the ceiling. They’d shock him every once in a while as they asked him questions, demanded answers. Shocked him over and over with higher volts. 6×6, 7×7, it’s what kept him from answering their questions no matter how much [...]

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, whence…” she read the words and tried to decipher their symbolic meaning, which was the assignment. But all she could think about was spider webs getting into each other’s business.
