Getting started

[creative writing]

- It was an ordinary dark winter morning, and snow was still falling- she began
- No it wasn't
- Don't interrupt
- Will
- Wont
- Stop it

There was a silence.

- OK, it was summer and the sun was shining-
- No
- No better
- Oh

There was another silence.

I am sure Tolstoy never had this problem.

- The river flowed all through my childhood
- Yes
- Yes, go on
- The river flowed all through my childhood, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes just wanting to hang out and wait-
- No
- No

There was a longer silence this time

- The river was black, Bible black
- Nooo
- Noo
- OK it's your turn

There was an even longer silence, then a tiny voice said, 'It was my 60th year to heaven-
- No
- No
- Never.
