WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a letter to a friend, from the perspective of someone living 100 years in the future.
What commonplace things might they mention that would surprise a reader now, and how can you use these to drive an interesting narrative?
How Much Are The Eggs?
Hay guurl, hay!
I know, it’s been a while. I am really sorry for taking so long to respond. It’s been kind of hectic over here.
I started the new job at Klō’ākē and hardly had any time to stop.
I heard that you are thinking about leaving Rooster and moving to the West Coast. Well, I have been telling you to kick his ass to the curb since that fiasco at the Co-op. He doesn’t deserve you! He is just a big, dumb cock!
Anyway, if you decide to go through with it, make sure you stop by on your drive west. There is so much I want to tell you, in person.
Everything is so different now. I miss the old times, when I could just peep in and we would hang out for hours. This new regime fucked everyone over. As if you didn’t already know that…Ugh, I keep squawking about…
I wanted to ask about Hena and the Chicks, are they doing ok? They are putting so much pressure on everyone. I’ll keep them in my thoughts.
You know, some days I don’t even want to get out of my box. I just want to keep my eyes closed and never open them again. Things were so much simpler before the humans lost their fucking minds. “Genetically modified chickens with enhanced intelligence,” things will be peachy and eggs will be cheaper. Mhm, yeah…and how much are the eggs now?!
What a bunch of crap!
But, please don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.
I have got a job and a box to stay in.
Ok, I better go now, gotta wake up early…cluck is ticking lol
Anyhow, cock-a-doodle-doo for now!
