[it's the end of the world.]


(fade in, start the scene).

imagine
the world is going to end tomorrow;;
everything you ever dreamed, wanted, hoped for, will be swept up in a surge of stardust and mistakes-


what would you do?
what would you do in your last day?
tell the truth, break the law, eat doughnuts and cookies and peanut butter and macaroni cheese,
all the foods you're not allowed anymore, have sex, smash things.

love and hate and screaming and laughing and catching trains to nowhere in particular. standing on the edge of cliffs, watching the stars like you can't take your eyes off the beautiful people in your science class. lighting candles, being painfully honest, kissing people just for the sake of it. writing from the bottom of your shoes. attempting to make music and singing so you break glasses. running as fast as you can. holding your breath. drinking fresh orange juice. painting your fingernails all different colours.

make it beautiful, honest, choked with metaphors
make it the most profound thing you've ever written.
i like imagery and little things that make you do a double take. things that don't make sense,
but make so much sense you could cry.


please take your time to enter, it's not a race.
make your writing mean something,
make me think, make me search for hidden meanings.
i'm not the biggest fan of rhyme, but if that's how you write, i don't mind.
poetry or prose, i don't care. short or long, i don't care.
just steal my breath awayyy
