Mikey Has A Vision—Five Minute Freewrite Using 18 prompts

Master?

Yes, Donatello?

Michaelangelo had a dream that may actually be a premonition about TGRI's next move!

Michaelangelo?

Yes, master.

The one who thinks blue dye no. 2 is a food group?

Yes, master.

Sigh. Okay, Michaelangelo. Let's hear it.

Okay, okay. It's like this:

By the way, I thought this all happened yesterday, Master Splinter, but it was actually this morning.

Yes, yes, get on with it.

Okay, so I dreamt that I gave an apricot to a purple squirrel that was itching after falling into some ooze...

You mean it was scratching.

He's talking about a purple squirrel in ooze and that's what you want to correct?

Shut up, Raf!

Whatever! Itching! Stratching! That's not the point! Go ahead, Mikey.

Okay, okay. So, the squirrel started to scream, and then it got this bittersweet look on its face. See, before it fell, it was playing around in a grapevine, but the grapes started to turn black.

I can't believe this! If any of you think this is actually a vision or something, you're more gullible than I thought!

Shhhh, Raphael. Let him finish.

Okay, okay, so the squirrel's screaming because the grapes are black, and then these mosquitos show up, and they must have come from the ocean because they bring the salty air with them. Then, the squirrel looks up and sees three grapes that are still good, so it starts to climb back up. And, yeah, that's pretty much it.

That's the end of the vision.

Yeah. Do you think it means something?

Yes, Michaelangelo. I do.

Ah, c'mon!

What does it mean, Master Splinter?

It means there was too much mold on the pizza Michaelangelo ate early this morning. I think we still have a penicillin pill in the medicine cabinet. You should take one.

Told you! Ha ha!

And to think I believed you. You really have to lay off the early morning eating, Mikey.

Sorry, Donny. It's what I do at 2:30 in the morning when I can't sleep.
