Soft (freewrite)

in #freewrite8 years ago

I breathe in the hot, musky scent and allow the dream to wash over me. Only it is not a dream, but wakefulness. Wonderful, alarming wakefulness – I stare at the soft room. It is soft, all over, because it is covered in towels. Of all shapes and sizes.
And cloths.
And words.
There are words inscribed on the towels, but they are very small words, so I have to come closer to be able to read. But...I am not here to read, I am here to enjoy, to relax, to allow all the troubles of yesterdays to wash away from me. I am here to be born anew.

I lie down on the table and wait for the masseuse to come in. I wonder, briefly, if it's a man or a female. I've always had strange fantasies about massage parlors, probably from all the jokes I used to tell as a kid. But my mind wanders and I can't focus on that for long The words are screaming for my attention and I figure since the masseuse isn't here yet, I might as well look again.
I hop off the massage table and start crawling around, examining the words on the soft pink floor. Funny, but they make no sense.
It's a scramble of words, a game. It's not a story. I begin to feel...scared.
Suspicious.
The words frighten me now. I walk up to the door and try the handle.
But it doesn't open.
I am locked in here.
With my jumble of words.

Your writing really impressed me. Your creativity in your writing is really Praise the claimant.

Thank you, I think?

Hello you wonderful Encouragers & Prompt Deliverers!!! First of all, each one of you ROCKS!! 😁 Thank you so very much!!! I'm grateful to be in a group with people who take time out of each day to help their fellow freewriters (insert your pat on the back here would you please)! 🤗

I've attached an editable spreadsheet (Ugg..yes I know - I groaned making it LOL!😂) to help organize our deliveries.
It is also pinned in the room Marianne's Plans on Isle of Write's Discord Channel. Please feel free to message me if you'd like a link to the room.

Many of the Encouragers use the room to leave messages for the others so as there isn't any overlap in delivering the prompts (time is precious and who wants to double back?⌚ ).

Please check the schedule to see if there are others slated to deliver prompts for that day. If so, it would be great if you would message (or leave a comment for them on a Freewrite in case they are not on Discord) prior to beginning and then put that on(update) the spreadsheet. This way, each one of us can check our messages and know who starts where and when. (Again, to prevent two people delivering prompts to the same freewriter twice).

If you have any questions or would like me to adjust the sheet, please let me know.
THANK YOU ALL!!! You're doing this is truly appreciated! 💙
(Sorry for leaving such a long comment!)😿

Oh, lovely! Thank you, baby!

A fine write, really. You are good at description.

I see you have already eaten today's pie of the #freewrite. My Fellowe encourager for today @marie-jay already made the delivery. So double love from us both.

That was very engaging, I liked how you built up slowly and peacefully towards the dread and fear at the end.. very well written
