Any Old Story (Freewrite)
Any Old Story (Freewrite Story)
Prompt: Light provided by @mariannewest
The storytelling light has gone out. Usually, I'd leave it for another day, but I want to try a new app. Therefore, I am selling out and will write a story anyway. I don't care if it is good or bad.
I’m going to switch off the light and go sleep. Goodnight.
That's it, that's your story. I promise you that I will sleep for 8 hours straight.
2 hours later
Only 6 more hours until the alarm. I am still sleeping.
Another hour later
3 hours into the night. 5 more until the alarm goes.
Later again
I get woken up by a seagull. I check the window.
Is it still dark? I can see that it is slowly getting lighter. Maybe, I'll go and watch the sunrise. The beach is only a 5 minute walk. Then I'll come back home for more sleep.
I get dressed and walk to the beach. I hear seagulls and the sound of the sea. It gives me a feeling of peace. I can sit on the seawall and just watch the moon, the sun, the sea. Nature at its finest. I am so lucky.
However, something feels wrong. There are boats in the bay. Nothing unusual about that. But I can hear gunfire. They are shooting at each other.
Now I can hear the sound of aeroplanes. Low flying war machines.
I think it might be better if I leave. I'm going to run home.
Then, as I am running, a bomb falls right in front of me. But it has not exploded yet.
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
That's my alarm. I better switch it off. I've slept straight through. I'm sorry that I have no story for you but I needed the rest.
Let's write one now. What shall I write about?
I have an idea.

Sometimes you think you're sleeping and dreaming while practically in the real world, I mean the other way round though.

Clever! Ha ha I really enjoyed that shift in reality @mr-neil - please, keep writing
Thank you and don't worry, I won't be stopping. I'm considering to record a read aloud for this story.
Whew! I was pretty relieved when that turned out to be the alarm. Npw about that missing muse... I am pretty sure she will be out there wandering about looking for me. She will be showing up any day now.
Thank you for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thankfully, it was just an alarm.
