Coming up with a title is hard.
I can never seem to figure out what to title anything. How do people do it?
I mean, I haven’t started writing yet, and I don’t have a title. That’s a problem. You can’t write something without a title, right?
So, I just continued to stare at the page in front of me, and I wondered, “What is the title?”
In the back of my mind, a little voice answered my question: “CHEESE! That’s your title! Write a story about cheese, and call it CHEESE!”
I chuckled to myself. Another voice spoke up. “Maybe you can write about cows and how they make CHEESE?”
This time, I let out a little laugh. I guess I’m obsessed with cheese today. My mind continued to argue about the different ways I could write about cheese, so I said to myself, “Okay, let’s write about cheese.”
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
So I started writing about cheese.
“‘O, hole-y cheese! Thou art so hole-y. Cheddar have I seen, but thine name is Colby Jack. I have seen thy hole-iness, and I cannot ignore it. I feel blue without the mozzarella. Please, o hole-y cheese, bless me with your grate-ness!”
And the cheese did bless me.
After this written prayer that I made as a joke, I saw a wheel of cheese in front of me with a smiley face drawn on it. It had to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. It was cheddar, though, so I was a bit disappointed.
“Behold!” it said, and it’s mouth moved a little bit. The voice was so childish, I almost laughed out loud. “I am the great cheese roll, and you have summoned me with that piece of paper! What do you wish for? I can only grant you one.”
“Really? One wish? Are there any rules?”
“There are no rules! Wish for whatever you want!”
“No strings attached?”
“No strings attached!”
I thought for a moment. One wish for anything I wanted, and there were no strings attached.
I finally decided on my wish. “I wish to have you for lunch, Grateness!”
The cheese frowned. “Have me… for lunch? I… I don’t think I can do that.”
“Well, you said I could wish for whatever I wanted, and I choose to have you for lunch, so come and get in my mouth!”
I grabbed the cheese roll as it shouted, “NOOOO!!” and I shoved it down my mouth.
And I have to admit, it tasted amazing. Best cheese I’ve ever had.
