This writing exercise is an exploration of an idea I had. Actually, it was primarily a dream I had. God blesses me with such vivid and interesting dreams! This one I was able to remember. In the morning after I had it, I tried to capture it in the same vivid way it was in my dream. Obviously, in dreams there are more abstract “feelings” of how things are than actual concrete details. The main premise is two worlds. One is a functional world before the time of a ruined world. A character in each is linked by a device. If one dies, they are kept alive by the other. This only happens once for each though. The second time they die cannot be prevented. (I really haven’t worked out how this works, but hey, it just needs to do its job right?) In any case, that is the premise, the challenge then is to create a functional story out of a dream that “made sense” at the time. To those of you lucky enough to remember a dream once in a while, write down what you remember and make a story out of it! Have fun!
