The exercise:
A little something different for you today. I've been browsing various Whose Line is it Anyway clips on YouTube and thought I'd use one as today's starter:
Use whatever happens to inspire you while watching the video, be it a word or action or simply the name of the show, as mine was.
Mine:
Silence descends as our conversation awaits the next line. It lengthens and grows deeper as I wonder if it's yours or if it's mine. I pretend indifference as I continue to dine but the clock continues to mark the time until it strikes nine. I make reluctant eye contact, hoping for some sort of sign.
You return my look with a superficial smile that tells me that you find this quiet most vile. But no words are spoken so I gaze out the window for a while before sorting my food into three separate piles. I wonder if the distance between us can now be measured in miles.
How has our bond reached such a state of decay? Our lives have less spice than this bland fillet; we used to walk this road together but now we've gone astray. It's much too late to fix all out wasted yesterdays, so I guess it doesn't matter whose line it is anyway.
