Challenge
Pen to the Paper 3
Write with no plan. Sit down and write a story, a poem, a "mind-wandering," with absolutely no plan in mind. I find myself doing this a lot, and I want to see what your stories that have not been planned out look like. After writing the first draft, you can revise it however many times you like.

An Easy Dinner
The crinkle of plastic wrap
Torn off a frozen pizza
The blue light flickering
From a high school
Football game
The beep of a microwave
Warming a bleeding heart
Frozen and wrapped up
Tight
Just as tasteless and freezer-burned
As the pizza
My body is warm
But my fingers are cold
Typing warms them
But only a little
Dehydrated flowers rest
On my desk
Music blares
Slow and tired
Straight into my ears
Whispering the messages
My heart left behind
But now my heart is
Warm
The microwave beeps
A morse code
Calling me
And at the table
My heart before me
Cold fingers dig in
And serrated teeth
Bite
Red sauce runs
Down my chin
And leaves my body
Cold
