An idea.

Well, as you can tell from my oh-so active participation in this forum, it's been awhile since I've written anything decent. Hoping to get over that, so here's a little game.

Give me three words.

Write me a sentence.

The two don't have to be related, but I'll attempt to spin a short story containing the words and the sentence. Interested?

1) vacuum, buzzard, radiation

2) How could I have been so foolish?

GO

I stood on the crest of the hill and felt a hot breeze across my face. The chill of the night was unusual, but the inferno that had until fifteen minutes ago been downtown was more than a match for nature's winter wind. Yet the knowledge that it was my fault left me cold.

How could I have been so foolish? The experiment was a failure, and it was all my doing. You see, I'm an intern at the aeronautics lab. This project is the first one they've let me have a serious role in: we're trying to send our jets into space. Each run will have a different animal - the first was a buzzard from the zoo. Our objective is to see how the lessened effects of gravity in the vacuum of space affect the animals.

Our math was sound, and the project was on schedule. The crater in the courthouse? That's what we in the profession call "the results of our first run." Now, as to how this is my fault...

We launched the shuttle earlier today, buzzard safely in a cage. The takeoff went smoothly, on a planned path...

But I'd forgotten the most important thing - clear airspace. I'd not notified anyone...I'd completely blanked. I remembered...about three seconds before the other plane smashed into it.

I doubt the damage would have been as great if the wing hadn't landed in the power plant (though I must admit, it would have been a lovely explosion if not for the rampant radiation and death).

I thought the best action I could take was to leave. I want to be as far away from this mess as possible. The French Foreign Legion wouldn't be recruiting, would they?

I ain't claiming to be an expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure this house is a gothic-type one. Can't say for sure - I slept through that class. Point remains, it's a nice house. Not a place I'd wanna call home or nothing, but nice. Anyway, I don't wanna be here. So why am I? Because my friend's a dumbass. What do I mean? His pet turtle ran away. Yeah. That's actually why we're here.

So he carved his number into the shell. I called him a moron for it. Still think he is one. But he gets a call that someone found it. Since he lost his license, he begs me for a ride. Still don't know how the car ended up the tree with all those mushrooms in the exhaust, but that's not important. So I give him a ride, and he gives me bad directions, and we drive around for five hours. He's bitching the whole time.

We get there, he knocks on the door. Door opens, old lady steps out of the shadows. Turns out it's his aunt. He starts yelling at her. I've put up with his shit all day, I sock him, he drops like a rock. She looks at me, says "I would have done it if you hadn't."

World's effed up, man. So keep the shots coming. I got nowhere to be, and I don't wanna remember today.
