‘I tried that for a while. It wasn’t any fun.’
‘If you treat your body like a temple-eat a proper diet & exercise, then you’ll live a long life.’
‘What’s the point of living a long, boring life? I’d rather treat my body like a #bouncy house.’

‘Not really.’
‘How can you live like that?’
‘Easy. Ever think about those freakish ambitious people who climb in a #mountainous region like Everest?’
‘Yes. They had a goal. A plan.’
‘Yeah, well so did the people who died doing it.’

Feb 17 #prompt word
Approaching his #mountainous childhood home, the soldier reined in. Seven years ago he'd left with his four best friends, aiming for glory in the southern wars. Now he rode alone.
In the distance, a woman called to her child. He turned back south.

‘Oh yeah? Probably from that funny weed we smoked.’
‘Yeah. All the fish were glowing like crazy. Then this weird creature popped out of the cave.’
‘Gnarly.’
‘No. It was Sir Eel.’

She sat, #enchanted by wildflowers. Soft floral scents, blossoms nodding gently as if agreeing with her every thought... three bunnies in little morning suits and top hats...
-Would you like to attend a bunny wedding?
She jumped to her feet. -Yes, please!

‘I know, right?’
‘I heard you had a warped sense of humor.’
‘I heard you don’t like long explanations.’
‘So, tell me about your life in a nutshell.’
‘Well, there’s #minuscule room to move around & it’s very dark.’

He encloses my hand in his, warmth radiating from his body to mine. It is the last time we will touch each other for five days, although we will still be side by side. I am suddenly shy as we pull on our pressure suits.

‘Books? Ohmigod, you know me so well. You get a big #kiss.’
‘Thanks. But it looks like these won’t fit anywhere.’
‘Are you suggesting I get rid of some of these?’
‘Who’s fault is it that you have too many books?’
‘I have only my shelf to blame.’

‘Like the beach?’
‘No, that’s Laguna. It’s like a void where something’s supposed to be. A gap. Now I have to find a way to use it in a story.’
‘Oh, that sounds easy.’
‘Really?’
‘Just write about that space in your head where your brain should be.’

“lagoon? No, lacuna . . . different from lagoon. Not a cave exactly but an opening, like a mouth, that swallows things. He opened his mouth to show. It goes into the belly of the world.”
Barbara Kingsolver

Definition: Lacuna - Unfilled space, gap
‘Why? What happened?’
‘Well, my son is at that awkward age. He’s extremely curious & starting to ask questions about the human body.’
‘Oh, that’s a tough one.’
‘I know. Now I have to find a new place to hide it.’

‘We need to verify a few things. It seems to indicate you may be of lesser intelligence.’
‘Such as?’
‘Under education, you put-just a #touch’
‘Yep. Self taught.’
‘Huh. Can you spell orange?’
‘You mean the color or the fruit?’
#vss365
‘No. But you keep buggin’ me about it. Gives me an ear #ache.’
‘I hear other couples enjoy it.’
‘I’ll do anything to help our relationship.’
‘We should have a safe word.’
‘Ok. Meatloaf.’
‘Meatloaf?’
‘Right. Cuz I’d do anything for love - but I won’t do that.’

"I wish to run my trembling fingers long
Through the black tangles of your heavy hair,
To plunge my aching head amorous of
Your skirts as into secret, perfumed bowers,
To breathe your scent as from pale withered flowers"
'Le Léthé', Charles Baudelaire

‘The drills are excruciating. At the end of every day, so far, my #bones ache.’
‘Getting the body back in shape is hard work.’
‘You know what they say about what doesn’t kill you.’
‘It gives you unhealthy coping mechanisms & a warped sense of humor?’

"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."
T. S. Eliot
