thought # 10- i want to write again

i came to this conclusion after attempting to clean my desktop on the mac this morning and discovered a section of my extension 2 major work which i never ended up including in the actual story. for my fellow extension 2 friends you may remember my original intention of including a third objective voice in the story but i scraped it soon after. i re read the piece which brought feelings of both nostalgia and inspiration to write once more. i guess just for fun and with plenty of time on my hands i can no longer complain about busyness... the concept is no longer valid during this three month bludge haha. i thought i would share the extract with you all. for context's sake, this chaos theory styled excerpt basically shows how the main protagonist (insane, middle aged caucasian male) is connected to his ex wife (who has become a lesbian and who he still love but loathes for leaving him) whether he is conscious of their correlation or not. its not brilliant but it reminded me of why i adore to write. it really is written regurgitation.

A middle aged Caucasian male, on his way to a bed store, walks unaccompanied but acts as if he is not.  Due to his distracted state, he bumps into a short grey-haired Asian woman who seizes the culprit with her furrowed eyebrows and murmurs something under her breath in her native tongue before proceeding to walk. This short grey-haired Asian woman stops to look at the fruits being sold by a dark- haired, pale-faced (suspiciously ill ) local fruit vendor. This fruit vendor is not particularly in the mood to strike a conversation and so remains silent, bored and pensive whilst chewing fresh tobacco leaves and sipping unpleasant watered- down coffee. The fruit vendor purchased this coffee earlier in the morning at a 24-hour fast food chain. It was in this chain that the fruit vendor participated in a bitter and rather vexing exchange of words by an impatient young fresh- from- university graduate running late for an important job interview. This famished graduate is running late due to a traffic jam strewn across and obstructing all main highways into the city. This inconvenient traffic jam is the result of another impatient driver who has attempted to beat the nimble red light and has collided with the adjacent vehicles, initiating an infelicitous and unwanted game of dominoes. This impatient driver happens to have actually been on the phone to a man trying to deliver her new king size wooden bed and mattress in chestnut brown. Whilst deliberating the best time for them both, the impatient driver briefly looses focus and thinks that the light has just turned ember. This deliveryman, who has just concluded a baffling delivery confirmation, is walking out of the store to his truck near- by passing a lady walking adamantly in the direction of the outlet. This lady is startled by the stentorian complaints out of car windows and deafening beeps from horns, wondering to herself, what possibly could have started such heavy congestion. 


explanation:

This shows a comical chaos theory style connection that the man and his ex wife have. It is through the normal everyday moments of life that bring familiarity between them. Shows that they truly belong whether they are conscious of it or not, whether they are physically together or not. A break from the two completely subjective and emotional “stories”/ voices of the two. The third voice is almost a comic relief… an objective voice that shows that their belonging is beyond feelings and love… they belong simply because.

love


p.s. another treasure from danise's tumblr haha.
