So, as many of you may know, my days are pretty empty. I'm asking for anyone who reads this to post a story. Just a quick synopsis of a story, any story. I will read the story, and hopefully write a short screenplay adapting the story. I will fill in all the holes, I just need a general direction. I want to see a) if anyone will post a story b) if I will write anything c) what I can come up with. So, feel free to post some ideas. I have plenty of time.

so i am going to give you a two part dream that i had about two years ago now that creeps me out to this day. run with it if you got it in you.

Part 1
i am in a poplar section of a familiar forest. it is november and i know i am hunting by the way i am trying to stay awake in this ground blind and by the blaze orange vest that is reflecting the sun's painful rays into my eyes. i am looking for the horizantal line of a deer's back to run against the vertical barcode that i see all around me. a stick breaks and my head snaps as quick as a trap in the direction of the fatal step. the lung stinging wind stops and the only sound now is my heart beating as loud as a passing truck. waiting for an open shot. one shot, one kill. waiting for a clean shot. brown image moves into a clearing and stops for a perfect shot. BLAM!!!

my shot rings in my ears and i wait to watch as the body falls into a heap not ten yards from where the bullet struck. a young woman pulls at the loose snow in pain and her tears freeze before they hit the ground.

my father comes out of no where excited at first and the excitment drains as he sees the blonde hair flow out from underneath the hood of the brown Carhart jacket. he prepares her for death as i run for the jeep. we get her into the jeep and head to the nearest hospital, my father driving as i hold her head steady. things happening too fast as the trees speed past the windows. eyes fade. woman dies with a short gasp and one last tear to match mine.

Part 2
i just finished filling up my tank and am still complaining about the price of gas as i walk into the gas station. i landed right on 20.00 so i decided not to get anything else so i can just pay with one bill. i look over the lotto tickets as the giant of a man behind the counter rings up my gas. no change needed, so i just wait for his nod as a common signal that i am good to go. his eyes widen as he looks at the exit door to see a shot gun pointed into his face. not a word is spoken as he opens the registar and takes out all the cash. the gun is held by a figure dressed in black work pants and a matching black hoodie with the hood pulled up. a mask covers all but the eyes of the intruder. the eyes turn to me and i realize all at once that i will be driving the get away car. my car. full of gas and prepared to go a long way. smart plan, i have to admit. i get in and am given directions written out very quickly, but precisely. as i am heading out of town, the radio is cut and the mystery person heads to the back seat, with the barrel in my face the whole time. i can hear the bag of clothes that i have in my back seat opening and my brand new work jacket is taken out. i arrive to the exact destination as the jacket is officially stolen from me and worn out of my car. i notice, suddenly that i have driven into a familiar forest full of poplar trees, and my jacket is one brown Carhart jacket. as she gets out of my car, she says that she will let me live if i don't watch which direction she runs. i look back just in time to see her pull the trigger. the jeep is still running.
i haven't hunted since.

have fun with that one. not much of a story, but it is all i have.

So this one time i'm hous sitting a night for these people out of town. The house doesn't need much looking after, but they have a dog and cat that need food, water, and to be let out. They let me sleep there the night, and i didn't want to but i didn't want to find a mess in the house cause i messed up some dum cat's bathroom schedule. It takes me forever to fall asleep, i don't like sleeping in strange places. I finally pass out but am soon awoken by a sound. It doesn't take much to roust me in my uneasy state. I lay there a second to identify the sound. After some deliberation i decide it's just the dog getting up and getting some water. All i hear is lap, lap, lap, lap. But this goes on for a long time. I ask myself how fucking thirsty is this dog, i can't sleep with that going on. So finally i get up and check on the dog, i open the door to the room, and here the dog is licking itself, and just going off. it looks up at me right away, with the "don't you knock" "don't tell mom" look, and i quickly leave and shut the door behind me.
