In my theater class today I was given one of the best writing prompts I’ve been given in a while. We were given three topics, Love, Hate, and Sex and given two minutes per topic to write as much as we could. We were not allowed to stop writing. Then we were required to edit all of the topics to 25 words all together. Here is my list:
LOVE
pessimist, sucks, hurts, real, conditional,
not reciprocated, pretend, sex, friends, lovers, helpless,
stupid, unnecessary, comfort, companionship, trust, lies, liars, cuddling,
HATE
lies, liars, fighting, lonely, independent,
false, enemies, friends, I don’t know, I don’t hate people,
I assume it is the opposite of “love”, of positive feelings for a thing,
Is it unprovoked? Do things
SEX
good, bad, ugly, special, fun, amazing oral,
Hands, fingers, tongues, couches, beds,
walls, cats, coffee tables, movies, excuses,
condoms, latex, naked, nice butt, suck,
kiss, cum, elated, satisfied, excited, shaking,
can’t move

Can’t move
