Cutting a Story Short
Current Time: 2:07
I really thought that last one was going to last longer than it did, but I couldn't think of anything else to add to it. I guess that's what I get for getting inspiration from staring at a picture of Joseph McCarthy. And I was pretty much sick of that by the time I wrote the phrase "secret rocket fuel formula." I just can't bring myself to write that.

Today Sucks
Current Time AM EST
Woke up an hour late
Snoozin' seemed smart at the time
I'm all out of coffee
Today will be sublime
I can tell in advance
I should have just stayed in bed
Maybe if I'm lucky
Thugs'll bash me in the head
The car won't start
Because that would be good
I gotta full tank
The problem's under the hood
So now I've got to walk to work
But the neighbor's got a dog
It's a pit bull/mastive hybrid
Plays fetch with redwood logs
It's gonna catch me
'Cause it's always loose
It's on days like these
I wish they'd hang me by a noose
Things can only go up from here
That's what they always tell me
Some day I'll own a cadillac
I'll be extremely wealthy
And everybody on earth
Will call me their master
But for now I've got this crappy job
Lord is my boss a bastard.

Well, I was curious to see what would become of your bottomless resolve to do this... I'm impressed with the first piece. I like the next bit of prose but I knew you already had that idea culminating long ago. It's good to see that you finally got around to writing it down.

This has actually inspired me to have a writing spree of my own. Nothing close to this as far as scale goes but it should be interesting none the less. I guess I'll talk to you on Thursday Luke. You should be amply rested up from your marathon by then.

That's true, but you can't really expect more than that when you're writing at such high speeds and are not taking time to sort through your thoughts. You can always come back later and refine it.

I just had a great idea! You should write a poem, essay or a short narrative on Leroy.

Your Body and You: A Young Plongopod's Guide to Puberty
Current Time: 2:49 AM EST
You're getting to be that age. You've probably noticed that your body is going through some weird changes. Your tentacles are getting darker, and your egg sac is expanding. Don't be embarrassed! You're just crossing that magical threshold to adulthood that we call puberty! Your mandibles are probably starting to get hairy; time to let pop show you how to work that Atomic Matter-Destroying Razor!
You may have noticed small bumps on the back of your shell. Those aren't pimples, they're developing spikes! Wait another 3 to 5 weeks and you'll be impaling your friends at the Quargon game like the best of them!
Puberty is the time when a man becomes a man. Your egg sac will slowly change, and eventually become an internal nuclear bomb generator! Little babies come out of your sister's eggs, but the annihilation of entire continents come out of yours! And never mind that slug sticking out of your body. That little symbiotic scamp of a bacteria in your pancreal cavity is going through a few changes of his own!
Now that you've developed a working liver, you can drink the same kind of stuff that pop does! There's nothing like slugging back a cold one with the old man while watching the armada hurl planets into a supernova. The flux capacitor in your seventh lung is also functional now, so why not take some of your friends and go exploring some black holes? You'll never know what you'll find one of those kooky parallel universes!

Also, I'm starting to seriously reconsider going for twenty four hours straight.

You hush. Seven hours of writing is still nothing to sneeze at.

Because I like sleep much more than I realized, I think what I'm gonna do instead of marathoning it is instead make it so I have clock in 24 hours of writing by Sunday night.

But then you'll have time to think! That's not fair! What you're supposed to be doing is drawing things from seemingly nowhere and then forming them into a cohesive work of art, although I wouldn't consider a few of the things you've written so far to be art exactly...

Oh well, I guess this gives me time to actually converse with you directly.
