Creativity Night

These pieces all come from Creativity Night, an event we host every semester focused on fostering creativity through collaborative art.  The short stories were written one line at a time by those who attended the event, with the paper folded so that only the last sentence was visible to the writer. Freed from the shackles of context, our authors let the narrative run wild through all manner of hilarious twists and turns.

Blind Story 2

Spencer paced the room, pondering how he would

see the stars, and wander the galaxy. However, he couldn’t

afford the down payment on a spaceship

by becoming a hyperdrive mechanic.

His plan was the study the stars. Stars were so fascinating.

Not to mention the stories his mother had told him.

“Don’t drive in Linwood.” She’d say. “Once, my brother and I

found a turtle with bite marks on a dinosaur could

recognize. A detective dinosaur, that is. Specifically, this detective dino was

on the run when his prime suspect found he was onto him…

He ducked into an abandoned motel on the side of

I-15 north. The room had a staleness to it that

was unsettling. Thank goodness I brought my teddy bear! He always

knows what to say when things get scary. His soft fur and buttons

sparkle in the moonlight, as the child approached, remembering

that the heat equation describes the diffusion of heat in a substance.

“It’s…wrong. The equation is wrong. Actually, the right answer is the opposite.”

Well, my life is officially over now. If it’s the opposite, what is true?

I know that the government’s designs for the parks are true.

We need to get this to the press!” They ran to the Rav-4,

crying. Meanwhile, in Bermuda, 1300 pigeons mugged a man. Nobody really

knows why. Maybe he had it coming. Maybe they needed the money

to pay off the loan he took to pay for his roaring monster truck.

The bank came for the house, leaving him homeless in Reykjavik, Iceland.

So he bored into the earth and dug and dug until he reached

Shangri-La. Buddha rolled him a spliff and gravely said

This is the fifth noble truth. He dabbed un Nasageha and closed

the door. Taking with him the feeling of satisfaction

overwhelmed him, and that peace spread to others around him.

They all sat down, watching as the sun finally rose again.
