If I were...

Description:
Looked at the writing prompt categories and say "If I were..."
So I just wrote. It's a five minute work, probably has a few errors, but it looks Flynn-approved to me - but what about you?
All comments appreciated.

If I were...
If I were a Hamster, then I'd be small and fluffy. I'd eat my pellets every day, and drink my water freely. I'd run around in circles, and I'd jump onto my wheel - and I'd be agoin and agoin, by never get no where. And I would live inside a cage, and I'd know nothing else. Alas, I am a hamster. If I were a frog, then I would hop all day. I whip my tongue and with avarice I'd feed. I'd need always be near water, and always out of sun, and restricted by these two things, I'd know only of them. Alas, I am a frog. And If I were a human, I'd live inside my house. I'd murder all the nasty pests, and kill the ucky mouse. I'd hunt in my refrigerator, and watch my loud TV, and believe all that I see, and I'd know thing else. Alas, I am a human |

| Very interesting piece. And well written if I may say so. I loved the comparisons and the way in which you described ze humans. 'Tis true, sadly. Though imagining you as a hamster was fun. Awesomeness.

I love this. It's good to free write on topics every now and then. It's a good way to free ones mind to write about other things. | I usually, once every few weeks sit down and write every single thought that comes into my head. I think of it as "purging the junk" so I can write something worthwhile. It's good to put yourself outside of the box. Put yourself in a different persona. Anyhoo, glad to read. Hope all is well. -Sami | Posted on 2006-08-01 00:00:00 | by Juliets_dagger | [ Reply to This ] | wow thats verry different than anything ive read on this site i like it! | <3 Brittaney-Mae | Posted on 2006-09-06 00:00:00 | by justkillme08 | [ Reply to This ] | Like always, a VERY original post! I love that creative flare of yours! you whip the words around and make them your own.. while impressing everyone on the way. This is very intriquing. I see it as a cinical post. Kindof saying that the human sub-culture does not only comprise of what you have said but a much more complex whole. We need to stop taking the "norm" and making it a stereotype. | Hope this helped. I really love your writing :) Amber | Posted on 2006-08-02 00:00:00 | by PoeticSoul666 | [ Reply to This ] | |
