Freewrite: In the Graveyard

Alright, here's the deal with them They call 'em "freewrites". And they're quite fun. What happens is you're given a list of topics or titles to write about and then you have to write for about 3 minutes nonstop. This one caught my eye, they called it In the Graveyard, but gave no other instructions And this is what I made: In the graveyard So, I'm dead. Certainly hope so, in any case or a lot of people are gonna be pissed that they spent so much on that coffin. And that service. Beautiful, the others told me. Shame I can't really go out in the day. Can't for the life (oh, ha-ha) remember what daylight is. It's only been a few days and now a nice full-blown midday is like one of those dreams you get.The ones that you don't want to wake up from, but then you do and you forget everything that happened in the dream. All you do is remember how much you had enjoyed it and how much you had wanted to stay there just a little bit more. Too bad. Still, the company here's not too bad, as far as company go. There are thousands here, so I'm told. Most of them don't like to be distubed though. No rest for the weary, but plenty for the dead. Oh well. I think I'll go to sleep now. It's probably the best option. Maybe I'll dream another one of those middays, whatever they are... .............. I think I'll post more of these in the future, whenever I go on storywrite without any new material. Now time to make some tea, and get on with some proper writing. These things work well for warm up. Ciao
