This is an idea I picked up from another user (Kitty3Tree) on WritersMafia, another favorite site of mine.

I will post a "snippit", a written work just a few lines long. then you should write a snippet that relates to the one the person before you posted.

Like changing channels on the television , but the channels are all loosely related

So, here goes:


Mallory and I sat and smoked in her bedroom, talking about nothing. I got up and left the room to stretch my legs. I stood at the top of the stairs, thinking about if I should confess everything to her. Suddenly, I felt a forceful shove from behind. I whirled one-eighty to see Mallory grinning with malice.

...I threw out my hands in a wild attempt to catch myself as I tumbled down the polished, mahogany steps. I lay at the bottom of the stairwell with a dull pain in my neck and the blood pumping furiously in my veins.

I sat up slowly as she came to a halt before me, the tops of her knee-high boots just level with my eyes.

lost in Arizona
Drawing the small camping axe from her
purse, she laughed and said, "Now I know."
Putting her hand up to stop the blow, Kathy
was left with a bloody stump, severing the
hand at the wrist. The second blow split
Kathy's head open, as she slump to the floor.
"Now," Mallory said wedging the axe free
of Kathy's forehead. Wiping the axe on the drapes, Mallory
slipped the axe back in her designer purse,
and latching it closed said, "Danny will be all mine
again."

"CUUUUUUT!" A voice yelled from behind a curtain. "That was awful! I told you to have conviction! Jesus Christ! All right, we're gonna take a break for now... Back in twenty!"

The director hopped off of his chair and slid across the room, finishing his coffee and crushing the cup in his hand. "Actors... Actors!"
