So this was a fun thing I did for a very short while. The idea was to improve my writing skills the same way one improves their fittnes, by exercise. The aim was not style or phrose, but to be able to write on demand, instead of waiting for inspiration to come. To develope the writing muscle, so to speak. The methodology was simple enough: go to random sentence generator, generte a random sentence (duh), and write a short story based on what said sentence was about. Pretty straight forward.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of issues in the execution. First of all, it took me about 2 hours to write such a story, which was waay too long. I know, I know, the aim would have been to reduce this time through the exercise, but this initial time investment was just too much. Second, I had not disciplen and was not consistent at it (both statements held true today as well). As such, after 3 short stories, my resolve got spent and the exercise got abandoned. It was still a good ide though.

Anyway, the reason why I put this all out here is that I was convinced that those 3 stories have made it here and when I realized that they did not I decided that they need to be here. But given their nature, they also needed some foreword as well. And now you have it 🙂
