Grab Bag #1

So for those of you who don't know. The assignment was 20 minutes timed and to use the words flash, starlight, alligator, nectar, sponge, and soda!!!


In a flash the time capsule moved through the starlight so fast that Lola could barely breathe. She turned her head to the right and seemed to watch time slow down on the small television screen there. Without another word she turned to the left and looked at Andrew as he moved with a purpose, working the knobs on the vast dash of the machine. Had she really thought this through? Should she have told him she was pregnant? At this point the baby looked like a small alligator in her body and the strange cravings where driving her crazy. Whenever she went to the store and asked for strawberry nectar the clerk looked at her like she was SpongeBob SquarePants. This trip was supposed to be quick yet it seemed like they had been here for hours she would kill at this point for a diet coke and soda crackers. Then he yelled “were here, Lola are you awake?” She answered him like she was in a tunnel then she saw the way he was staring at her belly, damn, she thought I should have told him. He had said there were only going 3 month into the future and they really hadn’t known if it would affect those inside the capsule, guess they had their answer to that question now huh? Damn! This was going to be a difficult experiment now he was going to be asking her if she was okay instead of how that affected the control group. Fuck! Fuck! This was shitty this was what happened when you spent too much time working on one project. Finally, he said something, “Lola when were you going to tell me? Is it mine?? There it was the universal question and how was she going to answer it deep breath, nope nothing there nothing smart to say on the tip of her tongue. Damn here goes yes it’s yours genius where else could I have gotten it
