A Slice

Here’s how I know the internet gives you brain rot:

I booted my laptop with the sole purpose of hopping on Discord to copy/paste the grocery list for tonight’s homemade pizzas.

Before I made it to Opop’s ingredient-laden message, however, I skimmed the channels; Canadian Olympian international fugitive news? Check. Invader Zim discussion? Check. Meme about pizza? Check.

“Mmm,” I thought, “I could really go for some pizza tonight, I wonder if we should or-”

And it was then that I remembered why I had booted this digital Lament Configuration in the first place.

I’m off to the grocery store.

The output may be diverted into different pools lately, (you didn’t hear me say “Mulligan novel”,) but every day I still find myself staring at blank white space where 500-or-so words should be. Some days the fiction just flows, and some days it takes a little coaxing.

Sometimes, however, the flow happens suddenly at 1:32am, when I’m already half-asleep, and I have to convince myself to get out of bed to scratch out some notes.

The bed is so warm, and the room is so hushed, and surely I wouldn’t forget such a great idea?

Except, of course, that daylight always rinses my brain entirely clean, and by dawn I’ve generally not only forgotten the idea, but that I ever even had one.

So, two nights ago I dragged myself out of bed. I remembered that much because today, while locked in a staring contest with Google Docs, I recalled that I’d had some supposedly brilliant idea.

But what was it?

I genuinely can’t recall.

Yet, I won the battle that night, so I know that, within the notebook I can see on the table just in front of me, there are some jottings that may break this case wide open.

Or will the idea be dream-brained nonsense?

Let’s find out.

* * *

First Impression: It’s a lot more text than I remember scribbling.

Second Impression: This is a pretty workable idea for an upcoming Urban Legend episode. Oddly enough, it’s very much inspired by straddling that borderland between being awake and asleep.

I guess we’ll be hearing from The Tiny Radio as soon as The Outsiders have finished getting into trouble.

(- and, frankly, I think I’ll also be a little more motivated to de-cozy myself the next time a late night idea strikes.)
