Prompt #3 asks me to write what I think 10 random words should mean. I used a site called Creative Random Words to generate the list.
Bra could barely contain herself. She sat on the little plastic chair and stared at those around her. Her smile was broad. She suppressed a million giggles. She was home at last.
The guy sitting next to her was named Ridge. Ridge is a pretty cool name, but his real name, he admitted, was Porridge. Porridge Johnson. His mom used to like the story of the Three Bears. She thought he'd be a girl who she'd name Goldilocks, but it didn't work out that way. He wished she'd named him Bear.
Coat and Cat Holliman were brother and sister. They were actors when they could find work. Cat worked more often, since her name was cooler. Coat was trying to put together the paperwork to change his name. He thought maybe he'd like to be "Dog."
While Bra was waiting around for the meeting, she chatted with a guy whose parents met waiting for the crosstown express. He was a skinny guy with a beard and a mullet. Bus Stop McCoy. For real.
Diver Davidson's father was in the Navy back in Korea. Shoehorn Drake's grandfather lost a bet. Who needed to ask Bible Joy Peterson what her mother did for a living? Joke Calahan's dad thought his mom was kidding. Mast Menendez wasn't sure where his folks got the idea for his name; they were all from Kansas.
So it was that when the meeting started, Bra lept to her feet and shouted, "I can't believe I found a group with a whole room full of people like me! People who love Jar-Jar Binks! I've seen Star Wars Episode 1 about 100 times!"
