The first thing I remembered upon awakening was the tears that rolled down my cheek.1
I could not remember my dreams. For as long as I could recall I had not had a dream that I could recall. But nightmares, they were a different story.2
I once heard an older woman say that the best creations in life spring first, sprout from the nightmares that awaken us at night and the ones that remain lingering and replaying in our heads for as long as our eyes are open.3
I had believed her words of wisdom then and I still believed them. Live them. Worshiped them as a last scrap of hope. Hope that my world would go on long after the final word was scrawled across the shabby, tattered pages of my writing pad.4
I wiped my eyes. Smearing the mucus and salty droplets with the back of my hand. Sniffling like a coward.5
It was pathetic to still be laying here in bed, scrunched into a tight ball in the darkness. What good was I going to achieve by laying here sniveling? Awaiting the clouds. The dark spiraling holes and the apocalypse that had jolted me awake.6
It was a sign. A story A world that not only wanted to be created, but had to be created.7
I threw the covers back. trying desperately not to wake anyone in the house who was already sleeping. I had already been warned more than once about my creative habits.8
I switched on the computer and searched for my writing pad. I had no idea where to start or where to end. I wrote, my pen to the page. My mind open. My soul intertwined.9
It was my apocalypse...
Author notes
This is a free-write about the night that the apparition man came to me and how I felt before I started. Where it stemmed from and that very first line that started it all...
Enjoy.

wow! i know this is free-write-real-life, but it's so well written...you should definitely use it for something somewhere.
&good for you, actually getting up in the middle of the night to act on your idea. i have my best ideas then. but i do nothing, go back to sleep&have usually forgotten all by morning. (i blame the quadriplegia, but laziness probably contributes
)

"I had already been warned more than once about my creative habits"
I can totally and completely relate to that line blair. You did a great job on this as you do on everything you write.

This was very well-written and well-constructed for a free-write. I love the end line, because the apocolypse can mean so many different things for different people. If you hate the world, maybe the apocolypse could be a good thing? Maybe...
Great job.

I loved every minute of it. It was short, but powerful. And, to be truthful, that's the kinda stuff I likes!!! xD. I liked it a lot.
