Stream of Consciousness: Ebony

Prompt: Take 5 minutes to write a stream of consciousness

(Note: this isn't nearly as cool or fun on a computer as on paper with a host of gel pens, but I'll try my best, ne? My object is going to be my cat, because she's what's sitting in front of me at the moment)

Ebony
Black cat
evil?
demon
bad luck - personally, I think this is stupid. I've been living with her for a while and she hasn't cursed me yet....
green eyes
cute - okay, I think she's cute, no one agrees with me
likes me
hates everyone else - she tried to bite my cousin's nose. In my personal opinion, Cassie deserved it. I wouldn't like it if someone stuck their massive, giant face in mine either.
small - runt of the litter... cute though
fat - sadly, yes, she is fat, poor baby
Mini - other cat, larger cat - it's interesting to note that Mini's name came from how small she was when we adopted her. I could hold her in one palm.
lack of coordination in kittens - both of my cats ran into doorframes as kittens. I think it may have caused minor brain damage
psychotic
schizophrenia - my sister's cat definitely seems schizophrenic. Why else would she jump at nonexistent shadows on the walls? It's really creepy. Mom thinks she sees bugs on the ceiling; I'm not convinced. I think she's just--
crazy - but my cat's not crazy. she's just--
temperamental
picky
lazy - thus the fatness, ne? I should force her to exercise, but she doesn't like to--
play - we used to have this little yarn string with colored hairties on it. We would use it as a cat-toy and call it "fruit-loops" after that disgusting cereal brand. That was back before my cat was--
declawed - Mom would never allow a "clawed" cat in the house. We have leather furniture in the basement. I swear if she got her way my cat would be bald, but she's--
not bald - she's a black cat with a little white dot on her chest. Maybe that's why I haven't been--
cursed - Ne, my cat isn't cursed, I swear!

Five minutes are up. I'm sorry if this is hard to follow. I made it up as I went. Actually, this was a pretty fun exericise. I quite enjoyed it. Perhaps I'll pick a new subject tomorrow if I don't find a more interesting prompt. Well, anyway... I should be going to sleep about now even though I'm not getting up as early as I usually do. Goodnight!

  1. This was a really cool writing exercise. I bet it helps a lot when starting to write a paper when you just have to start writing what you are thinking. I enjoyed hearing about your cat and the different words you used to describe her.
