The tiny cuts on my toes ache like I’ve poured salt in them. Which I kind of have. Whoever convinced me that running barefoot through the forest and then swim in the cold, salty sea afterwards was a good idea? I guess that’s the sort of thing you do when you travel to a solitary house in the middle of the woods to figure out the meaning of your existence. I’m going to get a cold.

And as I sit here telling tales to the flames in the fireplace and thinking about Absinthe, the cat not the liqueur, with Brandy next to me, the drink not the girl, I conclude, lazily, that I exist merely to ask myself why I do just that.

It's random. It took 15 minutes. Blame ~ohfever. I quite like it. and this is the list of words:


Salt
Swim
Absinthe
toes
travel
existence

I figured I liked it so much that I'll let it be an ordinary deviation, just for the sake of it.

I absolutely love that last line.

^^ omg are you really doing that?? and... lol well if you are, it's wonderful because you learn to be with yourself. I don't know how you feel about it, but the way i see it, is that you don't have to feel lonely when being alone if you have yourself. If you acknowlege your presence, you can be your own friend :D. You'll never feel alone hahaha. It's great.

Not doing anything like that now, but I have been known to do similar things (often at random) :)

The ideas and imagery are really good. It has a slightly mystical feel to it which is what I like.

One thing I would consider revising is the use of passive language- there are places where it slips into 'youspeak' and not storytelling. This also may help when considering sentance structure too.

A great job, especially considering the limited length. I like the bit about the cat and the girl (no, wait... the drink! ;))
