Tigers Love Tomatoes

Some say dreams are prime creative real estate, so I am attempting to tap into my “creative-dream-engine’ by taking elements of my dreams and using them for story ideas. So for my first story I will take last nights’ dream and write it in a more cohesive story format. Here goes:

So there I was, in college, when I inadvertently won a dance contest. The reward for winning the contest was presented to me by Flava-Flav on live TV or, more accurately, was presented to me by Flava-Flav THROUGH the television set. As I drove with my family of face-less, brother-like characters to an unknown location, I realized Flava-Flav gave me the ‘boy’ prize instead of the ‘girl’ prize. After my fuzzy-faced brother showed me how to use my toy airplane called a ‘Maverick’, I grew happy. Finally we got to the hotel, where we realized the tiger sleeping in the corner only woke up when we touched the tomatoes in our salads.

Yes, I think I like this story. I will surely do this from now, ON.
