Stream Of Consciousness Story

[Byzantine]

We wrote a few of these in my sophomore year of high school. Just add a sentence to the story. It's pretty fun to see where these things end up.

 

I'll start. Sentence one:

 

 

Once upon a time there was a hedgehog named Mr. Jones whose best friend was a gecko named Newton.

[MIKolbe]

Newton wrote a song; Me And Mrs. Jones.

[Nihil Obstat]

Newton was a notorious heretic who rejected the Church's teachings on the necessity of confession and the efficacy of a priest's absolution.

[arfink]

He'd also been sleeping with Mrs. Jones, which makes no sense because he's a gecko, but stuff happens.

[Nihil Obstat]

Unsavoury though he may be, Newton truly has a heart of gold. In reality, he is possessed by a demon who causes him to commit terrible acts of fornication and heresy.

[arfink]

This demon had entered into him during a night in which he consumed an entire 10lb bag of gummy bears in one sitting.

[AnneLine]

He was seduced into eating the gummy bears; Mrs. Jones wasn't around when he NEEDED her, so....

[arfink]

Mrs. Jones was his cook, and that night he was supposed to have lamb, but she never came, and all he had in the cupboard was a giant bag of gummy bears.

[Nihil Obstat]

And a single ginger root.

[AnneLine]

In attempt to reform his life, Mr. Newton decided to take up piano and become a lounge lizard.

[jazzytakara]

Unfortunately, life as a lounge lizard did not pay well; thus, poor Newton had to resort to unsavory side jobs to make ends meet. 

[arfink]

Since a savory job was out of the question, he decided to sell sweets, specifically gummy bears.

[Nihil Obstat]

And sometimes ginger.

[PhuturePriest]

Newton did his best to craft his life after his greatest role model: the Geico Gecko. He spent all his life perfecting the accent, and he was loved by all for his now-natural accent.

[Luigi]

Stream of consciousness writing is extremely overrated. There have been only two or three people who have done it well. If the writer  does not have a very evolved consciousness, then the stream of her/his consciousness is not worth reading. It's like watching a sewer flow instead of watching a river flow. 

 

The only benefit to stream of consciousness writing in schools is to help hesitant writers get over their fear of the blank page. I think Phatmassers should be beyond that by now. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the real world, the only benefit of stream of consciousness writing is to propagate lameness.
