Prompt 32- Goodbye to My Computer
I stand on the red, upturned soil that marks your resting place. My eyes are dry, not because I am not touched by your early departure, but because I have no tears left to give. I was away when the news reached my ears about the accident. It weighs heavily upon my heart that I was not there with you. Was there something I could have done to keep you with me even one more hour? What I would do for that hour. I don't know why I'm saying these things to you, you can't hear me anymore. Oh, I loved you with a passion born of some celestial power. Where will my life take me now that the center of it is gone? Will I spiral into the depths of some deep abis? Will I reside as a recluse, unable to love and be loved? I will clutch every memory with you. I will cherish thoughts of our intimicy, friendship, life, and even our quarrels will be a pleasant thought. If you could hear me I would tell you about how much I love you. I would tell you how I would do anything just to see your smile. I would tell you of a place where we will never part. If you could hear me I would tell you about all the times I didn't say, "I love you," because those words couldn't contain the feelings I had. If you could hear... oh, if only you were here.
Generation Representation--Prompt 31
For many people, the passage of time reduces history to a series of oversimplified images and ideas. We associate the 1950's with prosperity and conservatism; the 1960s with social upheaval, experimentation, and war; the 1970s with self-examiniation; the 1980s with prosperity and decadence. How do you think history will reduce the events of your generation? What will people associate with your generation in the future?
Honestly I don't think that my generation has made that many accomplishments, at least not good ones. When I think of my generation I think of a bunch of punk kids who have figured out how to listen to satanic music and posion themselves with large doces of caffine and still not die Also, I believe that this world is not going to last long and there wont be anytime for remembering what we are right now. If it turns out that there is I know that I will remeber this as a time of severe social, economic, emotional, mental, and spiritual depravity. I hope that it doesn's last much longer.
