National Drunk Writing Night 5th November 2011

(What I wrote after a whole bottle of unidentifiable Hungarian liquid that had probably gone off, by the taste of it. My subconscious is a strange place.)

I don't know what to write but will keep just writing
whatever comes to mind
It's national drunk writing night
and Guy Fawkes night
and the anniversary of time travel kinda

Once upon a time there was a chemical reaction
everything smelled like a night club
in a nice way
not that sweaty way
but that a bit
dusty smell you get
It's probably the smell of that smoke stuff actually that I'm thinking off

I really love the smell of that smoke stuff

The chemical reaction was mostly green
and it span over the whole world
over all the oceans
everywhere

but there was some purple as well
and other colours
all more neon than the next

The whole world was completely dark

except for the chemical reaction that happened everywhere at the same time

and it was very bright

and lit everything up

there was smoke

and the Earth was a giant night club with flashing lights
people, everywhere, confused or scared or just not caring anymore
smoke, that nice smoke stuff
filled the air everywhere
Nothing really mattered anymore
because there was nothing more left to be done



And from space it looked really pretty

No one was looking from space at the moment though because they had other things to worry about and the Earth didn't really interest them mch at all

(Which is understandable given that the people on Earth didn't really care much about the people in space much either because they had something big to worry about at the moment(

The chemical reaction
it went everywhere
and many died
and many cried
but most smiled

It was pretty

Like fireworks
or fireflies
or any of those fire things really

The chemical reaction covered the earth
A bit like veins
or roots
in the atmosphere

and it neededa lot of air
not much was left

Where did it start
no one knows
or why
or when excatly

But it was the last thing anyone ever saw
So no one really cared

People swayed
from side to side
and back
and forth
and back again

The leaned on each other
although most fell
Because they thought someone was to their right
when they were to their left
and vice versa

And then they just lay back
on the ground
looking at the mostly green
but a bit purple
lights above them
It was breath-takingly beautiful
quite literally
since people were running out of oxygen


They lay down
wherever they happened to be
in the kitchen
or in the hall
or on the field
or fresh grass
that smelled like rain

Not the country rain smell but the rain in the city
that's polluted
but still nice
the urban rain smell

The chemical reaction
it killed us all
But it was so beautiful

No one really minded
