Final Scrabble Plan |
the final Scrabble writer’s cramp 36 Joe Lewis woke up with ten strangers From around the world In front of a table Where a Scrabble game was displayed. The alien spoke up Saying that the ten people Were randomly selected To play this game. Each player would get one chance To play a word that would become real. Chinese played Chaos Donald Trump won the election. Korean played Lotto And won One billion dollars in the US. German played storm The worst storm in history hit the world. Nigerian played scam Turning into a Nigerian scam artist on line. Brazlian played Dance And the world broke out in a mass dance. French played orgy And the world wide dance turned into an orgy. Russian played Vodka And everyone on earth drank vodka. Japanese played God And God appeared everywhere. Arab played Israel War eruppted across the mideast. And Joe played Nuclear And the world ended in nuclear war. The organizer thanked everyone And they were returned To the post- apoclaypse in progress. On Jan 19, 1955, the board game Scrabble debuted. For tomorrow, write a story or poem set during a Scrabble game ... with the twist that, each time a word is added, it becomes 'real' in some way. Feel free to make that 'reality' either immediately obvious or fairly subtle - or anything in between. For example, if someone plays the word 'fish', an enormous trout might drop into the room without explanation, or suddenly there's an aquarium in the living room that everybody but the one player thinks has always been there, or merely that a truck from the local fishery drives past outside. |
