prompt // i idly ate my cereal as i walked about, a skill i had slowly mastered over the years. glancing out the door, i saw nothing but white.
great, i mumbled while still eating the sweetened wheat puffs. guess i'll not be buying any milk today. that's what happens when you live in northern canada, i suppose.
i continued wandering around the house; up the stairs, back down the stairs, into my office, all while noticing the tremendous amount of frozen water piled about my home. eh, at least it would keep the house warm. one might think snow would chill anything it had encased, but it did quite the opposite, working as a lovely insulator. realizing that i'd been spooning air into my mouth for the last two minutes, i dumped the final few drops of cow juice into my mouth before setting the bowl into the dishwasher. taking a glance at my phone, i proceeded to read about how apparently the monstrous blizzard that has brought all this white powder wouldn't let up until tomorrow. i let out an irritated sigh, as i'd now have no milk for my cereal due to the last of it being in the bowl i had just eaten.
hmph.
seeing as there was nothing else interesting to do, i settled down at my desk to doodle. i watched as plants leapt onto the paper, curling around each other in strange intricate patterns. i never really paid much attention to my art, instead just letting it happen. i suppose you could call it abstract, though i never bothered with labeling styles and all that junk. the snowfall silenced any sounds from outside, leaving me to listen to my soft breathing accompanied with the light rolling sound of the pen. i never bothered with the fancy stuff, my collection of ballpoint pens worked just fine.
i took a quick glimpse at the doodles taking over the thin paper. the loose leaf was nearly covered, my paw instinctively now reaching for a colored pencil. i picked a few greens, blues, and yellows before continuing on, the faint scraping of the lead replacing the trundling of the pen. i slipped into a trance-like state, the thoughts usually buzzing about my head replaced with silence.
after what seemed like both an eternity and a single moment, i called it quits and signed it before placing it into my art binder. sometimes i wondered why i ever bothered with drawing. nobody wants plant-like scribbles, they want proper drawings of their cats and dragons and whatever else. i never could bring myself to quit though, it had wormed it's way into my head, like an irremovable brain tumor. there was no quitting this useless habit.
now bored with drawing, i gave up on doing anything productive. i poured a glass of cold beer before settling on the couch to watch the news. eventually i slipped into sleep, the weatherman's voice lulling me into rest as it had done so many times in the past.
goodnight, frozen world..
