A215 Big Red Book Activity 1.4 (2)

I bring you yet another Freewrite of mine. I really like these and find that the words flow pretty easy. Clustering on the other hand to me, simply bores me and wastes my time slightly. I think its a good idea if you have a plot and are stuck for ideas, but to just do them for the sake of it, well I don’t see the point for myself.
Anyway, let me know what you think of this piece. All comments are greatly appreciated.


***Coffee, toast and three paracetamol…that was the menu for the next few days. We’d recieved ‘The Call’ and chaos become the order of the day. Worry and panic over-rode the excitement of a new year. Everything looked the same yet there was an electrifying shockwave of panic and discord. It wasn’t a national disaster, but if people didn’t calm down, it could be detrimental to the report.
The panic was understandable, and I was highly sympathetic, yet I couldn’t help feeling slightly excited to know that all our talents could be utilised and praised. I had a clear impression that I was not joined in this feeling by anyone else. It was to be my very own secret thrill.
As the hours passed by, toast was knocked off the menu, along with any other form of nutrition. Caffeine and paracetamol was to be our saving companions. Somehow running around like headless chickens managed to complete preparations by approximately sseventy percent. Displays were preened, organisation and planning became automatic applications. Suddenly we all knew what the idyllic plan was to be. ‘Idyllic’ was the wish word. Fingers crossed.
D-day arrived and went just as quickly as we’d recieved the call. It wasn’t a brilliant outcome but it was done. Like a hurricane sweeping through a panic ridden city that was once calm and tranquil, the clear up would now begin. It wasn’t until the following week that the effects of that figurative hurricane came to be found. It was now time for a double dose of coffee, toast and three paracetamol. ***

This was written as a direct response to an incident that I was involved in over that past two weeks at work.
