Where some see doors, others hear voices. And just as doors can be either opened or closed, voices too, can be listened too or ignored. And in either scenario, every once in a great while, a person can have that glimpse backward, one just long enough as to realize that they will never return to the bad old world…
That was where this week’s Friday Fictioneer prompt took me, and here is the hundred plus words that resulted from that train of thought. I hope you enjoy…

Justin… I can’t stand it anymore, the jumble-fuzzy goin’ on up in me ‘ead. It’s too noisy, a right muffled-roar cacophony, it is.
C’mon, you’ve gotta get yerself outta there, is what.
Outta where?
Outta your ‘ead, is what. You’ve a bad case of listening too much to yer own voices, mate, n’ not nearly enough to others.
What others?
Yer friends. Yer tribe. Yer voices of reason. Y’know, all them blokes what tells you how nice n’ good n’ beautiful on the inside you is.
Oh… But they’re just being nice.
Right they are! And why’dya think they’d be doing that, then?
Hmmm. Supposin’ it’s maybe they be taking a shine to me?
The real You, they do!
Justin… Are they right in doin’ so?
I suppose you’ll never know, not until you do likewise.

Yes. That too.

The Clash may have been the only band that really mattered, but NMA is the only band that never sucked.
Even 27 + years later, my friend.
Dear Troy,
My speakers are broken. Nice dialect. That must have been hard to sustain. Good job.
Aloha,
Doug
Let’s just say that he ends up doing pretty well for himself Doug. And thank you, but I cheat you see, as I say aloud the conversations while writing them. They’re more fun to write that way.
Dear Troy,
Personally, I listen to the voices and write whatever they tell me. ;) Nice one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Much thanks Rochelle – let’s hope those voices say more nice things than not!
Great voices and dialect… I could never do that.. kudos
Thank you so much Bjorn! But as I told Doug, I sort of cheat by reading aloud =)
I’ve never heard this song or of this band.
I like it. Thanks.
If you liked that one, you should definitely check out their other material as well. As my friend Petro said above, they are the only band who never sucked.
wonderful work with dialect and pacing
Thanks Lance – you know how much I love the ones where I basically just get to have a chat with someone =]
This is so good my sweet. So damn good. Have I ever told you that your writing is brilliant?
Love, Renee
