What can YOU say in six sentences?
1. I remember wanting to push my brother back into my mother’s uterus when he was born.
2. I remember wanting to be friends with the most popular girl in junior high school but being told I was not cute enough.
3. I remember my first kiss; unfortunately it was an old man—a receptionist in my doctor’s office who asked for a hug and then stuck his tongue in my mouth.
4. I remember vomiting on my first date.
5. I remember getting a job teaching after college and being told by one of the students that she had more fun having her cavities filled at the dentist than sitting in my class.
6. I remember thinking—to hell with everyone—I’ll do and say whatever I want.

lol, I just re read #4: you meant ON the poor guy, not on the date WITH him...
@Gita- If I had 12 or 18 remebrances, I'd have a short story.
Comment by Bill Floyd on July 2, 2012 at 10:57am Another expansion of the possibilities in this challenge. Also sounds like the narrator could wind up being a real prime mover type of original thinker...or a spree killer.
I d guess, # 3 (old men being what they are, oh yeah) with # 5 a close second. Students tend to forget that teachers are real.
Comment by Justine Dunn on July 2, 2012 at 7:33am I sincerely hope it's not number 3! I'm guessing 4.
Actually--one of these is true and it's ot #6. Can you guess?
Comment by Justine Dunn on July 2, 2012 at 7:09am If we're what our pasts make us, high-five to number 6!
Fiction. Scary fiction. It's a very believable account of a person's fear evolving to rage and a sense of entitlement. This is how it happens, wanting to be special but never feeling so, taking what they felt entitled to either by intimidation or domination, "I'll do and say whatever I want." Excellent imagining.
