Ginning Up an Idea
by Bill Schott
This is an exercise in ginning up ideas with which to expand on. The following is a disjointed, acrostic paragraph that I wrote two minutes ago to help make a point. From these cobbled ideas one might find an angle to pursue.
All brash clients do everything for greatness. Heck, I just killed Lazarus. My nephew owned property. Quiet, respectful. Some tattlers uttered vague whisperings. Xavier yelled, "Zero!"
In this mixture I see The Killing of Lazarus; a countdown that involves a guy named Xavier; and a story about a seemingly proper nephew who has a secret.
I'm going to go with the Lazarus thing.
I killed Lazarus
go ahead -- resurrect him
I'll kill him again
