I’ve been doing a ton of songwriting lately. I’m basically trynna frantically get the set down so that I can start to actually memorize the lyrics. That seems to be the hardest part. There a cool looking open mic happening this Sunday which is in only two days. I’ve got all the chords written more or less but not quite all the lyrics, and even once they’re written there’s tons of new lyrics that I wrote yesterday and I gotta write more today. I’m gonna have a hard time memorizing them, and I don’t want to feel stiff when I perform.
I’m so hungry.
A mass of crystals was buried underneath a bridge.
Mike learned this fact after reading about it in a book. He ran downstairs to find his wife.
“Betty! I’ve read about a great mass of crystals underneath the bridge!”
“Which bridge?” She asked.
“The one downtown! Let’s go digging!”
Betty rolled her eyes and stood up from her desk. The two of them put on their shoes and jackets and went out to the shed to grab some shovels.
30 minutes later they were standing beneath the enormous bridge that spanned a wide and turbulent river.
“Where’s it buried?” Asked Betty.
“The book said it was somewhere close to an old ladder.”
“Well there’s a ladder over there,” said Betty, pointing over Mike’s shoulder.
He turned to look. Sure enough there was an old rusty ladder bolted to one of the mighty pillars. The two of them strolled over and began digging.
Four days later, Betty’s shovel collided with something hard. She looked quickly up at Mike. He looked back at her, his eyes wide and bloodshot. They got down on their hands and knees and frantically began brushing away dirt with their fingers.
“Oh my LORD!” Moaned Mike. “It’s an ancient chest! Look at how well preserved it be!”
Betty reached for a crowbar and used it to pry the top open. It was difficult and little bits of rust went flying in every direction.
“Put your back into it!” Ordered Mike. “Let me see some effort!”
“HiiiiiiiYAAHHH!!” Screamed Betty, as the lid popped off with a mighty bang. Betty was sent reeling backwards onto her ass.
Mike looked within the chest. A thousand ruby's sparkled up at him, just as the book had promised.
“We’re rich!” Roared Mike. The two of them lifted the chest out of the pit and drove to McDonald’s to spend their fortune.
