Science Fiction Story 1 Start.

Daniel Sledman walked quickly down the street. He always walked swiftly, even when he wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere. Although, these days, that never happened - the not being in a hurry bit. His life was comprised almost completely of missions. Whether it was going to the DMV to get his license renewed, picking up something at the store, heading home after work, he was always in a rush to get to the next thing. Not like when he was younger and more care-free with his time. That was all going to change for him, just as soon as he finished this mission he was on. He was getting ready to check out of the rat race, once and for all, if they let him.

As he strode past the florist on 6th Street and Howard Ave, he looked up at the office buildings above. The sun glinted off the windows on the 8th floor and nearly blinded him from being able to see the steel structure. Atop that building was the logo of his company, 'Reli Corp'. Every afternoon, Daniel delivered the cooler to 10th Street by 2PM. It was 1:30 now and he was early as usual. As he walked, the cooler rubbed against his pant leg, the biohazard sticker worn from the constant friction.

In the Beginning

I've wanted to get back into my creative side for such a long time, and it was initially why I began my blog. However, my blog has turned more into my blah-g and I'm no more creative than when I began.

So, just like anything else you do and try to get good at, accountability is important. I figure that if I'm going to restart trying to write, I should do it publicly and maybe that will push me to be more proactive in getting down to it.

Enjoy my creative writing - it will be rough draft quality and the ideas will likely be scattered as free writing can be. But if you enjoy it, I'd love to hear about it.
