WRITING OBSTACLE
Write an internal monologue from the perspective of someone with severe FOMO.
Fear Of Missing Out can drive people to think interesting things...
Aubrey Plaza
I’m tired, but what if Aubrey Plaza shows?
Slim chance she would enter a punk venue;
a DIY in Portland, Maine. Who knows?
Shit…I’ve seen stranger things on the menu.
First band set is over, still no Aubrey.
Yawning, but what if I leave and she comes?
Stay. One more song. Self-respect robbery.
Another song over. Hurt burns. Need Tums.
I might as well stay until it’s over;
I am sure they saved the best band for last.
What if they cover “Crimson and Clover?”
No Aubrey, but that song would be a blast.
I will save the regret for tomorrow
in exchange for missing tonight’s sorrow.
