Metaphorical fire

Free-writing Prompt for English 207: Make a shopping list of literal items to be used in setting a metaphorical fire. Then, write a recipe for said metaphorical fire.

---

1 ream, typewriter paper
ink
100 pounds coffee beans
1 camera battery
1 box tripod screws
1 can paint (shiny)
10 gowns and suits (assorted, height of glamour)
wigs (several)

Insert paper into typewriter. Eject screenplay. Drink coffee as needed. Place battery in camera (you should already have this) and film everything. Place the camera on the tripod & film everything. Paint the town gold. Insert your friends & loved ones into the gowns & suits (height of glamour). Place the especially dour friends & loved ones in wigs (fright or otherwise.) Make them act for you. Set the world on fire with your low-budget deconstruction of young ruban life in postmodern Information Age America. Profit.

Comments:
I enjoy this. I moves between a reality for me and the words within the page and so I am confused as to whether I am still in my head or interacting with people.
