Time for another silly video. While pandemic cruising the internet I found Elena Faverio…or maybe she found me. She is a performance artist who was doing a fundraiser for Black Arts Futures, an organization that supports artists of color. She was asking writers/performers to write a “playlet” based on responses to her prompts. Kind of like the old Adlibs game we used to play when we were kids. (Remember Adlibs?).

She gave us nine prompts, one at a time, and a few minutes to write in response to each prompt before going on to the next one. Here are the prompts she gave us:

A gift

Did I ever tell you?

An unanswerable question

An unexpected sound

A joke

A simile or a metaphor

You know what they say…

An animal

A race against time

Here is my piece of writing in response to her prompts…very stream of consciousness…Read by yours truly. (I guess I didn’t need to say that as I’m sure you will recognize me.)
