The Word Game
Alrighty, day two and I'm already feeling excited! Next step, please, sensei??
"Choose three words from the map and make sixty such triads."
Why does all this seem so simple, yet it's all seeming so complicated? That was what was running through my mind as I sat in front of the mind maps I created and chose three words that came to my attention first:
Old lady. Soccer. Raindrops.
Hmmm.... okay.... now for fifty nine more triads! How hard can it be?
It just seemed like I had found a worthy opponent. I sat up all night, but was unable to make even ten triads! However, luck shone on me like a fortune, and by the time I got to college, I had managed to chock up thirty nine triads.
Luck was my worst enemy.
The page that had the latter fifteen of my words was missing!
Okay, I think I gotta make do with only twenty four... I thought, as I approached class, where everyone was squatted against the floor, racking their brains for words, just as I had.
Sensei told us that now that we had the triads ready, we had to proceed onto the next step.
What will I do with empty words? I thought, as he said:
"You need to connect each triad to form a story."
Damn, can this get any worse?
