I drove.
High School thought English inside Friday.
General tossed Motors.
Asian Dragon remembered Cafe without Christmas.
Chestnut Street relaxed
Pizza Hut.
Stallone stunk Pacino into Italian.
Freaky recalled Friday.
Quaker saw Marine below Corps.
Sometime predicted If.

Part 2: Psych paper cut up
First, I took part of a psychology paper about women and Dependant Personality Disorder put it thought the Lazarus Cut-Up. The text was cut up (4 words per strip), transgenderized (both ways) and rasta racked. I then cut up the text in the link Cut Ups Self Explained (4 columns).

Part 3: The Story so far...
I was looking for a juicy story to play with, so I let the story solitaire create one for me. Not sure what I want to do with it yet.
hungry for human contact, he prowls the night...
in the instant of discovery, a thin cry breaks from her lips and her hands flutter up to cover her face...
quicker than the eye can see...
she kicks out, twisting her body in an effort to escape...
rich, goodlooking young man wishes to be in touch...
in her bleak unpeopled landscape, she dreams his pale hands, the beauty of his tapering fingers...
he listens to the silence, separating the silence of solitude from the silence of shared expectation...
a flicker of light discovers her face...
in the grip of confusion and despair, he returns to where they met...
he glides quietly among the ghostly buildings...
as he slips through the night, her thoughts unfold in him...
sometimes a stain the color of wet blood seems to spread out across his restless hands...
the landscape is vast and cold and lonely...
he desperately reaches out for her but...
she has dreamed this dream...
among the abandoned brick buildings with their shattered windows, their rusted and broken fire escapes...
the hands of deception...
now her shadow appears in his dreams...
she will tell his fate...
echoey voices pursue him...
an eerie dark emptiness reigns...
the hands of miracle...
a milky twilight settles over the city. tall buildings become ghostly shadows...
he dreams a young woman of wealth and beauty...
she imagines a twin as cerebral and conscious as she is open and spontaneous...
she slips away...
