If you could be in any movie, what would it be?

Hawkeye in Fiction

Perchance to Dream

Escapism is a movie's main draw.  How better to escape than in a surreal dream world.  I choose either "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or "Where Dreams May Come".

Together, we can break the world record for longest book. When this challenge gets the necessary number of entries, it will expire and we will turn it into a book. Each entry will be its own chapter. Feel free to build from existing entries or write something radically different.

Through The Peephole

I am going to jump out of my skin, Dear Diary! All night long I can hear them out in the streets. They pound on my door, but I do not move. That is how they get you. I may have brought it on myself by putting the carved pumpkin on the porch and the ghostly cardboard figure on the door, the left eye strategically placed over the peephole. But I've found that it's best to blend in with the neighborhood, and on this particular night, sparkly witch's britches adorning the garage door makes a house less conspicuous, not more. Unable to resist any longer, I pressed my eyeball to the small hole, trying in vain to see who's there, but no figure appeared. They may have been too short. But it's more likely that they were hiding in the bushes, ready to jump out when I let down my guard. You see, there are zombies roaming about. Real ones, not just the mini imitators with strawberry-flavored gel blood on their lips.  

Challenge

Stone-cold

My last meal would be...  the heart of my executioner.

Why does this make me cry?

I dedicate "Say Hey" by Michael Franti to Landru, because I know this one thing.

"Say Hey (I Love You)"

(feat. Cherine Anderson)

(This one goes out to you and yours, worldwide)

I say hey, I'll be gone today

But I'll be back all around the way

It seems like everywhere I go

The more I see, the less I know

But I know one thing

That I love you (baby girl)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I've been a lot of places all around the way

I've seen a lot of joy and I've seen a lot of pain

But I don't want to write a love song for the world

I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl

Junkies on the corner always calling my name

And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games

When I saw you getting down, well, I hope it was you

And when I look into your eyes I knew it was true

I say hey, I'll be gone today

But I'll be back all around the way

It seems like everywhere I go

The more I see, the less I know

But I know one thing

That I love you (baby girl)

I love you, I love you, I love you

Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man

But I know when the stars are aligned you can

Bump into a person in the middle of the road

Look into their eyes and you suddenly know

Rocking in the dance hall moving with you

Dancing in the night in the middle of June

My momma told me don't lose you

'Cause the best luck I had was you

I say hey, I'll be gone today

But I'll be back all around the way

It seems like everywhere I go

The more I see, the less I know

But I know one thing

That I love you (baby girl)

I love you, I love you, I love you

And I say, rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

I say, hey poppa, hey poppa, close to you

Rocking in the dance hall moving with you

I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you

Rocking in the dance hall moving with you

I say, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma

Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma

My momma told me don't lose you

'Cause the best luck I had was you

And I know one thing

That I love you

I say hey, I'll be gone today

But I'll be back all around the way

It seems like everywhere I go

The more I see, the less I know

I say hey, I'll be gone today

But I'll be back all around the way

It seems like everywhere I go

The more I see, the less I know

But I know one thing

That I love you (baby girl)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

(Rocking in the dance hall moving with you

I say, hey poppa, hey poppa

Hey momma, hey momma

Rocking in the dance hall moving with you

Come on, hey poppa, hey poppa)

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you
