David Lynch Fiction Prompt

I love David Lynch's work. I wouldn't say I'm an expert on it or anything--or even that I've seen everything he's ever done--but I greatly respect the man because I feel like he's someone who has true vision, style, and an incredibly unique point of view. Sometimes, this means I have no idea what on God's green earth is going on in his movies. But, like I said, I respect that.

Yesterday, I saw this tweet from him:

You must be able to get to NYC on your own to win.

I scrolled down a bit and realized that he was tweeting about a contest. However, for some reason, that tweet on its own really struck me as what could be a great beginning to a very Lynchian short story.

So I thought, why not make it one? This is where you come in, too! Use Mr. Lynch's tweet as the first line of a short story or poem, 150 words or less. See if you can embody some of Lynch's unique surreal/horror/dark comedy point-of-view in your work. And then post what you come up with in the comments below! I'll post mine too a bit later on in the day.

Show me what you got, you crazy, cool, creative people.
