I actually had a clear enough mind to write today. Well, writing is not exactly what I'd call it. I opened the text editor and started typing until one of the ideas that I ruminated on began to take some form. I didn't finish the story but it is a neat idea.
It is an apocalyptic story but instead of a single cataclysmic event Western Civilization gradually became buried in its own trash. Well that is what it is shaping up to be. I am still just setting the stage and have only one character.
