Cinchonsim

2017-02-28

Exercise for WCC WC

Fictionary – make up a definition for cinchonsim and use it in a story that starts with “The stars were … “

Definition: cinchonism – manifestation according to one’s desires

The stars were forming Jack’s constellations in the night time sky cinchonistically. The Moon added an aura of shimmering silver to the waves lapping the golden sands of the crescent shaped beach. Cinchonism seemed to be working for Jack’s as meditated on the visions perceived through the third eye of his inner being.

Jack toes wiggled in the wet sand as the piece of pineapple coated with poi slid sweetly down his eager throat. Soft drumming sounds came from all directions cinchonismly. The scent of passion penetrated his nose as it rose from the purple, pink, and blue carnations of the lei that lay about his neck.

Confident in sustaining the cinchonism of the present now, Jack pulled the island maiden closer and began to caress her awakening body. As she began to moan, he felt the sand around his feet harden into black lava shackles, the passionate aroma of the lei flowers stank like skunk cabbage. Drum thunder split his ears as he looked into the manical eyes of the horde of Maori warriors hungry for his flesh that circled about him. A terminal wave of dizziness swept upward from his belly as he vomited the putrid sweetness of the poison pineapple. As Jack’s vision darkened, the evening’s bliss faded as his cinchonisming passed from now to then.


It was just another dream.
