what do you think would happen if a nuclear missile was ACCIDENTLY DROPPED onto your house? What do you think would happen to your neighbors? The wording here is very important.

since you didn't say armed nuclear missile, i'm picturing donnie darko. i'm sitting in bed. i get smushed by a nuclear missile that does not go boom because it was not told to go boom. then the air force comes over, police tapes my house, steals my weed and my collection of vintage lacy underthings, also knocks over my spoon collection for fun, then leaves. my widow has a puddle of me, the splinters of a bed, a hole in the roof and a spoon collection to clean up and doesn't even get to keep a nuclear weapon. what a country.

Jesus that was an enjoyable read. And yeah, the lack of it being armed was the idea that I was trying to get across. Do you write short stories by any chance? I used to read a ton of r/writing_prompts

i wish i could. i'm an oral storyteller. i've tried to get into the written word and die around 50 pages every time. nah, my legacy will be my music.

Ever thought about doing short stories? I think they'd suit you. Especially a macabre horror comedy. No pressure though, just figured I'd suggest it if you're interested :)

I think i fall into Douglas Adams' trap. I can write a scene but I don't have a good plot in me. Collaborative efforts help, like that one time my friends and I wrote a screenplay about 80s hair metal vampires (we were mad at twilight. it will never get made because it hinged on David Bowie being alive. vampires don't sparkle they get GUITARS)
