Mirage Motel: 1952-1988

AKA; Glass Pool Inn: 1988-2003

Demolished 2004

In 1955 the Mirage Motel pool was built in order to stand out and possibly draw passing motorists to the motel. The pool was 26 ft. wide, 55 ft. long and 9 feet deep. It held 54,000 gal. of shimmering blue water which gleamed with a fluid and tempting light… A wondrous oasis that enticed hot, tired travelers through seven, four foot wide portholes. A fantastic site after a long day of driving through the blistering heat of the Mojave Desert. The pool did exactly what it was supposed to do and in the process became an american icon.

The Sea

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:15:00 -0400

When I was young, I misunderstood the Sea. She seemed to me to be a brash and unpredictable foe. A selfish, merciless Fury that drowns. I found her presence to be too vast and overwhelming. I could likely never have said it out loud, for fear of repercussions in dreams, but I loathed her. She would let things happen and reacted at times with irrational force.

As I grow up and have let torrents overtake me, I have come to understand. Allowing herself to be taken with the tides, she is an unfettered being who thrives fairest after a squall.

This child of the moon changes the tides unceasingly and, to the untrained eye, imperceptibly. However, these changes can quickly turn into a surge the wrath of which would tear down even the strongest of character. To put it mildly, she can be very hard to handle. In quiet moments of doubt and insecurity, she is easiest to blame as she is a volatile presence in life.

Now, in my dreams, I return to her as home - the constant of my life. I am never be truly far from the thing which is nurtured inherently in me. I easily sympathize with this capricious, unfathomable Character. I dive in this most-beloved Ocean often.

from “Thirteen Writing Prompts” by Dan Wiencek, via McSweeney’s Internet Tendency:

1.

Write a scene showing a man and a woman arguing over the man’s friendship with a former girlfriend. Do not mention the girlfriend, the man, the woman, or the argument.

2.

Write a short scene set at a lake, with trees and shit. Throw some birds in there, too.

3.

Choose your favorite historical figure and imagine if he/she had been led to greatness by the promptings of an invisible imp living behind his or her right ear. Write a story from the point of view of this creature. Where did it come from? What are its goals? Use research to make your story as accurate as possible.

4.

Write a story that ends with the following sentence: Debra brushed the sand from her blouse, took a last, wistful look at the now putrefying horse, and stepped into the hot-air balloon.

5.

A wasp called the tarantula hawk reproduces by paralyzing tarantulas and laying its eggs into their bodies. When the larvae hatch, they devour the still living spider from the inside out. Isn’t that fucked up? Write a short story about how fucked up that is.
