Grex Writing Item 138: *Late Last Night and the Night Before, Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers...*
Entered by fraizer on Mon Apr 17 17:25:50 UTC 1995:

Hear the voices go
Hear the voices go
     Thru m'head
     Thru m'head
My
Head left channel right channel my
Head
Check one two
Check one two
Can't stop the voices
Can't stop the flow
                   My voices...
My voices aren't my voice
My voice is not the voices
I have no
I have no choice
     No voice
     No voice so I make some up
     I make them up...
     I...
Don't matter much
Not much, don't matter at all, not much
But I won't manage
I can't manage alone
Can't
Alone

        This was inspired by, but not neccessarily about, Stephen King's
novel _The Tommyknockers_. If you've read it you'll understand it in that
sense. If you haven't read it, you may understand it in a different sense.
That's o.k., too.

Hmm..I have never seen Tommyknockers, but I got the chaotic tremors, yes.
Rather interesting, makes me want to have a headache. *wink*

I've read.  I understand.  What would you do if you heard voices?  What do you
think would happen if the story came true?

 I kept heraing theses voices in the back of my head that weren't mine...

What do you mean "what if" we had voices? 
We all have voices in our heads. They are how we make decisions.
"Should I? Shouldn't I?" There's two different voices right there.
