And what about the FOOD inside your refrigerator?
If we are what we eat then the refrigerator is the grand repository of
our dreams of who we will become. Every fridge is the mini museum of natural
history of those who use it. Refrigerators are a subject that goes straight
to the heart (and stomach) of the human condition. Share with us your
stories about your relationship with your refrigerator and the food that
is or isn't inside.
RULES for Refrigerator Moment Story Telling:
- A refrigerator must be a predominant character,
theme or geographic location in the story.
- Must have a STORY STRUCTURE and include
conflict and resolution.
- Stay within 5 minutes.
Don't cut it too close because we'll cut you off when you go over five
minutes.
