I’m supposed to submit some pages to my critique group today for our next session. Had nothing. Thought I‘d try a 10-minute timed writing with the prompt, “I remember…”

Because she's always known me as an atheist, a friend was surprised to hear that I once attended a Pentecostal church and spoke in tongues. I wrote a little piece about it. It's my first attempt at memoir essay. I hope you enjoy it!

In high school, I wrote a seven-pager on The Scarlet Letter the day before it was due, having read only the Mad Magazine version of the book + listened to class discussion. Got an A-.
I wrote a 10 page dialogue between Socrates and Nietzsche at 3 am the day it was due that my philosophy professor loved so much he gave me an A++ and to this day I have no idea what I got right about it
I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
