A Distinct Lack of Inspiration

satyapriyaA new friend has requested of me a brand new story by the next time we catch up. Ulp. That's only another week away. And I got nothing.
I feel like I'm straining to look at a Magic Eye painting, without any knowledge of what I'm supposed to do to see the hidden picture.
I've been desperately scrabbling at the world today, asking anything and everything to inspire me.
Dear Viking Exhibit and Melbourne Museum: come at me. Surely those brooches...
Vegie Bar: you got any interesting posters up? Hmm, no, you've gone all hipster.
Facebook: Nope...although....someone did post 'why do ghosts always come from, like, the 17th century? Why is no one reporting a 2007 ghost screaming "It's Britney, bitch!" at 3am?'
Viking brooches, a hipster café, modern ghosts.
I also drove past Willsmere today, speaking of ghosts, and guides who claim there are NO GHOSTS at Willsmere Lunatic Asylum, which is now upmarket housing.
I'm sitting here, demanding my brain do something with this. I know my mind doesn't work like that. It's not an old-fashioned punchcard reader.
If only....
I guess I've just got to let everything sit in the broth in my head until such time as things recombine.
Hurry up, inspiration, I haven't got all day. Sigh.
