When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?
Well now, the last time I took a big risk was a long while ago. I am sure I have taken several small risks since. But we will talk about the big risk. The wrong risk I took for a project my mind forced me to do; having the same horrendous nightmare. This drove me to write about the dream in order for them to stop entering my sleep.
The risk goes like this. I was in the process of writing this story that came to my head out of the blue. Not really, I continued to have these horrendous nightmares keeping me underground; working. I did however escape, only to be caught and brought back to work. That’s when I seen I was not, the only human being forced to work, but, the crazy thing about being down there working, was, I was never allowed to leave my bream knowing what I was working at?
The name of my story, BUZZER
After locking myself in the work room for four months, words flew from my mind to the computer non stop until a wall of questions bombarded my thoughts. This blockage caused me to take the next step leaving the wall creating symbols to spell out words; an alien language. An actual dictionary took form.
Once the language was set, the only place for me to go was back to my barricade. Oh bother.
I’m sure we all know, they tell us, “we cannot write something we don’t know anything about.” They tell us, “readers are smart. They ask questions.” So, I needed to learn about the next step to be able to carry on with my story.
I know, you are probably wondering where am I going with this. What could possibly be anything that important, for me to go out and take a big risk writing a story? What kind of a story is this risk taker blabbing about that went horribly wrong.
I will tell you what kind of a risk. Sack man. An Arrest. I came upon a part in my story where an arrest had to be written about. Shh. That I am called a goody two shoe person, how could I possibly write an arrest?
I have not witnessed an arrest, I have not been arrested, I did not know anybody who has been arrested. So, I needed to find out right?
😶
Okay, to make a long story short, the jest of it was, I went out to escape someone. Mother.
I went to a bar, had three beers and a shot of black Sambuca to end the night. On the way home I was HIT with an epiphany … 🤩 I will ask the police officer I seen sitting across the street where I had my drink; something told me he was coming for me, especially the way he stormed off in the other direction; one way street. It had to be for me?
Okay, all I had to do was drive maybe twenty feet, turn the corner and I would be home. But that EPIPHANY told me to stop and wait!
Well the rest is history. I was not able to ask him anything. He took me down town in handcuffs; oh the pain. Telling me the “officer in charge wanted to see me.” ???!
That was the most wrongful risk ever taken by me and possibly the last. Still remains the question.
Was it the wrong risk or the wrong time.
Lmao. 🤣 actually it was not funny at all. Did I write the arrest into my story? No!!! I chose a totally different path for that part of the book.
Down with Epiphany’s
The End.
