I read a post on Twitter yesterday asking if I could remember a time when I didn’t need coffee to start my day, and when my back didn’t hurt.
A better question is if I remember a time when I was free from the #maelstrom of my thoughts…

Things I will never see in my lifetime:
Requirements documents that are not #nebulous.

Her voice rose over the #pandemonium.
“Such a long prompt today. It gives us less space to express ourselves.”
“Don’t you think complaining about it takes away more space?”
“Ummm…”

People long for a world that used to be.
There was a time when the lack of #proof would label the speaker as a #quack.
How I long for those times.

The rescue team scoured the #rubble of the town after the major earthquake – “The Big One.” Few signs of life were left. One of the workers happened on a mangled teddy bear, and heard a faint cry underneath.
One happy ending.

“Hey man! Can you do ‘#Slither’?”
I know he’s drunk, so I just smile and nod. Yeah, I can do the song, but as the bass player, it’ll sound kind of empty if the rest of the band doesn’t know it…

Grandpa sat at his workbench, tying a beautiful fly.
Kenny sat and watched for a while, then asked, “Grandpa, you don’t put hooks in them?”
“No, Kenny, I don’t want to eat the fish.”
“You’re such a #tease…”

“Here’s an envelope on your desk marked, ‘#Urgent.’ Shoudn’t you be addressing this instead of reading Internet news?”
“It’s from Thompson, sir,” I replied. “He thinks an empty TP holder in the bathroom is a federal emergency, even if there’s a new roll nearby.”

We streak across the sky as tiny bits of life and essence. If we are lucky, we leave a mark.

“Consider the #willow…”
The crowd grew restless. They did not understand what the prophet was trying to say.
Perhaps if he didn’t use a tree metaphor in a desert…

The aggressive young man used his skill and charm to rise quickly in the world of finance. Every action appeared as if he was in the throes of #avarice.
Few knew that he donated almost all of his gains to the local food bank.

As I walk the streets of my neighborhood, I hear a familiar sound – the geese are migrating again. The #bellwether of spring for another year.
I often wonder how they know the way. Then, I smile to myself, realizing that I do not need to know.

“#Draw two,” he said, hesitantly. The older men at the table stared, expressionless.
He received his cards and smiled to himself. He couldn’t believe his luck – a full house!
He felt it best to slink away with his winnings while the other players were still in shock.

“The music has an #etherial quality that is difficult to describe.”
I have heard that about some of my compositions. I don’t consciously think about doing it – it just happens. If I could describe it, I could retire rich.
I’m just happy it has decided to hang out with me.

Judy was worried about her husband.
“I feel fine. Really. Just because a person has to #faint…”
Another call to 911, another adjustment to his insulin levels…

The room was dark, save a #sliver of light coming from the ill-fitting window covering. Nate blindfolded Jamie anyway.
Soundproofed walls and windows revealed nothing to the outside world.
