Masked
Peter hated every mask in the costume shop.
“This won’t do.” He mumbled.
“You’ll love this item, I promise.” The owner suddenly produced a sleek rubber hood.
He looked at her and then at the black fabric, darkness calling him.
There’s a new statue on display by the entrance now. It looks just like him.
Just a surreal impromptu that came to me about an hour ago. Today is my first day back to a normal update schedule following some mini-vacations and the rhythm still isn’t there yet but it will be. I had lots of different ideas and chose the one that I enjoyed the most.
We’re now officially one day away from 2000 consecutive days of this challenge. Will there be a surprise tomorrow or not? You’ll just have to drop by to find out. See you then.
Muse Talk – Milestone
“Two thousand days? No way!”
“Believe me, it’s true.”
“But how?”
“Perseverance, hard work, a bit of madness… he’s got it all, dear.”
“I never imagined he would make it this far.”
“I did, and so did he. Nothing is impossible with a bit of hypnosis.”
“Now what?”
“Three thousand, four thousand, infinity… game on!”
I’m sure you saw it coming. It’s such a big, round number I had to write something about it, and what better way to do that than to bring back the Muses that started it all? Nothing is impossible, folks.
I Love Hypnosis
The vanity plate in front of Mark’s eyes read: I Love Hypnosis.
“Good, I guess…” He mumbled.
The woman behind the wheel was a blue-eyed ginger. She smiled and he smiled back, forgetting for a moment he was supposed to move.
“I love hypnosis…” He repeated as she opened the passenger’s door, inviting him in.
I mentioned I’m currently watching a TV show, one that has already ended a while back but I never got around to watching it when it first aired. I’m talking about The Good Place, starring TV legend Ted Danson and the lovely Kristen Bell. I’ve only seen the first season thus far but it’s really good and I’ve been enjoying the philosophical/moral premises of it all wrapped in a comedic guise.
In one of the episodes, the character Michael (played by Ted Danson) makes a series of questions to determine whether a person deserves to be in The Good Place (euphemism for the paradisiac afterlife) or The Bad Place (a construct of Hell, so to speak.) One of the questions is:
Did you ever have a vanity license plate, like “MAMASBMW,” “LEXUS4LIZ,” or “BOOBGUY”?
That was so random but also funny as hell. Vanity plates aren’t really a thing around here but I’ve seen plenty in movies and whatnot and the combination of the two aspects made me write this. Have you ever been hypnotized by a license plate? Would you like to? Food for thought.
To wrap this up, I actually designed the plate on the featured image myself. What did you think?
HR Zombies
All eyes were on Derek as he returned from the HR meeting.
“Well?” Ashton and Paul asked.
“It was amazing. I love my boss. I will lick her feet in adoration now.” Derek droned.
He smiled vacantly and walked past them, happy to have proven that the “HR Zombies” were nothing but an urban legend.
Random impromptu that I suppose came to me due to the fact that I felt like a zombie most of the day. Last night was a complete mess around here as there were fireworks going on for almost three and a half hours straight. While not all were in the neighborhood, I could still hear them and my dogs couldn’t relax. I barely got any sleep so I went to work feeling like absolute crap. I still am. Oh well…
Anyhow, the longest night of the year is over though there’s bound to be random fireworks every now and then.
