That Moment...

So THAT's why my teachers kept taking me out of class! It all makes sense now.

 

That moment when you're planning the continuation of your WIP and you end up with a story/chapter where nearly everybody dies.

Yes, this includes the protagonist of the wider story arc. No, it's not the worst thing that happens to him. Not even close.

Also, none of the deaths actually stick.

This time.

 

Ummm... How to say this. I DOUBT your principal was a shaman.

 

IDK, they could have been.

 

HOW DID YOU FIND A PICTURE OF MR. DAWSON!?!?!
He was my Art Teacher.

 

Of course!

 

TMW you spy a roach running across the floor early in the morning.

"Oh ho ho, you're so so dead, you pest"

Followed by TMW you see an enormous black ant chasing said roach.

"An ally? Kill that roach, ant, so that you may leave my apartment with your life!"

TMW the ant catches the roach and begins to eat it.

"Yes. Yes! Let it's death be your fuel!" [insert evil laughter here]

I put the ant in a jar and placed it outside. He was a good comrade.

 

The enemy of my etymology enemy is my friend?

 

That moment when you're making good progress on your WIP and then you discover seven scenes where your planning is so poor you have to redo the plans before you can write them.

You only discover this after you've written the first of them and seen how badly it's turned out.

FML not again.

 

... you get yet another automated email from PayPal but this one has the subject title, ‘Hey, big spender! Why not spread the cost?’

 

That moment when you find an even bigger problem with your WIP at the point where it's rapidly approaching the climax, but you're knackered so you just write it down on a post-it note and you'll come back to it and have a massive strop after you've had a nap.

 

TMW you get a call from a number you don't know, and when you answer there is no sound whatsoever.

 

TMW aforementioned disconcerting caller turns out to be a hospital that wants to give you an EEG as a follow-up to your collapse 2 months earlier.

 

TMW leaving the your country is looking like a mighty fine idea.

 

.....Illuminati was cooler, though.

 

Why d'you think they want to monitor my brainwaves? So they can distort them to fit their own agenda.

 

But where to go? And remember that wherever you go, there you are.

 

Indeed. Happy with myself, so no problem with this castle. Living around hoodlums who are after the blood of innocents though....yeah, gotta move away from that.

 

That moment when your internet goes down in the entire state???
Quoi le fuck???

 

Seems to be better now...

 

I mean, that was on my shitty phone data, but now it's all back to normal I guess.

 

TMW someone tries to pin you between either politely saying nothing or rudely spillin the tea, and you can see on his face that he's damned sure you're going to go with polite, but nope, not this time.

And now someone's got a whole bunch of tea to clean up.
