“I've seen things you (…) wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time; like tears in rain.”
Well, I didn’t see as much as Batty in Blade Runner, but I’ve not come back the same person. I left angry and came back with a shift in perspective. Self-examination and critical thinking is tough and scary but the most rewarding things often are. It’s ongoing, though, or it will be lost in time.
But I’ve just discovered that there are several forks missing from my flat.
I should never have gone away.
Did you go somewhere?
ReplyDeleteDamn, I blinked.
ReplyDeleteBoooo, RFJ. Do I sense, perhaps, some jealousy or regret that our protagonist has undertaken an adventure and possibly made a change that you wish was a chapter in your memoirs?
ReplyDeleteBoooo? Get a sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind me, you lot go right ahead...
ReplyDeleteI don't like to ladle it on but you spent too long being spoon fed and now you have been knifed in the back. Perhaps this is the forking real world? Maybe it is time to retire to the woods and chop sticks.
ReplyDeleteComedy gold, comedy gold...
