200 words day #2


Well, I wouldn't exactly call them unexpected consequences per se, just embarrassing muscular mishaps. For example the young girl is sitting in the movie theater watching Anastasia and the music changes signifying the entrance of the EU will sorcerer Rasputin and his cute but annoying fruit bat sidekick Bartok. Even though the girl knows intellectually that something bad is about to happen she still jumps out of her skin. In the process she knocks over a large soda and jumbo tub of popcorn that was placed on her lap tray for some godforsaken reason.

The girl feels horrible, but there is nothing she can do except endure the books and harsh whispers of every other person in the theater. The girl's mother tries unsuccessfully to clean the mess up. However, all she has at her disposal is a couple of previously used paper napkins and her own saliva. So, unfortunately the girl is forced to remain extremely sticky for the rest of the movie. The girl feels like a victim of her own physical circumstances. She wishes more than anything that she could just sit there and enjoy the rest of the movie like a normal person, but that isn't possible.

Of the only part I didn't particularly care for was the appearance of Ira's late wife. It seems to me that Sparks used this premise in his last few novels but I can be certain. One of the things that I enjoyed most about this first chapter was the amount of history that was involved in it. It seemed slightly reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks’ first big novel The Notebook. I didn't get through his last novel so I planned on doing a series of blogs about...

I remember...

 When things used to be simple. They would visit every Tuesday. I would miss them ,the kids would fill up the house with noise  and excitement. Then we got custody and the world changed.  I learned how to share. I learned how to teach. I  and others learned how to dream big for them. We all watched them grow experiment and change

Dream catcher

. Dream Catcher She awoke from her dream, a male voice saying, "I thought our mothers' always won."             Above is the only snippet of information I can remember from a recent dream I had. It at first sounded like the male voice or someone I knew, from high school or below. Now however, I can't place it. Maybe it's to remind me that my mother has always fought for me, and she will continue to win every war.             I collect dream catchers, I've always wondered whether they really work. Several years ago now, I was searching through some of my personal items and I found a legend about dream catchers on some stationary. It was a legend out of South Dakota. To quickly paraphrase, it said that the person's nightmare is held in the web of the dream catcher. Then, the dream or nightmare parishes in the early morning light. Prompt cre...
