Nothing To See Here (or Move Along, Move Along)

Nothing

Nothing (Photo credit: khalid Albaih)

So, I wish I could tell you about all the exciting things that happened to me this past week, but there aren’t any stories to tell.

  • No rocks fell from the sky and hit me.
  • No holes opened up in the ground to swallow me up.
  • I wasn’t diagnosed with a terminal disease.
  • I didn’t drown in a flood.
  • My clothes never caught on fire. Not once.
  • I didn’t win the lottery, but I didn’t get any bills either.
  • I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
  • Nobody noticed that I’ve lost weight.
  • I didn’t slip in the shower.
  • I wasn’t accused of being a witch.
  • I wasn’t hit by a car. Or a truck or a bus or a train. Or a speed boat or a marmoset.
  • I didn’t eat poison, or at least not enough.
  • I didn’t spend any time in prison.
  • None of my toenails fell off.
  • I didn’t lose my sense of smell.
  • I didn’t find ants in the kitchen.
  • I wasn’t implicated in a plot to kill the President.
  • No volcanoes exploded in my immediate vicinity.
  • I didn’t have to sleep under a bridge.
  • I wasn’t hunted for sport.
  • None of my organs were harvested for the black market.
  • I wasn’t forced to listen to a Celine Dion song over and over and over.
  • I wasn’t stabbed or shot. Or bludgeoned with frozen trout.
  • I didn’t have an aneurism while going to the bathroom.
  • There were no high-speed chases ending in a shootout with the police.
  • I didn’t forget how to tie my shoes.
  • I didn’t do laundry, but I probably should.
  • I wasn’t attacked by zombies. Or vampires or werewolves. Or mummies or ghouls or dragons or orcs or Klingons. Or giant lampreys or sentient mushrooms.
  • I didn’t catch my wife cheating with my ex-wife.
  • No eyes were lost or necks broken.
  • I wasn’t electrocuted.
  • I didn’t cut myself shaving.
  • I wasn’t abducted by aliens and probed.
  • I wasn’t denied my human rights.
  • I didn’t fall into the bear exhibit at the zoo.
  • Nobody called me a slut just for being a woman on the Internet.

Also, boring is sometimes underrated.

    But you DID receive a death threat. Almost… And I’m not sure if that counts as last week or not… :P

  2. Sounds like you actually had a pretty good week :)

What is this?

Ray Bradbury once said, “If you can write one short story a week—doesn’t matter what the quality is to start, but at least you’re practicing. At the end of the year, you have 52 short stories, and I defy you to write 52 bad ones. Can’t be done.”
In that spirit, I'm publishing approximately one thousand words of my works-in-progress, three times per week. I invite you to read the results and see if he was right. You can access the archives of past stories from the menus at the top of the page.
I'll also be posting my musings and random thoughts as they strike me, so be prepared for miscellaneous shenanigans. If you like what you see here, please subscribe by RSS, WordPress, or email. Thanks for stopping by.
