Good Morning!
I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. As for me, truth be told I've had a bit of a rough month, so yesterday had its difficulties, but the fact remains that we are alive and we have an entire world just begging for our creativity! I just wanted to thank those that are present and remind you to purchase your copy of "A Little Life!" I am going to start reading tonight after work! If you are new to a book club, I have a few suggestions: - Please do not read analytically. Enjoy the story for what it is but take notes on the side. What moved you? What line or paragraph made you say "wow?" What character do you find yourself immediately drawn to? - If you feel like it's not catching on due to the writing, read slower. Use your finger if you must. Digest the words. If that still doesn't work, close the book - you're simply not in the right headspace or environment to read. - I find that reading to light piano in the background helps - but please note that is not for everybody. - Normally, I'd advise against notes in a book, but I find that a lot of people really enjoy this! Post-its are your friends, but don't hesitate to grab a pen and circle a line you love - after all , it's your book! Anyway, have a fun time! Can't wait to talk about it!
Good Morning!

See your sexy face then
Wake Up
You wake up, and the bed you are in isn't yours. A bedside clock reads 7:53 AM in bold red. The sheets feel expensive, the pillow is slick and full of duck feathers. The sun peeks through thin curtains and a breeze comes from a nearby window that is only just cracked open. From behind a closed door, you hear footsteps... Now write!

I quickly realize I have no idea where I am. I try to get out of bed before the footsteps reach the room. I can’t feel my legs. It feels like they are there. But nothing is happening. The door unlocks, an older man walks towards the bed with a silver platter. (He gives me a sinister look) “you must be hungry” Hungry!? Where the fuck am I? Who the fuck are you?! In due time he whispers, my head is foggy and vision blurry, he must’ve date raped me. I notice that it looks like I’m in a young boys room. Track star trophies along with various other awards and accomplishments. I ask to be let go, he whispers, some things you can’t walk away from anymore…he ask if i like the smell. The smell of what I ask? The smell of karma he whispers. He unveils a meal from the platter. He whispers, I made you legs. ( I must admit I am hungry) you haven’t eaten in days he exclaims. So I give in, (not sure what kind of meat this is, but it’s delicious, of course I ate every last bite) I enquire about the room. He whispers, crazy how things can suddenly be taken away from you, without you even seeing it coming. He starts to walk out of the room. I curse at him to let me go and to not walk away from me when I’m talking to him. (He smirks and whispers, I bet you wish you could walk away, walk away…he returns the next day with another helping of what I assume must be some kind of mystery meat. Of course I indulge. I’m a gluten after all. When I’m done, he places a tablet beside me. Before he presses play on a video, he tells me I can walk away after I watch it. He proceeds to press play. It appears to be a pov video from a go pro. Someone running alongside the street at night. The area looks familiar, everything seems normal, then all of a sudden the camera turns abruptly, now all you can see is headlights. The video pauses, then zooms in on the windshield, all i see if a partially covered face. (the old man whispers) gluttony is often a sin that is quite overlooked even difficult to notice. Even when it stares you directly in the face. Almost like looking into a mirror! I then realize the partially covered face is non other than my own. The horror sinks in…another video plays, a news anchor reads a story about a fatal hit and run involving a young teenager. The old man whispers, I wish my son made it home from that nightly run. But he did not. I start to cry and apologize, i beg to be let go. He whispers, i said i would let you walk away after.he then rips the blanket off of me and reveals my legs are gone! He then shows me a bag of food to go and shouts, don’t forget to take some of yourself home with you!

Just a guy trying to get his shit together like the rest of us. I truly believe things happen for us, not to us.
