Watching the sunset (with God)

Watching the sunset (with God)

I was watching the sunset with God.

I said, “I don’t understand why there is suffering, God. Why is there injustice, disease, and poverty?”

God said, “I wish you were around when I created everything. You could have made a real difference.”

The Split

The Split

I was woken by a rumbling.

I sat up in bed and looked around. A crack appeared in my floor. The room split in two.

The crack spread down and down until the Earth broke into two pieces.

I saw people looking back at my half of the Earth as it moved away from them. I waved. A few people waved back.

Backed up

Backed up

🥴 I was feeling off. Kind of bloated in the head, mouth, and throat.

Then I realized I hadn’t thought, said, or written anything for a couple of hours. There was a word backup.

So I opened my mouth and jettisoned words non-stop for twenty-five minutes.

When I was done, there was quite a big pile of words on the floor. I swept them up and shifted them into the empty pages of a notebook.

Then I shook up the book and mailed it to my literary agent.

What I woke up to

What I woke up to

👋 I was woken up by Wednesday saying, “Brooks! Brooks! Wake up!”

I said, “What is it, Wednesday? Is the house on fire?”

Wednesday said, “No, it’s just that I made you this day, and I’d love to see what you think of it.”

I looked around my room.

I said, “It looks like yesterday.”

Wednesday began to cry and said, “I’m sorry. I really wanted you to like it.”

I said, “But Wednesday, I really liked yesterday!”

💓 Wednesday said, “Yaaaaaaaay!”
