A Year Too Late

I thought it is time to give you an update on my List. Actually it is not like I just decided to do that but something actually happened today.
Remember the flash mob I spoke about before? Well, I managed to get two friends to go with me. The weekend started out quite hectic. I cleaned the flat, did some last minute errands, hang out with the girls and watched Inception. In between all of that of course I didn't manage to learn my steps. But not to worry I was going to get there early enough to learn the steps.
I set of in the morning to get my hair done and then get myself over to South Bank Centre. In the train I checked my messages and this is the message I got from one of the girls I was about to meet up with:

"Um...I just looked at that website again ...um, it was dated last year! Lol. Last year aug 30th was a Sunday...today is the 29th"

Good thing I didn't spend my time learning those dance steps.

It didn't happen. Minutes after seeing those two lines I was behind the computer looking for ways to terminate. There was no way I was going to have a baby. never wanted one, never planned for one and definitely not in the right place and mindset to have one. Where I was living did not allow for abortions so I spent the next week calling neighboring places.  It is very difficult to describe the thoughts that went through my mind. All I can remember is that I was living in the picture Scream because that is how I felt. I was 41 years old, recently married, living in anew place, working a new job and very far away from friends and family. What was I going to do with my career, my life. All that will have to stop. I was just planning the next 10 years of my life as I was determined to ...

One of my own stories Fireworks and Gossip

A while ago I wrote this short story. Meant to publish it but never got around to it. Here it is for your enjoyment. Fireworks and gossip Maurette Antersijn word count: 2621 To: Mauricio Smith From: Willy Jones Subject: Let's watch I'm glad you finished your to-do list last weekend. Always nice when you can tick things off. My weekend was uneventful. I stayed in and worked around the house. The basement has been needing a paint for years. So I cleared it out on Saturday. Sunday was spent on the couch doing the research and looking at the neighbours. They just moved in across the street. I think they are bird watchers or maybe they like looking at stars because the first things they moved in are a couple of stethoscopes. I have to start closing my curtains because it feels like Big Brother is watching. Be careful ... To: Willy Jones From: Mauricio Smith Subject: Experiments ready Looks like they are on to you.
