Addendum thought: Yesterday was Tuesday. Today is Wednesday. Tonight, I’ve discovered a new challenge to post! This is like the daily prompts, only done every Tuesday. Instead of titling my posts as ‘Daily Paws’, my big brain came up with ‘Discovery Tuesday’. To avoid duplication, the usual date format precedes this generic description.
Flynn: Anyway, I’ve risked my entire life savings in speculative investments with a bunch of complete strangers. They were really reptilianz. They looked humanz, though.
Kitty: Why, Flynn? Why did you do such a stupid thing?
Flynn: Partly greed, partly curiosity. But mostly gullibility. I thought I was being nice. But I fell into a trance-like. government mind-controlled buzz inside my skull full of mush.
Kitty: You could have helped your relatives instead. Are you insane?
Flynn: That strong belief of helpfulness almost cost me my sanity. Nay, I would have been homeless had my parents not bailed me outta a personal hellhole.
Kitty: What have you learned from this pathetic experience?
Flynn: I wasted my time and effort as a cubicle slave. Outta my hard work – the blood, sweat, and tears became a realty leading to a rude awakening of a failed American Dream.
Kitty: So you were dreaming of getting married, raising a family, owning a house, going on vacations, making a name for yourself, and realizing that you were duped?
Flynn: In essence, yup. I can’t begin to tell y’all how relieved I am for crossing that line, crawling across that dessert, swimming through that storm.
Kitty: What do you mean? You’re not making sense again.
Flynn: I’ve learned that there’s a whole new world out there: it’s mostly illusory. Plus, I can no longer trust others or myself after what had happened.
Kitty: That’s enough, Flynn! I’ve had enough with your pitiful stories. Feed me, now! Your service is required. Place your offerings at my paws and find your peace with me. There, there. Hush. Be quiet. I said, shut up, please!
