The sun is setting. Perfect light for
photography. The grass and trees along the roadway on Cadillac are
still without a wind to move them. The road twists and winds. Fall
leaves cover that mountainside. My favorite season to photograph. I
park my car at an overlook and cross the road. Climbing the lichen
covered stones that have sat there for millenia, I spot a perfect
shot. Kneeling down I frame my shot and, snap, take it.
I race up a hill and storm the lair of
the dragon. He launches into the air and sweeps around behind me. I
turn just in time to plant a blow into his neck. Reeling, he breaths
a wave of fire at my raised shield. I hack and slice until his
lumbering body falls permanently to earth. Running towards him I
climb onto his back. He tries to throw me off but to no avail. I
land the killing stroke and absorb his essence. One more for the
trophy hall I have erected.
A new logo for a new Church mission. I
search for inspiration and collect ideas. I sit down and start to
craft and shape them in Photoshop. I work and toil rejecting and
accepting different ideas. Then I stumble on one that sends my mind
racing. Creativity pours in and I assemble them into the finished
product. The triumph of a job well done and the satisfaction of
knowing you have contributed to a worthy cause are my payment. It is
worth it.
My computer runs slower than it ever
has before. I run anti virus. Nothing. I uninstall programs.
Nothing. Suddenly I get an error message in blazing red, flashing
onto my screen. It is a hard drive error. Then, nothing.
Okay, New Man, I hate to confess to being lost and confused; I never want to be in the dark, especially in my own virtual classroom...but you're going to have to explain these four to me and their links.
ReplyDeleteThe first three are things that encompass all that I had on my hard drive. Photos, games, and graphic designs. I used my recent woes as a little fuel. Seemed to fit with the prompt. In hindsight I can see why it would be a little ambiguous for someone in the dark.
