 The Girl in the Horse Painting

“Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.”

“Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.”

“That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.”

“I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!”

“Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.”

“There is a girl in the background?”

“I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.”

“I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?”

“He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.”

“Goes to show he’s really good at drawing horses.”

“Wait, wait, let me pull up a picture and show you so you don’t have to wait for the print… Here look.”

“Oh wow, there she is, just standing behind the horse. That’s crazy.”

“I know!”

“I wonder if the girl is someone the artist knows or just some random girl he imagined.”

“Well if he does know her, he must not have liked her too much to hide her in the background like that.”

“Or maybe it means he really likes her, and wanted to be the only one to see her in his masterpiece. Keeping her all to himself.”

“Hmm, that’s a good point. I guess we will never know.”

“And maybe he doesn’t want us to know.”

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
