Fulfillment

I read somewhere that a chemically induced hallucinogenic "trip" that seems to last hours is sparked by the fragment of a second the chemical does its thing. This excerpt took several seconds to read, but the trip it provoked will last at least all day. Thanks!

Thanks Mathew and Adam.

Mathew, your comments are enlightening. I enjoyed writing this story. It was kind of a trip for me, the writing of it.

Adam, thanks.

Thank you, Jill. I recognize this. Well put, well written. :)

Especially this - "But it is her insecurity about her work, about money running out someday that keeps her working. That keeps her practicing her art. It's still just all in her head but she's practicing."

Each time pen moves over paper or our fingers tap the keys new worlds are created. And we practice - and practice.

I like this piece. *

Love the last line.

Will check out the full piece.

Thank you Christina, Sam, and Bill. Appreciate your words.

My ears deceive or I hear an ironic pun on "currency", being current, and recurrence.

If I'm only imputing, then I'd also impute the implied ending I hear: "how some things continue once you've stopped".

Glad to've timed with my morning coffee, too! Good work.

"And she's dying like someone who's tried living and failed."
Such a simple sentence but with so much power.
Enjoyed this! *

Beautiful, assured writing.

'And she's dying like someone who's tried living and failed.'
