The Wormhole in My House

I have come to the conclusion that somewhere in this house, is-a wormhole. A volatile and vast wormhole that sucks things in-important things. This monster of a wormhole has managed to suck up the strangest of objects too! Things like: the original set of keys to my truck, an expensive diamond ring, the left shoe to my only really great pair of dress shoes; the cute black ones that dresses up any outfit. Other things too-a favorite blouse, a pen and a brand new notebook that I was sure I had left in my office supplies-have magically disappeared.

Not only have these objects disappeared (although they are merely that-objects), but this devastating wormhole has sucked all my creative juices regarding this damned story I am writing, out of my brain! So I trying to avoid it by NOT thinking about it. Inevitably though, someone will ask me, "How's the book coming?"-especially while running into everyone during the holiday parties and impromptu gatherings at the Pub. I then spend the next few hours or days fretting that I should be concentrating on writing the story- and less on partying! Usually my characters like to come and talk with me but they, too only seem to be distant shadows in my dreams-although... last night I did hear a chant as I stood before a hogans door with smoke billowing gently from behind the deer skinned entrance and to the night skies above so... perhaps there is hope on the horizon.

As Daddy would then say to me... "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, How did you enjoy the play?". I sigh a deep sigh as I hold my hands and head up into the air to the powers that be and say, "What can ya do?! I could use a little of your help down here!" Waits for reply. "I know! I know... it's Christmas... I know… but I'm trying my best down here to do thing here so... So, thanks for listening. Amen..." I sigh another deep sigh, give one more pleading look to the heavens as I publish this and switch over to my MS Word.

If nothing happens, I might be back here... otherwise you can probably find me in my usual spot... at the Pub!
