These are fantastic times we’re living in. I’ve never felt a truer sense of the word. Surreal, absurd, unbelievable, sometimes downright preposterous – these are the times fantasy novels are made of. By the end of the summer we may all be fanatics about masks and germ killer and maintaining distance, or maybe everybody will get sick of it all and throw caution to the wind. Well, I think we all know I’m not gonna fall in the latter but broadly speaking some folks might.
Time to cue the fanfare, people.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “fan.” Use it by itself or find a word that starts or ends with it. Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
We have to take care of ourselves.

Surreal is a good word for these times. I sometimes watch dystopian movies. I’m not sure if they help prepare me or make me more paranoid. Lately they seem too close for comfort, and I’m starting to prefer stories set in galaxies far, far away.

Galaxies far, far away seems like a good choice. We caught Divergent the other week and I just kept thinking about how far fetched the whole thing seemed when I first saw it/read the book — now? I see disturbing similarities with government overreach.

Yep. Those movies and books are interesting and scary at the same time. I feel the same away about The Hunger Games.

I am not fanatical, but cautious. I think I will be for a while.

It’s always good to maintain distance from the fanatics.

A couple of so called Leaders bear both of us have given up. Actually they never really started. So while a proportion of the people will be winging it, I will be like you, family preservation fanatics. Have a great and safe weekend.

At a certain point we have to listen to ourselves and make our own best choices. I know you’ll do what’s best for you and your son. Happy Saturday!
