I haven't been writing much recently. I got caught in the net.
Actually, that net; it was a Star Wars TV series, Rebels. I'd not seen it before, but I managed to obtain every episode and watch it. 4 seasons.
It was my escape. I didn't want to watch the news or go on Facebook. I wanted to lose myself in the Star Wars world
Finished now. What do I do? I need a raft out of here. Back to real life.
"There's one over there. I think I'll take it."
Thankfully, the waters feel calm today. I don't want to enhance a storm. It would be just nice to sail away on the smooth sea.
I can't decide if I want the sun on my back. I am tempted by the night sky. Stars shining everywhere. The moon reflecting on the sea.
Such a beautiful trip. A trip of my choosing.
I finally reach my destination.
"How was your trip, sir?" said the man at the station.
"Very good," I replied. "I lost myself for a couple of weeks. Star Wars. It was very good. I've now taken a calm trip back to reality."
*Very good, sir. What are your plans now?"
"I don't know," I said. "But that's a good thing."
"Is it?"
*Yes, it is. All I know is; I'll be doing things differently from now on."
