Thrill the World, she suggested. I liked idea of the world dancing as one and the fact that we would be the event’s starters was even better. I couldn’t dance though. On my best days I could barely walk. To quote a friend I suffered from something more like sustained falling than anything resembling a graceful gate.
She said didn’t know the steps either. We could learn together and then sign up together. Hopefully in the time it took us to learn we could attract more people to our cause gather a hope legion of zombies to Thrill the World in October with us. I have to admit, her optimism made me smile and made me think I could do it.
Then I walked into a wall and laughed at myself. What had I gotten myself into? Well, October is still months away and perhaps learning to dance will give me some modicum of grace. I just pray that I won’t fall over or mess up too badly during the actual event.
