creative_muses. July. Calm before the storm.
You just know when things are going to go wrong. You may not really notice, or think so, but you do.
I mean...okay. Like this month. Like why I'm writing a prompt for July when it's been August for 14 minutes. (...or why this makes me feel bad, but I don't think anyone wants to hear about that. I wonder if there's some Catholic in my family or something.)
But there's a gut instinct for impending problems. There are obvious signs and not so obvious signs. If your friends have ever said "I wouldn't do that if I were you," or "How hard can it be?" or "It seemed like a good idea at the time," there's trouble coming. Of course, I'm usually the guy trying to talk Brendan...I mean my friends out of trouble, so I should know.
Then there are not so obvious signs. I get a bad instinct in me. It disorients me for a second or two, just long enough for me to take pause. I'm like Lassie without fur and with a guitar. It's my two seconds of calm before the wheels go off the wagon.
I know when it's going to happen. Question is, what do I do about it?
