As a writer, you pile perspective upon perspective,
And perch on the lofty precipice of dangerous empathy,
Random epiphanies,
And random questions that test your sense of identity,
Like a headless hasaean hunting thoughts, you decapitate the minds of good and evil alike.
You are insane, yet also the therapist.
You come from a tribe of headhunters; so you will never need a shrink.
Craft me a tale,
That I may see who I am.
Craft me a story;
Of who I can be.
~Twenty-word-tale~

Reena asked us to use any of the three phrases below to inspire something we write. I liked them all so I used all three;
- “His thought process was on so many levels that he gave himself a phobia of heights.”
- “Random words in front of other random words create a random sentence.“
- “I come from a tribe of head-hunters, so I will never need a shrink.”
Bubble asked us to use the word ‘Craft’ for our twenty word tale.
Happy Sunday everyone.
Nice. I also love the twenty word tale ๐
Happy Sunday to you too Jude

Sure, this is what writing feels like at times, since you have to come from all angles and “perspectives” at once: “You are insane, yet also the therapist.”
