Das Hier #16

I like to write early in the morning, as I mentioned a day ago.

But I also like to go out two or three times a week too and this is one of those days where I often go out.


Yes, I most often go out once a new day has begun.


Don't start with me that this is Friday. it's early Saturday okay?


Anyway, I was planning on going out but the fact of the matter is, I ran out of time and because of that, I didn't go out.


What I didn't do though was to take great advnatage of this extra time to write, write and write some more as I only started now when I've been home the whole time.


But I'm writing now and that is what counts most. That I'm writing.


And for the first time in the decayear, I am writing with something other than my desktop as I have found it best to write with my laptop as I am watching an older program on my favourite streaming service.


It's a rosstastic show that I have watched several episodes of online and am watching it on the streaming serive because this is the first time that I discovered that they were streaming it.


So I decided to watch a couple of these older episodes on that streaming service, which requires one to watch with the screen on full, if the viewing of the program is going to be most watched instead of something less because a full screen is easier to follow than a half-screen.


Also, I wasn't going to go a whole decayear writing just with tge desktop, though it has surely built an impossible to beat ;ead on the other means of my writing this decayear.


Though I thought the same thing about the share of the load sholdered by journal; writing when it reached 80% and now it's more under 40%.


Fingers crossed, it's going to keep falling too as I continue shouldering a good part of each's day's writing as the most vocal member of the Writer's Society who are attempting to do what Petrie did last year and write a million words.


Yes, Petrie was better than us, as he he did it all by himself. but we are a small society and what we are attempting to do is still great.


And right now, I am second and fast closing in on first. Though we have gotten together and given the rest of the month off to the journal writer.


I'd say the entire year, but I don;t think we have chance at success without his participation and better to succeed with him than to fail without.


But I know that you want to read more of my unfolding story about Fodi the Fish right?


Especially since his life is in great peril.


Only I'm not feeling it at all this late in the quarter and am going. 


Am I the only one of us carrying their weight consistently? Though to be fair to the one writing Anthanys, he's doing a good job, so far, but I sense that he's slowing down and it's only a matter of time before he falters, then falls off completely.

You still want to read more about Fodi don't you and you won't be happy if I don't give you a little taste.

You don't actually care if I have anything ready for him do you?

Limitations like not being able to breathe oxygen. So while he wasn't wrong, I would have liked to speak to him and give him a piece of my mind after he had taken a piece of my body and used me to get what he wanted. So talking would not have been something I would have been able to much of even if I could.

"Oh you sad little fish. I suppose I owe you your life for your role in my victory. And it's not like you can do anything to stop me is there? Of course not, you're a fish and this world will soon be mine."

He  laughed evilly and dropped me back in the water and turned around and stalked off into the deep dark woods that were a hundred feet away.

I fell hard and was dazed as I fell into the life-giving water, sinking as I couldn't slow the descent. And for a moment, I felt like Spevv must have felt like.

And I was disgusted with myself, even though it hadn't been me who had fishslapped him. I couldn't help feeling bad.

There. Are you happy? So demanding and what am I getting out of this? 

Not that I'm pissed that you have been very clear in wanting to read my little fish story, it's just not something that I'm used to. So of course you understand my poor reaction yes?

I am not happy with my fellow Societors today who have been nowhere to be found as I'm the only one who's shown up which is not good because it's towards the end of the day and even the writer of Anthanys has shown no inclination to show up.

And that is terribly diappointing because I didn't sign on as a Societor to shoulder the load when he's the one who should be shouldering the load.

Forunately, No Glorieux are playing like the good team that they were before the two terrible wretched streaks.

Or were in the 1st as they built up a 3-0 lead in the 1st and there was no sense of trouble coming.

It hasn't been as good in the 2nd as the visitors have gotten back into the game with two.

I am not yet despairing that this will be one of those games where Nos Glorieux fail horribly, but it does depend on which side of Nos Glorieux wins out, the strong or the weak.

I think we'll know which side is going to finish the game out if the visitors score next to tie it up and once more give me cause to curse their seaon of wretchedly terrible periods.

Though in the larger case, periods has not referred to single periods, but periods of games, like the two that resulted in eight straight losses each.

Sure, there were a total of three games(?) between the two wretcheds where they earned a point, but those were losses that have made it very difficult for Nos Glorieux to qualify for the Tournament. And they fail again, this will be the third straight season they have failed to do so. 

But that's yet to be decided and for the moment, Nos Glorieux have led for two periods and are twenty minutes away from winning their 4th of the last five which is a decent bounce back from the two wretched periods that robbed them of any hope of developing a swagger, which would have been nice to see as that hasn't been a thing in forever.

Fingers crossed that was just a bad period, of the single kind and not a sign of things to come for the rest of the night as the visitors strike back and win the last two.

As for my story about Fodi, just like the writer of Anthanys, I am not feeling it and shouldn't have to give you any more of it tonight when I am the only one who's actually shown up today.

But I have a feeling I'll still be getting another e-mail, which is totally not fair, but I'm the minority writer among the Societors as a Facer, rather than being an ordinary human.

Not that their racists, they're just not used to dealing with a Facer, because I don't want to paint an inaccurate picture of them because it's too easy these days for people to take a single comment and turn it something that it's not.

Especially when I should take it as a good thing that they are counting on me to drag the rest of the Societors along until they find their writers' wings and join me in the sky.

As it were.

Nos Glorieux are back on the ice in the 3rd and while it's still 3-2 in favour of the team with the history against the youngest of clubs, the team that scores the next goal is likely to win the game.

So I hope the right teams scores.

Yes, the visitors would have to score at least one more goal to take the lead, but I don't know that this edition of Nos Glorieux, or post in season wretcheds one and two, are strong enough to bounce back from giving up three straight goals.

What I'm saying is if they tie it up, they're sure to score.

Oh good! Nos Glorieux just scored to go back up by two and while I won't say that was the game winner, I am feeling better about their chances with just ten more minutes to play and the visitors needing three more goals to win.

Are Nos Glorieux actually capable of giving up three goals late in the period?

I wish they weren't, but they are.

And just like that, Nos Glorieux draw a delay of game penalty and that's the kind of penalty that often comes back to haunt a team. And there's plenty of time for them to score after this penalty if they do score during their play to power.

Time is ticking down for the visitors as there's less than four minutes. So while I won't say now that Nos Glorieux have won the night, time is on their side becasue at some point, the visitors are going to have pull their keeper, which splits the edge between the visitors and Nos Glorieux.

Oh bother.

It's now 4-3 for Nos Glorieux with the better part of two minutes left to play, though now the keeper is back in, or was.

Don't blow this game Nos Glorieux and you will have blown it if you allow the visitors to come back from two down and two minutes to play.

And during their wretcheds, the opposing team would have scored with the keeper pulled rather than allowed even one goal.

So allowing two will be the joy killer as the visitors will end the game in time over.

They scored to tie the game with 7.5 seconds left to play, though there was a brief flicker of hope with the possibility of an offsides on the goal.

It wasn't to be though and I hate to say it, but the game is going end in the first minute of time over.

And it will be time over as the weak side of Nos Glorieux showed up after the 1st.

Futt me!

This will be the second time this wretched season have blown a game where they had a lead of three or more goals.

it's only a matter of minutes.

In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.

So is it going to happen during the outshoot?

Probably.

That's worse. 

I hate the outshoot!

Nos Glorieux have had the greater chances and deserve to win the time over but I know how these games end.

A lifetime ago, when Nos Glorieux were truly the class of the league, even for years after, they would have won a game like this, but not now.

However it ends, the  visitors will win.

Though it is a Saturday Night and since the wretcheds Saturday Night has been their most wretched of nights.

So I shouldn't have been surprised that this game has gone to the outshoot.

The visitors will score first and last and win it by blanking both shooters.

Nos Glorieux Scored first. Yes! That's exactly what we needed.

But the visitors replied to tie it up and we missed on the second shot.

So of course the visitors were going to reply right?

Wrong.

But we muffed our third shot which set it up for the visitors to win. Only they had scored the last of their goals this night and Nos Glorieux won the night with a pair of outshoot tallies.

Phew, more than yay is all I have to say about this game.

It's a good thing that I'm here to carry the day because without me, we'd be nowhere as far as trying to duplicate what Petrie did last year.

Though to be fair to us, we're actually ahead of the sad pace that he managed in the first three months of his amazing year. 

So we have no reason to be ashamed. That being said, they better start showing up because I can't shoulder the bulk of the load. 

Or can I? I am fast catching up to the journal dude, though he's been given this week off, with the possibility being that it will be extended to include the rest of the month, so I had to catch up.

But shouldering it for the rest of the year?


That's a lot to ask.

My eyes closed and I began to feel faint, when I should have been revived by the goodly waters, but clearly he'd done more than just drop me and had actually put a little oomph in his throw.

So is this how I die?

Bennet sent me an e-mail saying that he's thinking about going to write more of Anthanys, so I might not be the only one of us to write today.

That would be good, but I'd almost wish that he didn't because a part of me wants to be the only one to carry the day twice. 

Though I know it's for the best that he does show up like he said he might. 

But whether he shows up or not, I'm going to keep writing because what else do I have to do right now than write?

Yes, I could do that, or even that, but I am feeling the words right now and I won't be writing tomorrow because the writer of Das Hier Black is supposed to carry the day tomorrow  as he can only write once a week apparently, which I will never understand, but that's the thinking of too many writers as far as I'm concerned.

Taking time off from writing though didn't stop Zane Grey so what do I know?

And I just thought of something else that I could do other than write.

I could get ready to go out the Facer Club which I'm going to do anyway.

And I've certainly lived up to my obligations unlike the other Societors.

So I've earned the rest of the night off.

I don't know what my fellow Societors are doing as I'm writing, but they have to look themselves in the mirror and get back to writing because I can't do it all by myself.

I'm not Petrie.
