Das Hier Black #4

I'm dead. I know this to be true because the last memory that I have is one of pain, that was mercifully brief, though terrible to be sure as I was run over by a bus.

That was a week ago as the living measure time and are able to experience it linearly, which I didn't realize was not the only possibility.

But more on that later as I have one more thing to do on this plain of existence before I move on and experience one of the higher plains.

What is it is that I have to do before I can move on?

I don't quite know. But there must be some reason why I am a ghost that has this quasi-existence that I shouldn't have because I never believed in ghosts until I died.

Admittedly, I would watch a movie or show about ghosts and not have a problem with them existing, because that's a story and the kind of stories that I most like everything is possible.

But in the real world, no, ghosts just didn't, they just weren't.

Clearly I was wrong because here I am dead and rather bored.

I'd sooner have just ceased, like I thought was the truth.

I'm an agnostic, though that was because I just don't know if there is or isn't a God.

So what comes next? And how long do I have to wait and find out what the hell is going on?

What comes next indeed. That was all that I had in my head about the drawing above, which is actually my 8th drawing of the day, albeit this latest one is the largest of them.

And four of them were drawn on business cards that I will not be using as business cards.

But as they are small, it helps with the numbers of drawings that I have done so far.

Yes, numbers are key for me, like the 1000+ drawings that I will draw, for sure and the 1,000,000 + words that I will write, likely.

I will draw a few larger drawings, but the vast majority of them are going to be on the smaller side.

That's just the way it's going to be this first year of the new decade.

Or decayear, which sounds cool to me.

I know that it won't catch on but I'm still going to use the term all the same.

Just as I am going to continue writing and drawing at least twice a day for the rest of the year.

And the rest of all my years on Earth unless and only until I become incapable of doing both for three very terrible reasons.

My being dead, injured or terribly ill.

That's a sad thing to think about though and I am not going to worry about such darker endings than I want in my head as I go about my life.

I don't think that this is going to be a good day for us Societors.

I know that i am not feeling the words as I am enjoying some programming that i have saved because live ,eams putting up with commercials and I just don't have the patience for that anymore.

Though yes, commercials can serve as a good time for a writer to write, an artist to draw.

Not that I know anything about being an artist because I don't draw. I trued in the past but it didn't take and just left me frustrated.

Besides, I have enough to do as a writer that I just don'ty have the time for it.

I don't know how Sutheran does. 

It's certainly not because he's an alien because the Good Petrie that he likes to talk about draws all the time.

But enough about the good Petrie right?

Who's he? Just some guy who wrote 1,025,805 words in a single year.

Oh, yeah, that is something that I could never do myself.

But outside of that...

And he didn't do it on his first try.

I've seen his stats though and even in the midst of his improbable year of a million+ words he had days where he was writing like me and couldn't find enough words.

Time is on my side, but I know that I am not going to carry the day and need help.

Is anyone going to heed the call outside of  Franklin?

Sorry Franklin, but I want someone else top step up and answer the call to words because if Franklin writes today he's going to take the percentage of the year way past 32% and that's only going to make us fall back into letting him carry the day and we don't want that.

At least me and Sutheran don't.

What about you Brayden, Halston? Who among you is  going to show up next?

Today would be just what we need.

Are you going to let us fall stupidly short today?

I hope not, because it's going to take all of us to do what one nobody did in 2019.

And aren't we better than him?

I think we are, so let's show it.

As for me, I'm done for now. And I hope that I don;t have to return tonight to try and get us where we need to be.
