Story

Doyle opened her laptop and clicked the icon for her mail. She bounced on her sofa as a string of email poured across her screen. Her story round robin had taken flight. It had all started with her first line and all these people had added a line. She sipped at a mug of tea.

The philanthropist folded his organization’s newsletter and shook her head. The things people chose to invest in made her head hurt.

So she donned sunglasses before heading out into the full moonlight. She still had time to terminate the contract.

The more circular her thoughts began, the more she needed symmetrical thinking. She needed to borrow some clarity.

She headed into the tribal temple of the Spaghetti Monster and offered her offering of rigatoni, then asked for guidance into the end of hunger through whatever means – both the world’s and her own.

She felt her soul being sucked through the tiny hold of the Devine Colander. Her offering was lacking. Her request denied. Or was it?
