What a Jolt of Energy

Life after a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, can have temporary and lasting effects on the body and brain. My experience with the lack of sensation on the left side feels like constant pins and needles. The limbs feel significantly weakened. I challenged myself to clean up the seasonal leaves in the yard, and it made me struggle with balance and motor skills on my entire left side. If I keep up the efforts to improve my touch and strength, the future is one single reminder: take one aspirin each morning.

My life changed fast. I sought help from local government agencies, but I turned up the urgency to finish this next project. If God gave me the consciousness to write the truth to the best of my knowledge and facts, every concept I dreamed up has a real purpose: committing to morality as a flawed species. The story comes from real eras I lived through after arriving late to the dance. My soul bleeds for humanity. I remain committed to love as a remedy for what ails the mind, body, and soul. 

This new narrative will splash hard when all’s revealed. I spin a compelling web of dark mystery using extraordinary teenagers with high IQs. These five friends change the world for the better after corruption and prophecy have put society in the worst seven years in the creation theory. The concept of a new earth in the Bible is a promise from the first inception of a man and a woman in the Garden of Eden. Calhoun Mane discovers New Earth after a life of obligation to humankind; the netherworld provided him with never-ending access to a snitch, a rat, a bad guy, a con, or whatever else our species can reimagine. Free will is the influence knowledge has on one’s life, and anything known will acknowledge its purpose.

I finally found a genre to match my style and voice. Writing from an otherworldly perspective, where ghosts interact through my protagonist, spins tales of adventure as they investigate the world for clues to solve problems or crimes. I am near the end of this project, and polishing its precious surface reveals a spectrum of reflectivity.

When I settle from the dust of my life, may the ground underneath my feet have foundation, and a whirlwind of gumption to express the life I followed. Now I lead in creative writing and enjoy the long hours of rereading every line a billion times, then one last time. I’ll survive this life writing from the soul, no matter the fate that tempts my destiny. I know that this new book will be the crescendo of my life’s work.

I'm alive and doing alright.
