wishing for something to happen

right up until the incident - it was a day just like any other day. she woke up, went for a swim in the basement pool, returned to her apartment via the back stairs, ate oatmeal with blueberries, showered & dressed, walked to work - everything so precisely the same as every other day that you couldn't really blame her for wishing something would happen to break the spell of doldrums.

but when you get to the point that you are wishing for something to happen, then you need to snap out of yourself and make something happen because simply wishing for something to happen only gives you about a 50% chance that the "something" will be good. no - probably more like 35% chance that whatever happens will be beneficial to you because if you are so lazy that you start wishing for any old something to happen, you concede control & open the door to fate.

and that's exactly what she did. she conceded control & opened the door to fate. she wished something would happen.

so that's exactly what happened.

she walked to work, same as always, and as she entered the retro-green glass office tower she caught a glimpse of motion at the edge of her vision. it was just enough to register her attention and by reflex she turned her head towards the motion. before she could focus her mind enough to process the action her reflex was performing - much less focus her eyes enough to process what she was seeing - she was sucked into the vortex.
