The sequence of events matters in establishing the cause-and-effect scenario. It’s the meat of the story. Promos are just crumbs thrown around to build up an appetite.
The words ring in my ears as I listen to different versions of an unusual incident. It’s a lesson in building narrative. What’s scary is the impact these narratives have on the human thought process, and how it colours actions for a lifetime.
I need to cross oceans in the subconscious before I process dreams for days to come. The night is still young, and an early moon is just a piece of change.
In the softening sky, stars twinkle like dreaded promos. The constellations may reveal a different pattern, after the gossip dies.
The soul of the story is the intent, and it differs for every character and situation.
Storytellers’ nightmares never end. They drive creativity.

I think nightmares are the best fuel for stories…

“I need to cross oceans in the subconscious before I process dreams for days to come.”
You are definitely a wise “owl”. Bet you’ve been called an “overthinker”.
Thinking is as automatic as breathing. I don’t understand that label. 😉

Thinking before doing or doing before thinking makes all the difference.

Absolutely… and, thinking to the point of never ‘doing’ is also a problem.

I like the way you broke up the prompt line, Reena, and how it sits seamlessly in the piece. I also like the sentences: ‘I need to cross oceans in the subconscious before I process dreams for days to come’ and ‘The soul of the story is the intent, and it differs for every character and situation’. And you are so right about storytellers’ nightmares!
