Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
It was quick. I was caught off guard. And for that reason alone I will never know WHO (or WHAT) knocked. And even though I like to let my imagination run wild and picture a 2-headed chimera galloping with the grace of a bulimic gazelle up to my doorstep and knocking his porcelain fangs against my front door, I guess WHO knocked isn't that important right now. But what they left on my door mat, is.
I was writing at the time. I do that a lot. A LOT. I'm not a writer. I like to pretend I am, though, disguising a shitty journal entry by dressing it up in a ton of over-descriptive similes and adjectives. Maybe at least this route would take me to Hollywood to write for Gillmore Girls if I ever showed anyone. But I won't, because I know who I am. Actually, scratch that. I know what MY ABILITIES are. I have the ability to imagine. That's it. Unfortunately nowadays, the ability to imagine can only get you a room full of people telling you to stop because its not medically sound. Imagination is a sickness, I guess. An ancient taboo. So I keep it to myself. And I write. And I write. And I write. Probably poorly, but I don't mind.
Though I have a good idea, I forget exactly WHAT I was writing at the time of the knock because everything following it happened so quickly. The light. The fear. The rooftop. The pain. I think I was furthering the adventures of a character I created called "Manda". Yah, you guessed it. He's a man with a Panda head. Manda gets into all sorts of perilous and ridiculous situations because he's caught between 2 worlds. Part of him wants to chew on bamboo leaves and live alone, while the other part of him wants to PARTY! He's the world's first endangered MAN. Hunters are chasing him, conservationists want to help him and study him, and girls want to marry him. I told you I wasn't a writer.
When I heard the knocks, my bic hit the paper, and the adventures of Manda the Panda-man stopped faster than Mario and Luigi when they switch directions in the first Mario bros game. And my adventure began…
