game called "Moo Stack 2," and though I am
doing well enough to get to Level 12 without
even having buy any Moo Bucks, I'm still
no closer to an idea about what to write. My
thumbs, however, do start to get a little ex-
hausted from my exertions.
Before long I focus my dwindling attention
on the television, on which a small gaggle of
women is now arguing with a group of men in
a hot tub. My eyes glance to the coffee table,
with the remote hidden deep underneath, and
then to the laptop, with its blizzard of white
space needing to be filled.
Then it hits me like slap of cold, wet Kleen-
ex right in the face: what if I write about this
here, right now? What it feels like to get
sick? Getting a cold feels universal, right?
There must be plenty about it that could be
funny if humorously rendered! Why, I could
write about things everyone understands,
like nasal congestion and eating too much
soup! And if I could only reach that damn
remote, I could switch to Grit Channel, and
then maybe I could summon the energy I
need to really flesh out the article. It could
even be funny, I think for a moment, before
my better instincts take over. No, that'd be
awful. Plus I don't want to get up and lift up
the coffee table to get the remote.
Ah hell, I'll write the column tomorrow. I'm
sure I'll have a better idea by then.
