Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1311: Uncertainty of This Light

And so it is not quite early morning on another day bit it is an earlier start than most days. There is some traffic outside but it’s not in the jam state of traffic and so it’s not quite edible, and that’s okay. It’s kind of quiet in here and that also is okay. Today needs to be a productive day and it will be a productive day, for I am now moving into a state of productivity.

Light rains down through the clouds and it seems brighter that way and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s better to say that it’s more harsh. More striking. In a sense, kind of unbearable as it carries a sense of unpleasantness. It’s not the light that I want but it’s the light I’ll have to deal with for the time being if I am to get anything done that involves going outside and not staying inside.

Maybe this light is actually a bad light. Maybe it is an evil light and it presents an ominous foreboding that must be heeded, but may very well not be. If so, then that is a concern and it is one that must be addressed somehow. However, in the event of going outside and being affected by the light, how would I go about warning others? I have no idea as to what the effect will be and I don’t know if I would be able to engage in the act of reversing said effect.

What if there is more than one? What if it changes many a thing and then I am in a state of being unable to do anything?

What if it’s beneficial somehow?

These are questions that I can only answer in one way, unless I see other people outside and directly in the light, but that could take a while and a while is not what I have. There are only so many hours of daylight in the day and so therefore I need to hope that someone outside walks through the small space of viewing that I have. If not, then all is lost and I shall never know. I’ll also be in a position where there will be uncertainty of this light returning, and what if it returns whilst I’m outside already? Then what? Can I escape? Is its impact instantaneous, or gradual? I don’t know.

Perhaps it is time for me to be courageous and head outside myself. Maybe I need to be the one who discovers the impacts in a direct manner. Perhaps I should not be a spectator, but rather a participant. Sometimes it is better to take the plunge than hope others do so. Of course, if I do that and the impacts are negative then I will report them if I can, and if beneficial then I will also report them.

As I’m writing this some blue in the sky is now coming through, and perhaps all will be fine, but for how long?

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 06:21:17

I’m glad I veered away from writing about what the day was going to be, or what I was doing in the particular moment as I prefer to write about the fantastic. Well, I prefer to write about whatever feels like is coming forward and I guess I felt more inclined to write about the fantastic today.

Written at home.
