At the heart of much speculative fiction (and fiction in general) is a question. What if? On Tuesdays I like to throw one out there and see what you make of it. Do with it as you please. If a for-instance is not specified, feel free to interpret that instance as you wish. And if you find this becomes a novel-length answer, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements ;)
What if the worst thing you ever did was the only thing anyone knew about you?
I'm not sure I could put what they'd think of me in print!
ReplyDeleteI would feel like I was back in middle school again. Ugh...
ReplyDeleteI think I would be very embarrassed!
ReplyDeletebetty
Wouldn't we all.
DeleteIf it was the only thing ANYONE knew about me, then I would have no friends at all. Glad that no one knows it about me! Wait! It's really not that bad! LOL another good question
ReplyDeleteI think that'd be true of most of us.
DeleteI'm pretty sure there are at least 6 people who know the worst thing I ever did and that's the only thing they know about me. Luckily it happened 38 years ago. I've said too much.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Do you still talk to those 6?
DeleteI would be a pariah
ReplyDeleteYou always give me the best "what if" questions to get me thinking about future stories!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it works for you.
DeleteAt least I would be famous, something I will never be. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteNot sure that would be worth it, though.
