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 person ranting outside (the one you generally avoid) started making sense?
Oh...I would check myself into the hospital
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wise. :)
DeleteLOL
DeleteWhat Birgit said. Although if he was ranting that the end was near...
ReplyDeleteClearly there's something wrong with my hearing then.
ReplyDeleteIf he was yelling something useful, such as, "Your house is on fire! Get out now!" I would heed his advice. Even a broken clock tells you the right time twice every 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteYes, good point.
DeleteI think i would do what Cynthia said. Listen and see what he was saying. Otherwise I would put on headphones and try to ignore him.
ReplyDeleteBetty
I'd listen to him. If it was a conspiracy theory that made sense, I would check myself in somewhere. If it was "your house is on fire!" I would get out first and ask questions later. And hope he didn't start the fire.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, he totally could have started the fire...
DeleteI’ve heard some truly crazy rants on the NYC subway ...I’d have to check myself if they started to make sense....
ReplyDeleteWho knows? Maybe this world has joined their crazy.
DeleteI seen a few crazy rants on my job. There rant could be justice but there behavior could be something else.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to count how many glasses of wine I had...
ReplyDeleteAh, good point.
DeleteWell like all your deep questions that would all depend on what they are ranting about! haha...if it seemed of interest to me then I would still probably avoid that person, but from a distance so I could hear what they had to say but not having to deal with them one on one.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Who knows what they smell like?
DeleteI will first convince myself that I am not hallucinating. After that, maybe I will listen to what is being said.
