Observed


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 you (an ordinary, everyday individual) found out that the "big bad" (someone important and not very nice) knows who you are?

  1. That’s a broad topic … how big and how bad?

  2. My first thought was political in nature (like a former President), and, honestly, I would be frightened.

  3. Depends on whether that person is a hit man and if I have Ninja skills.

    1. Could be. I was deliberately vague in what the "big bad" was.

  4. I’m not sure I’d care. If anything, I’d probably be flattered. But, if I SHOULD care…what Alex said.

    That said, great question that made me think (an infrequent event, to be sure).

    1. It is kind of flattering, really. But scary at the same time.

  5. Well then you have to ensure and it goes without saying - just dont break the law or do anything harmful towards another human being.

  6. Not much. I'm open book.
    Coffee is on and stay safe

  7. Hmmm. If there is no bad blood between us, I shouldn't worry.

    Happy Wednesday, Liz.

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
