I was comparing
apples and oranges today and it wasn't that hard. Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
Bluffing The
Universe
“Do your best
with the hand you're dealt.”
Again and again
I've heard this expression. Wonderful bit of advice. Take whatever
fate has dealt you and do whatever you can. Certainly goes against
the saying that you can do anything if you can try. I prefer the do
anything if I can try.
I decided to do
the anything if I try. Impossible yes? Certainly you can't do
anything. However that's not how it's going. I'm bluffing the
universe.
No, he's
bluffing the universe. His name is Tom. He's decided that it's now
just a story. No need for “I” here. It's better to be a
character. It's better to live in a castle as a prince. And then next I'll, no, no, it's he, Tom, no Lancelot, the hero. The grocery store
where the supposed Tom works was actually where Lancelot has his
adventures.
Lancelot will
be something else tomorrow. That's the best thing to do. Bluff the
universe. Stack the deck. If you think that you're something that
you're not, believe it your very core, then what does the truth
matter. Call Lancelot's hand universe. He dares you.
