Dark but interesting thoughts

I was watching the video above earlier because I love the native American flute and this is a particularly beautiful visual.

But then my darker nature took over and I thought “what if the bear suddenly bit off the girl’s head?”

Then my dark humor took over and I thought “what if the girl suddenly bit off the bear’s head?”

Then the literary side of my nature stepped up and noted, “if the bear bites off the girl’s head, then that’s either drama, adventure, or horror. But if the girl bites off the bear’s head that is either exceptional horror, supernatural horror, or fantasy.”

These are my musings after very little sleep over the past few days and very little coffee so far today (as of 7:52 a.m.).

Thoughts like this are not just why I write, but why I need to write.
