“A Different Life”
The whirring of the ceiling fan blends into a silent soothing hum, as Kyle feels himself get lost in the hypnotic blades circling endlessly above.
The cool gentle air brushes his arms and face, but it doesn’t feel real… as if he’s not meant to be here, right now, in this life. An empty sensation creeps over him, one he has felt in the quiet moments of night, and he senses what could only be his soul hovering above his shell of a body.
Could he have had a different life? One without a job, three kids, and an understanding wife? To think of his life now, it doesn’t feel like his own… like he’s just a passenger on a train following tracks laid down long before he got here. He can’t even quite articulate completely what is tingling in the back of his brain, but it’s there.
He can see himself on an airplane, flying somewhere, anywhere, alone… but that doesn’t quite feel real either. It’s just another “this”.
And maybe that version of him on that airplane feels the same. Nothing changes.
Reality sucks back into his consciousness, as he hears his wife and kids playing in the hallway, their existence reminding him that he forgot to go to the grocery store for eggs and cereal.

An Impending Sense of Doom
(A Classique Doodle from 10/12/2011)Jimmy Bartlett walks down the stairs from his bedroom, smelling a delicious breakfast along the way, and freezes in the kitchen doorway— he can’t quite explain it, but he was suddenly hit by an impending sense of doom.
Something is wrong, he just knows it.
His parents were feeding his baby sister, they had made french toast and bacon for breakfast… everything looks perfect. The Sun is shining, birds are chirping, it’s the weekend, but still— the feeling is strong, and gnaws at him from within.
It’s all great now, sure, and he can’t articulate why he feels this way, but SOMETHING bad is going to happen… any moment now…
The impending sense of doom stays with Jimmy for 88 more years, and then he dies.
