Anticipation
On all of my social media feeds over the last week, I've been making my very first post of the day a simple, single number. I began at '10', and have worked my way down now, as of this morning of Thursday, March 4th, 2021, to '2'. This countdown has been on my Facebook, Twitter, Parler, MeWe, Gab, Minds, and Pocketnet (though I gaffed and forgot about Pocketnet until '7').
Only a couple of folks have commented, and only once I hit '4' a couple of days ago. There's no concern here, as these are friends of mine, and they don't suspect anything nefarious. I'm quite thankful for that, because there really isn't anything to worry about here, folks.
But there is something to look forward to once the count reaches '0'. It's something I've had sitting and waiting to share, and I hope it's received well. Only time will really tell on that score.
For now, know this- if you are reading this, then you are part of the reason I do what I do. I'm a storyteller, a bard, if you'll indulge me a moment's delusion of fancy, and a bard only really needs one thing to make their efforts worthwhile;
An audience.
Let the countdown continue.
