Awakening, The Prophet

The coffee shop was a block from the Hendant building. There was an area with comfy couches where people could sit, and talk, and read.

A couple was in deep discussion as Moses sat with his crushed ice and coffee drink.

“We’re two sensible adults, and I realise it probably meant nothing to you. I just want you to acknowledge that you stopped calling me because of that other woman you left the party last night with.”

“Were you at the party?”

“No. Tabby told me.”

“Listen, Susan, I stopped calling you for a completely different reason.”

“Yes?”

The man grew a little flustered. “Listen, why the third degree? I thought we had something, I mean, I really like you.”

“The feeling is definitely mutual.”

The conversation continued.

What lives we lead.

It was amazing to see a girl, who had been hurt by a guy she might have fallen in love with, listening to the waffle coming out of the man’s mouth, taking it in. Perhaps she knew the lies and didn’t care.

“It’s up to you to decide who I’m going to end up with.”

This from Susan, the woman. Moses realised that there were two playing the game. Both hardened criminals in the prison that was love.

This is why I cast it aside. There is too much hurt involved. Pain and heartbreak. Better by far to write.

Moses had checked for the garishka when he left the Hendant building, but it had gone.

Or it was never there.

That was possible.

Moses probably would have filed it away after a few days, except that, as we know, this was the day that everything changed. And not just in the thread that was Moses Lawd’s life.

A third individual came and joined the couple, who seemed to have reached an agreed stalemate. There would probably be no clear winner. Which meant two losers. After a bit of chatter, they got up and left.

Moses sat and cleared his mind. The energy that was within him this day could not be denied.

I’m going to get fit. Lose weight.

Moses had never been one to kid himself, at least not for long. As mentioned, his honesty with himself was his greatest strength. But this felt right. He would get fit.

In the end, it wasn’t just a drive within him that caused fitness and weight loss. It was environment and events.

But it did happen. And much more on top of that.
