Something Else

as reply to Doug 26 - Jack the Bodybuilder

The editor of his book got paid by the page. He was a consultant in acquisitions and mergers, but on the side, and if he was honest with himself, his true passion was the page. Writing he would sometimes say to his girlfriend of many years was the only time he felt himself. 

"On the page I dance." 

"When will you take me to dance?"

"Tomorrow."

"Its always tomorrow."

This how it would usually go, her on the couch scrolling through other peoples posts and pictures, and sometimes an article, and him talking about the book he's writing or what he was doing. 

"He doesn't even know how to use the right there. "

"That's crazy." She said say with a sort of yawn it was 10pm. 

"I can't believe how self absorbed,  how horrible this guy is."

"You'll make it sound alright though. "

"Of course, thats all I can do, but this I hope isn't my best work, my magnum opus."

"Don't worry dear, more will come, after this it will only get better. "

She shared a video of Jack he was yelling into the screen. 

"Your network is your net worth!"

"Does he say that in what he says to you?"

"No its actually quite tame, maybe his team makes him do this. I don't know, I don't want to know."

But she kept scrolling transfixed. 

She felt like something else was there.
