Chapter 007 - 2020.10.10
On this day, I reconnected with a writer friend of mine.
I young woman with a sizable family -
living in the greater Atlanta.
We are not great friends,
but I did think we were pretty good friends.
I'll refer to her as MGWF -
My Georgia Writer Friend.
We actually met on a writer's platform,
She took note of something I posted there.
Attempted to work together a little,
but it never took off as needed to keep us both focused -
and believing something positive would come from the effort.
But we've stayed in touch.
She actually landed an agent/mentor -
and she says -
she loves her and her help.
MGWF is a Young Adult (YA) fiction writer -
who writes mostly sci-fi.
According to the on-screen historical chat record,
it had been just over a year since we last chatted.
I started with the incident probing how-are-you-doing questions.
She got back to me quickly,
but not immediately.
Things were pretty good -
both family life and work life.
A few more questions about her latest project(s) work...
I then did not hesitate -
to tell her,
I had an unusual favor to ask of her.
It was concerning a major decision -
I had just made -
re my life.
I explained that I had been in a very dark place for quite some time -
that I had been considering suicide for quite some time,
but now I had figured out an alternative solution.
The favor was to tell the story - if the new solution actually worked.
I called the new solution:
"Suicide by Murder"
I attempted to explain -
what had happened to me over the past two years.
What I was now tied up in -
and how our world really operates -
behind the scenes of preceded reality.
That I was going to 'go public' -
and that I predicted -
that the 'powers that be' -
would most likely seek revenge.
I did not receive the reaction -
that I had anticipated from this open-minded sci-fi writer.
Instead I got the more typical -
please seek professional help ASAP reaction.
And after an apology from me to her -
I have not heard back from her again -
yet...
