Writer's Block: Half a Glass

Optimist. There is always a plate of bacon and eggs around the corner. Though not, like, lurking, waiting to kill. Except with congestive heart failure, maybe.

Um...

Let us leave our old friend in one of those moments of unmixed
happiness, of which, if we seek them, there are ever some,
to cheer our transitory existence here. There are dark shadows
on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast. Some men,
like bats or owls, have better eyes for the darkness than for the
light. We, who have no such optical powers, are better pleased
to take our last parting look at the visionary companions of many
solitary hours, when the brief sunshine of the world is blazing
full upon them.

Revel in the brief sunshine, or the memory of it.

I would be very nervous about that plate of eggs in bacon around the corner, because if it hasn't already been devoured, then why is it just sitting there? Is it like that wad of Geico money, staring at you with its googly eyes and contemplating Things Man Was Not Meant To Contemplate?

Edited! My bacon isn't the lurking kind. Except lurking in arteries, and such.

"Lurking around the corner" was such a vivid image!
