Maybe I'll Achieve Something!
I need to get ready for the explosion event tomorrow. What do I need? I step into the The Blast Factory and look around.
Coated paper: two. Check.
Cannon powder: one pound. Check.
Neon Spray paint: 4 cans. Check.
High speed fuse: one roll. Check.
Rocks: a box full. Check
Stencil: one. Check
I need something else. Duh.
What do you need, hombre? Hombre?
I look around the studio again.
I lose my focus and think about possibilities.
What did I want?
No clue.
Seriously?
I need.
Crap, what do I need?
I'm standing there.
Then.
Dude! Got it!
A lighter.
I hold up the lighter. Click.
Cool it works.
Maybe I'll achieve something.
