I’m starting a new category to intersperse with letters to myself, which I’m calling sentence snippets!
I’ve mentioned previously that the way I get a lot of my ideas is by looking at random things and thinking, “what if?” Sometimes, I push for these thoughts because I’m bored or trying to come up with new concepts or don’t want to too closely mimic something I find cool.
Sometimes, fun introductory (or completely out-of-context) sentences come from these exploratory adventures.
Therefore, I’ve decided to catalogue them there, at least for now! No explanation. No preamble (except in this post, of course), no context. Your imagination will likely derive a completely different yet equally beautiful story from a single line of text than the one mine did.
Therefore, I here present my first sentence snippet:
Most people weren’t taught along the course of their lives that they should always have a go-bag within reach, containing, at the bare minimum: a week’s rations, a lightweight but durable coat, a burner cell phone with activation card, comfortable shoes, adventuring clothes, probably a toothbrush, and definitely $1000 cash. In this instance, she was fortunate to have had the message drilled into her head by her grandfather.
