I would love to say that I’m sick of the downside of fame and fortune, but that would be a lie, and you know how I’m not too fond of lies.
I’m not famous, and I’m not fortunate, but I do need to get away.
The decision has been made, but the finer details need to be ironed out.
Like, where do I go?
With everyone locked down and international travel difficult (but not impossible), you would think that my options were limited.
Not so.
I’m an inventive and resourceful person.
I can get around anything and talk my way out of, or into most situations, so many destinations are open to me.
The problem?
Too many choices, so maybe I should take the advice given by a ghost to Odysseus when he asked where to go on his journey.
“Take an oar from your boat and walk inland until you meet someone who doesn’t know what an oar is and asks what you are carrying. That is the place you should be.”
I’m not a seaman, but I am a writer, so I’m going to carry my typewriter until someone asks me what it is.
There shall I settle.

Terry – typo in 3rd to last paragraph – “Who doesn’t know…” ??? I think??? You can wipe this nerdy comment!
A good short yarn. And it’s not a bad idea!

I love this. And I love the image of you carrying around a typewriter until you find a land where people don’t get what it is… a place to hang your hat. And to just go at the words. Very well done, sir!

Thank you kind sir.
I have a choice of typewriters, but the big old black one might make it a short journey.

Always veering towards the boring I thought a keyboard might be lighter but carry the same message. Saving energy is everything while your travelling. Loved the idea of course

Hmmm, yes, a lovely manual typewriter, clickety-clack… But y’know, these 21st-c. days, you wouldn’t have to walk any distance at all to mystify people about that lump of metal in your arms!
