I woke up as the sky began to lighten in the mid-November sky. I was shivering. But I wasn’t cold. And it wasn’t fear I felt, either. It was an anticipation that something was coming. Something big.

Reblogged this on Still Another Writer's Blog and commented:
And that “something big” was not a “sales event” by Toyota or Volkswagon or Nissan, either. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3rVk9yWd0Q

Sarah, this is eerie. My wife and I have discussing this feeling for the past two weeks. We feel something big is coming our way.

couldn’t resist adding the symbolism of November as the throes of death – winter being symbolically representative of death.

yep. and it’s fun unraveling the ones in your work. anyone who misses this in your work is like the man who finds out his wife of six years can have orgasm from two drunken men in a bar fight over the woman.
