imagine a different world.

Way back when, around 4 years ago, I began writing a story entitled Exit Only. I didn’t write very much, but I believed that I had a good start. For some reason though, I stopped writing, just gave up and forgot about it. I tend to do that…

I haven’t read Exit Only since I last revisited it years ago, and at that point I thought it was decent. Who knows if it still is? It could be horrendous and embarrassment. However, I have wanted to put the beginning out there. I want other people to read it. I want to see what other people think.

So, here it is. Please, comment below…

A man was walking down the street, looking up at the blue sky, looking down at the beautiful flowers and looking around at the people walking past him at speeds ten times faster then him. This man was in no hurry to get anywhere. He was not worrying about what appointments he had to get to, or where he had to drive his kids too. This random man in a crowd of thousands had no kids, and had just been laid off from his job two weeks earlier. He wasn’t wearing a suit like most everyone else in the crowd; he was in shorts and a t-shirt. It was the summer and he wanted to be comfortable, and of course try to prevent the sweating from his underarms. No matter how much deodorant he would use, as long as he was in a suit, he would sweat and sweat and sweat. But enough about that, you are probably wondering why this man is so important, if he has no kids, no job and what seems to be no cares in the world. Well, this man goes by the name of Thomas Johns, sometimes other names also, but it would take up the whole book to list all of the other ones. Think to yourself if you have heard the name Thomas Johns before, and I am thinking you have not. But hopefully, as soon as you finish reading this story, you will never forget the name: Thomas Johns.
