He knows where you live, he know your thoughts, he follows you everywhere…..

” July 15th, 2013.
Milena Rangelov woke up that morning at 6:50. Mistake. She didn’t wake up. Her mother pulled her out of the bed. Hardly. She was in the middle of the dream about beach volley, crazy off-road drive and bunch of kids. Waking up was like rising from the bottom of the well up to the surface. When she saw her mother’s face, her heart was beating like crazy. First thing that came across her mind was the hot sex scene from the book she read last night before the bed. “Oh boy! Fucking Monday….” thought Milena Rangelov, crawling to the living room. She grabbed the mug of coffee that her mother made. (Thank you Mom.) She took the first sip staring at the wall. Through the wall. If you know anything about Milena Rangelov, then you know that she is not sane before her first coffee in the morning. Don’t ask her anything.
After the coffee, she got ready as quickly as she could and went to the workplace. Listening to the radio on her headphones. Crappy music. Monday morning. She met Marina on the way and said her regular “Hi!”. They meet every morning. According to the exact place of the encounter, Marina was a bit late.
She came at the workplace right on time. Ivana was already there. Poor thing, she worked on Saturday up to 9 pm and to 6 pm on Sunday. “That is not the way to live!”, Milena Rangelov thought for a second, “I’d better not say that I’m tired!”
She started paper work and made a few phone calls. Gave some instructions to her colleagues at field. Nothing special. After her breakfast she did an interesting exercise form a Mondo Beyondo worksheet. It went smoothly until the question:”When have you been proud on yourself?” Then she got stuck. She hasn’t been proud of herself…….like for ages. That wasn’t fair. On that July 15th Milena Rangelov decided to be proud of herself more. …..
Boss came back from the vacation. Tanned. “He is wearing white shirt on the purpose. He wants to emphasize his dark tan….bitch!” thought Milena with her pale face and dark bags under eyes…………….
…….it was a nice day in the life of Milena Rangelov.”
These are the excerpts of an exercise that I did back done and you’ll do today. The name of exercise is:
INVISIBLE REPORTER.
Leave your body and become an invisible reporter. Describe your day (yesterday for instance) to the detail. Write everything as a third person, INVISIBLE REPORTER. Besides of being invisible, he follows you everywhere you go. He has other super-powers. He knows where you live, he can read your mind, he knows your emotions and sensations in your body. He knows your guilty pleasures and your fears, he knows that you ate that last slice of the pizza when no one was watching. You cannot hide anything from this guy!
This exercise is awesome for getting outside of yourself and describing yourself phenomenologically and anthropologically, as suggested in previous post. I had so much fun writing on this prompt, I hope you will to. Set your stopwatch on 20 minutes. Turn on your memory, your senses, your spy talents.
And one more thing. Laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself too seriously. INVISIBLE REPORTER certainly doesn’t. ((Tweet this!))
Your turn. Do this exercise and let me know how did the meeting with the INVISIBLE REPORTER go in the comments bellow.
