What can YOU say in six sentences?
THE TWILIGHT CARNIVAL
The Security Guard
They say "birds of a feather flock together," and even though (on most days at least) I try not to listen to "them," for me, the triteness applies. Most of my friends are security guards. One works in a bank, one in an office building, one at a law firm, and one... well, I don't know where she works, actually. I've never asked. When we're all together, they complain mostly, so I don't say much, because I'm happy, and I don't want to brag or annoy; I keep my good fortune to myself. See, I work at the 6S Twilight Carnival: a place filled with wonderful rides, pleasant surprises and remarkable people (my kind of birds, birds I'd choose to fly with anytime); a place I feel privileged to witness from a distance.
(Groove on the FULL Carnival HERE!)

And so it goes, a lot of what is said are complaints.
If only they too might sit more quietly, enjoying the good things. As humans we forget. But see, you gave yourself the time to remember.

Comment by Tess Dickenson on March 13, 2009 at 8:47pm - Well, you see... the birds really like it here... we love the seeds of encouragement and inspiration and friendship that are found here. And 'I' love this piece and the comparisons you've drawn with your invisible thread.

I think a security guard is a secret disguise to get you in with the Nightingales who flock besides the house of Mirrors, you know over by that Tilt O whirl.
This is excellent, Rob. And I'm not just saying that cause you're a man in 6s uniform. Thanks for being a part of Chris' Carnival Creations.
