Exercise #847: Pick Six
Posted 4/10/20
Roll a die three times, to give yourself three random numbers from 1 to 6. Got 'em? Each number will correspond to a section below. The first number will be your choice from the first set of six below, the second result will be your choice for the second set below, etc. Got it? Okay, here we go.
The virus threat is over and the ban on travel has lifted. The first place you go is:
1. the closest store.
2. a relative’s house.
3. the Bahamas.
4. to buy a car.
5. nowhere.
6. to a lawyer.
When you get there, you talk to:
1. yourself.
2. anyone you can.
3. the stock boy.
4. a relative.
5. an attractive person on the beach.
6. a salesman.
When the dust clears away, you realize:
1. you don’t like people much.
2. you love everyone.
3. you actually have it pretty good.
4. you can make that time for stuff you were ignoring.
5. the colors are much brighter.
6. people band together when necessary no matter how they act at other times.
Got it? Put them all together and tell us a tale. Remember to let us know what your choices were.
