Sunday Writing Prompt, May 9/2021 – Beautiful Mistake

Hello, friends 🙂

Welcome back to, Sunday Writing Prompt!

The prompt I chose for this week resonates with me for many reasons, as I’m sure it does for others. But, even if it doesn’t, hopefully it gets your creative wheels turning.

I find the term, Beautiful Mistake very intriguing in its complexity.

Did you choose the wrong partner, but developed boundaries and self-confidence that prepared you for the right one?

Did you accidently knock your coffee over your written manuscript, but when you re-wrote, it turned out even better?

Did you take a job you ended up hating, but made a new best friend?

[…] It’s Autumn 2023, and the Covid-19 scare has lost its clout with many Americans.Cases are down but, far more importantly, deaths from Covid-19 are well below those being recorded from the seasonal flu. A success that vaccinations fully claimed.Chancy had not been vaccinated. She was a nurse who’d found the suppression of information on excellent early treatments terribly unnerving since 2020 and she also resisted the flood of media propaganda rationalization that the ‘vaccine’ was totally safe. There was NO way of being that certain. It was, after all, an experiment.Chancy wasn’t obese, and had no other comorbidities that would lower her chances of survival from the virus below 99%. So, after checking with her doctor that he had access to early treatments, she couldn’t reasonably consider an “emergency experimental vaccine” as a good choice. Chancy couldn’t put her finger on it, but something just seemed terribly wrong.Still, she was told by everyone she knew that her decision was a mistake. Ultimately she responded to all of them, “It’s my mistake to make!”.Of course, with a barrage of many coercive forces, a part of her wondered if she had made the wrong decision?It was early November 2023, when an alarming news story suddenly filled the media. The headline was: A New Version of Corona Virus Is Sweeping the World!The rest of the story claimed that it was primarily targeting, and killing, the vaccinated population.“How could that be?” she wondered.Apparently, the new virus was also coming from China. Those citizens, who’d been vaccinated, had artificially, and inadvertently, trained their immune system to simply ignore new corona viruses through the experimental vaccination process! The success rate had been good but the unanticipated future of the ‘experiment’ was now decimating the world.Chancy slipped on her shoes and headed straight for the hospital to offer aid. This was going to be cataclysmic! A futuristic nightmare of epic proportion.For matters of her own health, she took only a little comfort in knowing she’d made one beautiful ‘mistake’ by not getting vaccinated. But, this wasn’t a time for ‘I told ya so’.Sunday Writing Prompt, May 9/2021 – Beautiful Mistake | Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie (wordpres… […]
