Writers Island #7 - "Haunted"

Are other islanders haunted by people who miss the point?

You know the ones ...

When you tell a story they only see it as an opportunity to one up you, to tell you something that’s usually not relevant … Ooops sorry, how dare I, their mind is racing to blurt their thoughts … the ones that prattle on without one iota of what you’ve said, what you need or what you’re about?

By people who instead of handing out praise, can’t wait to regale you with something they believe is of a similar consequence?

By people who make everything about them – see previous two paragraphs!

By people who don’t see the funny side, who see the majority of life shrouded by doom and gloom?

By people who “don’t get it”… whether a trend, a tradition, anything unique, kooky, eccentric, with a smidge of individuality, or the bizarre … stuff that zooms, whooooshes over the top of their selfish noggins.

So … who we gonna call … Ghostbusters?
