You Must Carry (Short Funny Story)



"You must carry"
"You must carry"

They tiny crowd of happy guests chanted as the milled about outside the entrance of the church ...taking turns to snap pictures with the latest couple in town.

It was now time for the couple to take their personal pictures alone.

They crowd wanted they groom to carry his new bribe that is why they chanted "you must carry".
...but there was only one problem.

A big problem.

The bride was 2 times the size of the man.

If you looked at the new couple and was asked who should carry who , you would (without even thinking twice ), point to the wife .

...but that is not the traditional thing.

It is the husband who does the carrying.

So as the guests kept repeating like a broken record  "you must carry".

The husband,dressed with shiny black suede suit with a black bow tie to match, out of idiocy or to prove ...he could literary carry his wife ...and take care of his bride...decided to do the unthinkable.

He bend over a little and attempted to lift up his wife.

The wife , hesitated at first and with her eyes, tried to dissuade his groom from lifting her.

...but he persisted .

He wasn't going to let people hear he could not carry his wife.He wasn't going to be a laughing stock.A story  people will always remembers and tease him with.

Never.

Not going to happen.


So using all the strength he could muster , he lifted his darling wife ...to the cheers of the guests.

As the cameraman was about to take shots ,the groom's feet began to wobble like someone who was drunk on alcohol and before anyone could say " don't do it" ...

The couple fell heavily on the dusty ground ,messing up their wedding dresses and injuring themselves.

writer's block

So i sat staring at my laptop screen for minutes, like it was about to reveal a secret to me.

Why?

...because i had no idea what to write.

I think it's called writer's block...then i immediately remembered what one of my mentors said about writer's block.

"it does not exist.It only means you don't know what to do next".

Another mentor,who is a friend to my first mentor said...

"when you don't know what to write , just type blah, blah ,blah , blah ...till something comes to your head .When it does ,write it down"

There is one reason why he asked me to do this, (and it does work ) and the reason is this...

"Movement always beats inaction".

He explained ...as you go through the motion of writing or typing blah blah..something will pop into your head.

So here am i trying it out and thinking hard for a story for this blog.

And i guess it works ...because i have just typed over 100 words.

Good night.
