For L.C. Schäfer's One Dollar Challenge - Quote Me Baby (Goldblum Edition)
Note: this is for L.C. Schäfer's One Dollar Challenge - Quote Me Baby (Goldblum Edition). Maybe I am being a little too literal with this, but it is my first entry and I am very exhausted after the end of a semester and the beginning of new contracts:
Enjoy my drabble!

I agreed with him at the time, but I could not say a thing. I was financing the damn project myself, and if I admitted that Mother Nature did not care for all the precautions we took, the entire park would have been shut down. In all likelihood, I would have been in jail without the slightest chance of parole or a reprieve from the courts. Instead, it seems as though I have been forgiven and the project is now in other hands. I guess that's how it is.
I guess it will go on.
It must be our nature.

Logic and reason are not always explanation enough.
Logic and reason are not always explanation enough. Understanding is elusive He sat looking at the half empty glass but not seeing it, he was cold but not feeling it, he was in pain but not hurting from it. His mind was numb, his memory a jumble of conflicting events, as if from a nightmare but were in fact real. The phone rang for a long time before it gained his attention and then he tried to turn it off, an automatic reaction against coming back to reality. His mind preferred the numbness to anything else that was available. In this distracted state he accidentally accepted the call and put it onto speaker, the voice from the speaker jolted him into giving it his full attention. This was a call from the dead. The voice was full of concern, “where are you John, why haven’t you called, what is going on?” Even to his own ears his tone sounded subdued, defeated, “I am in the cabin, in the woods but I am OK will call you later” and he turned the phone off both ending this call and not accepting any other.

So happy I found this - nearly missed it because it was nested under your other comment! Whoops! THANK YOU for taking part 😁
I guess so. As long as there's a Goldblum, there's a way.
I like the angle you took for the challenge. Great drabble, Kendall
