Pick apart my brain and you'll find nothing because nothing is exactly what lives there...

-B. Vigilant.

~~~

tired of the bustling

demands of you?

tired of being asked

questions you can't find

the answers to?

Maybe you're fed up with

flunking every test

life hurls your way.

well, don't be discouraged!

you can now rid everyone

of the very ego

they know you as

without leaving a trace...

you heard it right! if you

take advantage of this

life-erasing offer now,

you can disappear permanently

with

Blink Away

simply call the number on

your screen and

we'll show you how to

erase the mistakes.

how to only exist in

the shadows of oblivion.

how to turn your presence into

an indecipherable afterthought...

you left reality long ago.

why not seal the deal

with a great opportunity

to become a story never finished.

a glitch in the matrix.

a person who returned their name...

sounds too good to be true,

right?

but now you ask,

how do we accomplish

such a feat?

the answer comes easier than staying

where you are right now!

pack nothing because you don't need

reminders of yesterday!

bring only your commitment

to recede from view and any survival skills

left in the tank.

Blink Away will do the rest!

unlike the invariable

qualities of plastic pride,

we'll help you degrade

in the minds of those who say they

care.

they don't!

why should you?

let your shadow live in infamy—

legacies are for sissies.

a confidential Utopia awaits you at

the heart of being nowhere.

so, what are you waiting for?

vanishing won't wait all day!

act now!

    "We'll help you degrade in the minds of those who say they care, they don't!"- Yes, yes, sign me up, please! I guess this makes me clinically desperate, LOL! Excellent take on the challenge, Lamar!

  • D.K. Shepard6 months ago

    Outstanding dark humor piece, Lamar! Several times I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Brilliant!

  • Sandy Gillman6 months ago

    This is such an original idea! Great entry!

  • Raymond G. Taylor6 months ago

    Ha ha ha love it. You should be in the advertising business Lamar. Surely a winner and TS

    Spectacular take on this challenge! “Become a story never finished” was a great line

  • Yes I'm clinically desperate hahahahahaha. I need this so badly! Loved your creative take on this challenge!

    Brilliant!

  • JBaz6 months ago

    Lamar this is a breath of fresh air. A whimsical tale made for the desperate. Great line: 'Blink Away... We don't disappear until you do.'

  • I would file a lawsuit for patent infringement but that would require that I exist as a plaintiff which would kind of defeat the purpose. Brilliant, Lamar.

  • Rachel Robbins6 months ago

    Clinically desperate is a great phrase.

  • Mariann Carroll6 months ago

    Excellent creation ! Enjoyed

  • Heather Hubler6 months ago

    Clever!! And that final line, hahahaha!! 'Legacies are for sissies' had me cracking up. This was wonderfully creative, Lamar :) Maybe you should be in advertising, lol?

  • Love this, Lamar! Super unique and clever take on the challenge. The disclaimer at the end is great too, really ties everything together.

  • This sounds like a process already in action! It also sounds like a horror movie waiting to be written. You take Malcolm Gladwell's views on a blink to a whole new level. The poem inspired thoughts about all is going on and behind the scenes. I enjoyed the ride but find that I need toI bat my eyes to let the tears help me see more clearly.
