Boundless Horizons

He thought – nay – knew – nay – believed that today began the day that began his new career – the Career of the Future! Here it was the present, yet he had stumbled upon it all on his own: the Career of the Future! No more would he worry for money or time or futile tasks; servitude to others in its many mangled forms, for he had uncovered the Career of the Future! Infinite bliss upon creative stimulation upon joyful sighs upon ending his day, every day, every minute, every sense stimulated and writhing in joy, bristling to return before even having left, all in rapture of this, his joy, his newfound love, his epiphany: the Career of the Future! The past no more dragging down his shoulders, bowing his back, pounding his head with endless tedium, mindless, numb, boring, grave; dull dull dull… the past faded as he slipped upward into the sharp, vibrant, saturated vivacity of the Career of the Future!

He picked up the phone and dialed quickly, as one is wont to do when pursuing the Career of the Future . A weary voice answered. He proclaimed his discovery of his one, his only, his brand new purpose to send him – nay – propel him – nay – rocket him into the brand new space orbiting the brand new world of newness in his brand new Career of the Future. He was met with silence until, finally, the weary voice replied, “The position has been filled.”
