I love a Monday. I hear a lot of TGIF, but I love a Monday.
To me Mondays are beginnings. I don’t know what’s going to happen this week. It’s exciting. Could be awesome. That applies to both the real world and the imaginary world. In the real world this could be the week the US Government starts to take climate change seriously. That’s a Monday announcement, not a Friday one. In the imaginary world maybe Brix meets an opponent she can’t defeat, or she gets herself into a jam that tough to get out of. (Don’t end a sentence with a preposition.) At the moment she’s facing a bomb she doesn’t know how to disarm. I think I know what’s going to happen, but you’re never certain until it happens. I tried to kill Johnny Quick like four times, but he kept surviving.
Fridays are the other hand are endings. The week is over. What’s happened has already happened. The blank page that began on Monday will then be full on Friday. The week is over. There is a sadness to that. In the real world people release news they want to bury on Fridays. More ICE crackdowns are announced on Friday. Illegal firing of people announced late afternoon on a Friday. A lot of bad news when they think people aren’t paying attention. Plus on Fridays the imagination needs rest. Nothing happens on Saturday or Sunday. Brix is frozen in place until Monday. That’s why Monday’s are awesome.
