Now playing in theaters near you…

Daily writing prompt
What’s a moment in your life that felt like it was straight out of a movie?

It would be hard to pick only one moment. While it may not be a box office smash hit, it’ll certainly make you squirm in your seat, shed some tears, really come to dislike the bad guys, and want to throw your popcorn at the screen, a time or two.

Though I highly doubt that my journey will make the reviews, it has certainly left an indelible mark on the pages of my memories. How often do we replay a scene from our own circumstances, over and over again? Sometimes the scene is warm and tender, offering moments of quiet reflection. At other times, it feels like a recurring bad movie in our dreams… one that refuses to leave us.

I guess my point is that maybe WordPress could have asked a more specific question, if they really wanted me to answer the prompt. Do any of us carry merely one or two movie worthy memories to recall? I highly doubt it!

Besides, have you seen some of the movies out there, just now? With the falling quality of on screen acting, cheap theatrics, and terrible plot lines, most would find it much more entertaining to simply share their own stories. And, the added bonus to making our own movies is that there aren’t any commercials. Just sayin!
