In a monthly blogging challenge called Secret Subject Swap, I was asked this question: "You think your neighbors have secret superpowers. Do you spy on them? Bribe them? Become friends with them?"
This is extremely difficult for me to answer because I have never enjoyed fantasy - of any type. I don't watch it on TV and I don't read books written in that vein. You get the picture. I am a realist by nature and practical in all areas of my life. So I struggled with this question.
However, as an interviewer on my radio show, I have learned how to ask questions. Hubby says I can go into a room of 25 strangers and in less than an hour I know each of their life stories. That's just it -- I love true life stories. Always have.
But the challenge is that I must answer the question - so here's my best shot. I can be sneaky. I worked for a detective agency in my youth and learned a trick or two about finding out the truth.
This is a Secret Subject Swap blogging challenge. Each month a group of bloggers is given a secret challenge to interpret in their own way. The challenges are just that -- to make you step out of your comfort zone and share your thoughts about that subject in a new way.
My challenge this month gripped my heart. It would take a book to be able to answer it but then again, that is why I wrote my memoir. Battered Hope was written about so many traumas in my own life so other people would be able to relate to me on a variety of levels.
Here is the question posed to me this month and my answer is in the form of other questions:
Has
there ever been a time in your life where, in the heat of the moment,
you would have literally sold your soul for a different outcome if it
was an actual possibility and not just a phrase?
