something changes internally

September 10th, 2005 · 1 Comment

Or, what if instead of winter turning to spring - what if sometime during the winter, the Caveman starts to turn crazy? He can’t handle being locked inside that small damp cave any longer.

Suddenly, his internal world has changed.

He thinks, “Sure, it may be winter outside, but I’m losing my mind in here! I don’t care if I freeze to death, I’ve got to get out of here!”

In both the internal and external examples the balance has been upset. Now this wall, which was built to protect, has become a problem and must be dealt with one way or another.

      what follows is work in progress. Not there yet.

      The shortest GAS log line

      a caveman who wanting to protect himself against the wild beast withdraws behind a door

      finds himself going crazy as a result of:

      staying put,
      hearing the sound of ripe fruits falling from the trees
      or the grumbling of his stomach and BECAUSE of that

      realizes staying in is not (longer) an option

      He ventures out and either eats or is eaten and that feels good or bad..
