☕ Good Morning! 🍵 Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum. Join us, please. ____________________________________________________ McGovern78 is our newest MOTley contributor! His stories will appear from time to time, but I’ll let him tell you about himself and Bolly: Hello! Many of you may know me as not being the person in your mirror.

(Don’t Blink!) So because it might help make sense — I have volunteered

to contribute stuff I wrote, submissions to MOT. I can skip rocks pretty

good too, but it loses something saying so. ____________________________________________________ Bolly was abandoned as an infant, swaddled in an unusual hat. Folks took him in, passed him around, and he grew up in and into his unusual hat. And so one day he chose a direction, away, and said goodbye. There isn’t much else to tell. He has no enemies. Done no crimes. If it makes any difference, there’s maybe three things you might want to know. He walks, he eats, and he sleeps. I did mention his unusual hat? so then, away we go… ____________________________________________________

— it wasn’t imagined to happen — . It wasn’t imagined to happen, but Bolly was suddenly awake, and three people, no longer complete strangers, were arguing. He soon realized whatever it was about was about him. He wanted to ask, where am I — but thought better of it. Running away became his plan, from what, or who, or even which direction. Away was always the best plan. Still, he was as hungry as confused, but getting away promised new possibilities. .

Bolly! one of them yelled, and he was right out the window, swinging up to the roof, watching. Then he looked around. Then he realized all he was wearing was his pants and his unusual hat. I’ve been sleeping, he may have whispered, maybe not.

.

Bolly! Bolly! he heard the searching shouts. He swung back down into the room, found the rest of his clothes, and his easy walking boots. On the way out he went through the kitchen, mumbled a prayer he didn’t know the words to, and left, heading the other way, with a little something for breakfast, and supper. He forgot to wonder how they knew his name. Well, he didn’t care. I’ve enough here for breakfast tomorrow, he said out loud.
