It was a regular weekend. I was flipping through channels mindlessly. It was just how my life was at this moment. Single, aimless, uninterested bored and constantly hunting for a change. I had devoured all the junk in my fridge and my downloads.
Just like my love life, I didn't have the energy to start something new.I was looking for something that would be a quick fix for my current state. I put in 'short stories' in my Youtube search and I saw a thumbnail I liked. I clicked on it. The duration of 10 minutes seemed doable.
The video started playing and it was like I was watching my life scene by scene. The girl in the video seemed to be my age. She seemed partly numb because of the life she had led. She also seemed single like me. Like no man had given her the sense of security she deserved. She seemed to be yearning for some kind of closure. Her unresolved issues had brewed for so long that it had made most of her relations bitter. It showed her mundane life, going on and on till death shall do them part.
My current life was a drag but somehow watching it on video was captivating. Guess I still did like watching myself. Was my ex-boyfriend right in calling me self obsessed? The girl in the video even dressed like me. It got me questioning myself whether I had become boring.
One fine day the girl in the video gets an invitation. A very strange invitation. I thought to myself if I would have gotten an invitation like that I would rather die boring than seek that adventure! How about we call the girl in the video Becky?
