#8 - Festering thoughts

• Everyone needs a break now and then. Morning breaks revealing a beautiful, inviting day. Everyone’s trying to get out of the apartment. Spring is finally here so the lobby is busy with the comings and goings of residents.
  
  
  In the lobby of the Foxberry, two people are standing in front of the fountain. A blonde woman with high, sharp cheekbones, dressed in a suit and an attractive man, clean-shaven, looks neat, also in a suit. They stand next to several big boxes of pamphlets asking people if they have a minute to talk about the sudden outbreak of boils in town. “We’re here to help,” they say, and then smile.  People don’t really know what to make of them. They seem pleasant enough, but their smiles are a little too genuine and their clothes a little ill-fitted.  They say that if members of the building complete a dynamic of scientology, their boils will disappear. After a while, they sometimes slip pamphlets into people’s hands before they realize it. People continue to walk on but quizzically look at the pamphlet in their hands. If someone pauses at the elevator, one of them will slip a pamphlet in a bag of someone unaware.
  
  
  The heading on the pamphlet is Keys to Survival.
  
  
  On each pamphlet one of the “keys to survival” are circled in red pen. 
  1.     The Self - Focus only on self-improvement, don’t worry about anyone else, self-reflection and meditation.
  2.     Creativity-Make something for the future to help make your life better.
  3.     Group Survival -Interact with and depend on others to help you, ask for help and help other people.
  4.     Species - Think about the nature of mankind, put aside group differences to come together as a species because we’re all human.
  5.     Life forms - Realize that life isn’t limited to humans. Care for an animal, plant, or insect.
  6.     Physical Universe –Let-go of material possessions.
  7.     Spiritual - Contemplate the nature of the spirit. Does it exist? Does fate exist? Does self-determination? Accept things with no definite answer
  8.     Infinity - Figure out your place in the universe. Find what makes you happy and what helps others, and do it.
  
  
  In order to rid yourself of your metaphoric boils, your character should include one of the ideas above in your post.  Choose one that will allow your character to rid him/herself of something that is festering in him/her.
