I have switched my monitor so
that the page I am typing on is black instead of white, and the letters show up
as white. It turns out that looking at a blank black page is somewhat like peering into a dark room. I wonder what is in there. I know there is a story, but what is it
about?
Is this to be a mystery - a
who-done-it? Maybe it is a simple tale
of a lonely can of beans, rolling back and forth across the deck of a ship, as
it makes its way to the next port. The
vacationers in the cabin below wonder what that strange noise is. Should they report it? Has something important broken lose from the
ship, and maybe the captain should be made aware of it?
Then again, maybe they will just
investigate for themselves. What does it
matter if it is dark out and everyone else is still sleeping. Just how spooky can a strange ship at night
be, anyway?
Once we leave this room, we just need
to walk down a very long hallway, past everyone’s cabin, make our way to the
stairs and then try and find the area over our room. How hard can that be? And will we still hear the noise once we’re
up there?
So far, I'm liking the black page system. It seems to have much more adventure in it than staring at a boring white page.
We'll have to see how it goes.
