Talk Show

You probably won't remember me being on that talk show, you know, that daytime faux psychologist who yells at people and drags them through the dirt in order to make 'good TV', that one? It was a little over a decade ago. 

I'm not even sure how it happened, I don't recall agreeing to be on the show. I was just suddenly there, on a stage, with bright lights and an angry man accusing me of stuff I never did. 

I do remember his booking agent calling me several times, always making it sound like they wanted to praise me for my parenting. It sounded like b.s. I kept saying 'No'. 

So there I was, sitting in a chair on stage with this p.o.s tearing into me about stuff he said I did. He didn't bother to do any research, no fact checking, just anything that anyone ever said about the person he thought I was was in play as far as he was concerned. 

He accused me of cheating on my husband, I wasn't married as far as I knew, so what the actual fuck was he talking about? He brought out this man I never met, and had him accuse me of meeting with him, driving an hour away and all that. I don't drive, I've never had a driver's license, how the fuck would I be driving an hour away? And what town did he say? That's in a different State, that's way more than an hour away. 

He yelled at me, insulted me, tried to make me feel small and himself enormous. 

I spoke up against these falsehoods. I said words that angered him. He decided to turn everyone and everything against me. He decided to spend his money to influence the laws in my State against me, and other poor disabled people. 

I was having a psychic episode brought on by a recent head injury, so I saw what he was going to set off. So many visions were set off in my head, one after another, all the things that he was going to do because I hurt his snowflake supremacist ego. 

I tried. Honestly, I tried. I kept my power in check as long as possible, I even tried to call out to my BFF, I looked straight at the camera and spoke to him, to my guy and begged him to step in. 

I didn't know what I expected, but when I saw that blue box, I remembered. 

It was the episode where the welfare mom was attacked by the host, only to have her turn it around on him and accidentally 'out' the guy's daughter, sitting in the front row. Remember that one? 

You shouldn't. I made my case to the other gods and got that timeline erased. I did a Thing, and I wanted them to let it be for the time. Something bigger was about to happen, and I did not need the added chaos that the talk show host would have set off. Plus, it wasn't fair to the other people that those laws would affect. They agreed. Eventually. 

I got a sort of extension for Earth 🌎. It could continue until I was ready to go. Whoa, don't worry! I have many lives. One of me dies, there are plenty more around. 

One thing I would like to point out is that I'm not naming the show or the host. I don't quite think it happened on this plane. I don't believe it was even really that host. I think it was some kind of demon or trickster, at one point I felt as though I was pleading to the gods to control their child, so maybe a demigod?

Time reset in any case. I should be the only one to remember that. I'm not sure if I should actually publish this, however I did promise to tell my story. This is one tiny part of it.
