From Desk Jockey to Dream Weaver: Betsy Burton's Literary Odyssey

My Mom told me about a dream she had about winning a bowling tournament with a new black bowling ball. I have been trying to cure my writer’s block for a while now. Years, probably. I used the excuse that I didn’t have time but was scared and stuck. I’m happy to report:

In a small town nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a young girl named Kathryn who had a peculiar recurring dream about a black bowling ball. In her dream, the bowling ball seemed to glow with an otherworldly sheen, and every time she reached out to touch it, she would wake up with a start.

Curious and intrigued by this mysterious dream, Kathryn decided to visit the old abandoned bowling alley on the outskirts of town. As she stepped inside the dusty lanes, she was greeted by the sight of rows of bowling balls, each one more colorful than the next. Yet, there, at the end of the lane, sat a solitary black bowling ball, just like the one from her dream.

Hesitantly, Kathryn picked up the black bowling ball, feeling its smooth surface and weight in her hands. Suddenly, a warm light enveloped her, and she found herself transported into a surreal bowling alley filled with twinkling stars and galaxies.

In this dreamlike world, Kathryn discovered that the black bowling ball was no ordinary object—it was a magical portal to different realms and dimensions. With each roll of the ball, she journeyed through fantastical landscapes, meeting strange creatures and overcoming challenges she never thought possible.

As she finally woke up from her dream, Kathryn realized that the black bowling ball was a symbol of her own untapped potential and the endless possibilities that awaited her if she dared to venture beyond the confines of her comfort zone. Inspired by her dream, Kathryn embarked on new adventures with a newfound sense of courage and wonder, knowing that sometimes, dreams can lead us to extraordinary places we never imagined.
