I guess it all boils down to the situation I’m facing.

3 - Write a story that uses the phrase "a shot in the dark" in the first sentence.

Sometimes it’s a shot in the dark with my instincts, a feeling makes me nervous and butterflies start swarming around in my gut. This usually happens when I am meeting someone for the first time and for reasons unknown I automatically feel mistrust or something doesn’t sit right and my radar guide goes off full throttle.

Other times though I am caught completely off guard and blindly follow the mistrusting instincts allowing major turmoil to blossom in the mind. This is where I feel like a fool for believing that my heart could be played like a worn out fiddle. Yes, love has showed me that my defenses can be weak and my instincts have been fooled once again.

Religion is another thing that plays havoc with my instincts, I have a strong feeling inside my whole body that screams to the masses that they are a herd headed in the wrong direction, being shuffled into hell with false teachings of “give more money to the basket to ensure your entry to heaven”. Don’t misunderstand me, I have unbreakable belief in our Lord and Master, knowing I have to answer for my sins on judgement day. But my instincts tell me that the preacher who stands before his congregation and offers false prophecy’s for monetary gain is NOT showing you the truth. What sense does it make to believe you can do wrong all week, be forgiven on Sunday and repeat each week for life and get a free pass?

So yea, sometimes my instincts get it right and other times gets it wrong.
