I receive my Call to Adventure in the form of a text. It is not from a real person. It states that a prescription beginning with INS is ready.
The Call to Adventure comes at an inconvenient time. I am inhabiting my Ordinary World, which means I am having a snack and don’t have pants on. Plus, it is 7:58 p.m. and I am pretty sure the CVS cut more staff and reduced its hours. Also, I am not feeling 100 percent and it is only Tuesday. I must Refuse the Call.
A Mentor appears. He says his name is Lodi. He looks like a very famous mentor, but not too much like him, since that mentor’s name and likeness are proprietary to LucasFilm International. I tell him that I have been to Lodi, a lovely town in Bergen County, and in fact I think I dated a girl from there when I was in high school. He tells me this is all an unfortunate coincidence, that the girl was from Englewood, and that in any event we are late to Cross the First Threshold.
