Ordinary (Notes)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have decided to write a novel <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pretty straightforward novel <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About a man who loves his country so much <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That he has decided to serve it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my book I portray him in a simple light <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Ordinary is a polymath with an exceptional IQ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He speaks a number of languages and understands many dialects <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe has only two heroes one is Jesus Christ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> And the other is the explorer Richard Francis Burton <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe is highly educated excelling in all subjects <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has great understanding of grey although he sees things in black and white<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe is employed by his country although officially he does not exist <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other operatives Joe tries not kill as he is a peaceful man <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He appreciates the sanctity of life <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human life he knows is intrinsically good <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it is impermissible to kill the innocent <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe will give the guilty a chance to surrender <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But will destroy them if they continue to fight <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He would rather that an evil man be imprisoned <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That suffer the consequences of violence <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If his actions result in the destruction of others <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he will retire to a retreat and talk to God <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the time is right to do so <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe has a clear knowledge about gender<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like many he knows that only two exist <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He will not enter into what he sees as an empty debate <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His views about what constitutes a perversion are quite clear <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe has a good knowledge of the Bible and has studied many religions <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again he will not enter into empty debates with uneducated fools<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As this might distract him from his far more important duties <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people have passed Joe in the street <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As although quite tall he is unremarkable to look at <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He will as with a chameleon blend into the order of ordinariness <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe is not a hero he does not see himself as a hero <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have not yet decided if Joe has a family <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the inherent dangers of his missions <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If so he will be married to Josephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will have two children Peter and Paul <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe might live next door to you in Arcadia Avenue <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or live in the remote mountains of my imagination <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
