ILLUMINATION-Curated
I-C: Where You Are Very High
A story about I-C.
The Patient walks into the room of The Doctor. The Patient is really confused about why The Patient got the notification to get into the room of The Doctor. The Doctor opens the green pastel door of his office. The door cracks a little bit. It is an old door in an old building dated from 1785 where Prince Wolfgang lived with his wife Sandra. This building was almost gone if The Doctor didn’t buy this old building and rebuild it as it was before.
There is a little silence between The Patient and The Doctor. The Patient sits down on the couch. The Patient coughs and takes a look on his phone what time it is.
The Patient is talking out of nowhere.
“Am I landed on the Intensive-Care?”, The Patient asked.
“No, you are not there.”, The Doctor said.
“But you wrote I-C, right?”, The Patient replied heavily.
“Yes, but it is the other I-C.”, The Doctor added calmly.
“Am I high or something? Because I don’t understand it.”, The Patient asked.
“Absolutely.”, The Doctor told The Patient.
“No way, I’m not hurt, right?”, The Patient asked worriedly.
“No, you’re not hurt at all. Maybe from all the words that you got smashed through your head.”, The Doctor replied with a big smile on his face.
The Doctor takes a step towards The Patient.
“I really don’t understand. I am so confused now. I think you made me high earlier. Can you please explain?”, The Patient replied rapidly.
The Doctor smile more and more now he confused The Patient.
“No. No. It’s the opposite. You’re in a happy place.”, The Doctor said. “You've landed in ILLUMINATION-Curated.” The Doctor continued.
Another silence was hanging in The Office. The room of The Doctor smelled weird like there was someone high. The Patient saw a glass of candle lighting next to the Computer of The Doctor. That is what The Patient smells. The Patient was thinking, and after a few seconds, his bell was ringing.
“So, that is what you mean with I-C.”, The Patient replied with wide eyes.
“Yes, of course.”, The Doctor told The Patient.
The Patient looked curious towards The Doctor.
“Can you explain what that ILLUMINATION-Curated is all about. Now you’re making me so curious.”, The Patient asked The Doctor.
“Glad you asked. Because I am so proud of it that it exists.”, The Doctor said. “Oh, yes, of course! I-C — as I told you — is ILLUMINATION-Curated.” The Doctor continued.
The Doctor walked through his home office while sipping his coffee. Staring from his window with old patterns, The Doctor — a little bit unrested and sipping from his coffee again — smiles when he explains what I-C really means, not only to him.
The Patient listens carefully. He is sitting on the couch in The Office. Taking a long sip of his water. He lies on the couch as if he was home, legs on the whole couch as he is sleeping, but carefully listening to the story of The Doctor.
“So, explaining I-C — as we call it.”, as The Doctor faces his body towards The Patient, “it means that you can write high-end quality articles on Medium.com, published in this amazing publication called ILLUMINATION-Curated. Your article could be curated by Medium itself, or by the Editors of ILLUMINATION.”, The Doctor continues.
The Patient is more interested and sits down on the red leather couch. He leans forward to The Doctor with his ears wide open.
“So, I am able to read high-end quality stories? And who can write? Are you invited or how does that work?” The Patient asks, leaning his whole body towards The Doctor out of curiosity.
“So I was not aware of these stories. I had a different perspective than I had before? I could be more curious about the topic if I read the story.” The Patient continued asking out loud, being surprised and confused at the same time.
The Doctor turns around and looking at The Patient deep into his eyes, and widely open his arms.
“All these high-quality content must have a place. A warm family. That family is ILLUMINATION, and another family is ILLUMINATION-Curation. In I-C you get high-quality content from great writers in ILLUMINATION, and Medium.”, The Doctor said with a sweet smile on his face.
“I love to read high-end articles.”, The Patient said firmly.
The Doctor takes his phone out of his pocket. Quickly types something onto the screen.
“I have sent you the link to this publication. It is a miracle that these publications still exist. There are so many articles not well written online.”, The Doctor added.
The Doctor paused for a while. The silence told a lot about how The Doctor feels about this publication. He is so happy he found this publication. He goes to that publication every hour of the day.
