I could go ahead only if you'd let me use a small paragraph or so from your blog to go with the link to your blogs. Looking forward to your approval. Thanks, in advance.

They are paired to think in two...I have two brains. They are paired to think in two separate terms. They often work simultaneously. But it really starts getting difficult when thoughts start jumbling up. These are times when I must surrender.<BR/><BR/>In my leaving memories, there used to be a river. It kept flowing. Incessantly. Untiring.<BR/><BR/>In my other memory that refused to leave, there used to be a girl beside its bank. She kept sitting. Incessantly. Untiring.<BR/><BR/>I could swear that these two memories were unrelated. But they were inseparable. I remember walking to the girl for the first time and asking her -<BR/>"why are you always sitting over here?"<BR/>"Need it have a reason?", she looked back at me.<BR/>"A question can never be an answer to another question."<BR/>"I don't believe in answers.", she answered, indifferently.<BR/><BR/>Since then at the beginning of some uncertain dusks, I went and sat beside her. We never spoke. Just watched the water flowing. Listened to its music.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember when I stopped visiting her. Perhaps, the day I died. Perhaps, the day she did. Perhaps, the day we all do.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I remember now is that the river was a part of my leaving memories whereas the girl wasn't. Therefore, the river slowly stared fading out. And when the river was no more I watched the girl sitting in front of a defying blankness. Staring at nothing over the horizons. Without the flowing river time no longer moved for her. She sat trapped in a single unending moment .... within one unending heartbeat resided her life. And the sound of that heartbeat was becoming loud. Shrill. Unbearable.<BR/><BR/>And there was nothing beyond the unbearable. Only a never-ending stretch of endlessness. No more was to be the music of the river. Years later I learnt the scientific name of my guilt that took the river out of her life.<BR/><BR/>By then, my schizophrenia had already taken her life.<BR/><BR/>[This story is posted from my own Blog "<A HREF="http://absolute-joker.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Frenzy</A>". I called it "Fade" Thought it fits with the picture, Somehow. Anyways, I crashed on your blog today and I must say you're doing a great job. Kudos to you.

I do feel I have more time now to think of what I am writing - and in this case I had the basic story Friday, and all the weekend to mull it over. I wound up adding a lot of nuances, and changing it from the first draft. But this is all a two-sided sword. The more I think about what I write, the greater the chance that I mess it up. Before, if the stories were bad, at least they were spontaneous. Now they are less so.<BR/><BR/>Brisk: The new after-shave for men in a hurry.<BR/><BR/>Now you're free to explore the realms of abbreviations as literature.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1151926726239053862006-07-03T07:38:00.000-04:002006-07-03T07:38:00.000-04:00Oh, that's a challenge.
