One from the annals..

In a little corner of the room, she lay. Dark, it was.. like the stream moving along her arm. Cold, she lay hugging her knees close to her chest. Tears still moist against her cheeks. Heart still pounding slowly, almost inquiring for continuance. “ Close your eyes, it will go away.” She kept whispering to herself. No one was listening.

The door opened slowly, bringing in piercing streaks of light that pricked into her eyes, sharper than the razor was against her wrists. The murky silhouette at the entrance waved towards her, beckoning her out. She cuddled in closer, head burying in her lap, shutting her eyes forcefully. The door closed. Darkness was reclaimed. The faintness lulled her to sleep.

The night lasted for months.

Then one day, the curtains fell to floor. The room lay bare in front of the mighty Helios. He marched in and like a drunken pig in whorehouse, he ravaged the naked walls. Every inch of the darkness was now printed with violent marks of luminosity. The little girl in the corner watched in revulsion, as her home was torn down by the powerful lord of luster. Her darkness was gone. Her home, lost.

erm...i really know not what to say. don't think a "cheer up" would make matters better. however, there seems nothing else to say.

i just hope that there will be a softer, smoother, perhaps more loving light...

s!: changes are impending motions. for good/bad is relative. :)

mel, hoh: oww.. you cared!

anonymous: powerful? yes, ask the sith!

raven: historian you. no wonder you advocate parineeta so vehemently. no school like the old school, i guess.

penny lane: not as much as the greek gods :p

liquid sunshine: looong time! wassaaap! could try mass communications too,i guess.. when you are lost, every way is the right way, i guess...

well, the fact that change occurs is good, it displaces the inertia.. the end effect of the change might be good/bad though, i agree.
