The right place was also the wrong place. This yin/yang theory seemed valid, at least while Peter was aware of the fact that he walked a fine line of certainties and hesitations in a world of constant change. He would cross town to make sure his theory was right, lingering in shabby neighborhoods, only to realize that all the wrong places could never be the right places. He wanted to give up, but always gave in. That line before him became a harsh reminder that what was once perfect was really nothing more than a lie in shades of white.
This story is fascinating! and a wonderful piece of existential angst!! :D Great writing!
ReplyDeleteTY, Cybele! The more we write, the more aware we become of each detail we type down. This time I wanted to "play" with the words "line/lie". If you go through the text and change one of those words by the other, the text works as well as before!
Deleteclever girl!!!!
DeletePS and I love the title!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great title, isn't it? :D I cannot take credit for it though! It was the prompt suggested by Laurence Simon (Crap Mariner in SL), the organizer of the 100 Word Challenge and Podcast. I'm not sure if was the one who came up with that prompt or if it was one of the participants' suggestion. Each week, we send in a suggestion or... three, and Laurence picks from those. :)
