pain...

The following post is being hosted, sadly free of cost, for a friend who wants responses but is too lazy to start a blog.
Note: Anybody else struck with the same idea - further hosting will be charged to your credit card.

***********

when the pain sears through her insides. splitting every nerve in clear half. torn to shreds. can we hope to heal? maybe.

theres destruction, debris all over the place. the lasting feeling is the pain. poisonous pain. acrid sulphurous fumes. choke her everytime she thinks. it burns through and that is all one can feel.

she died atleast 10 times since morning. walking down the road, after class. the blue skies and sparkling sun of autumn laughed cruelly.

she was washing the apparatus. the experiment was over. she closed her eyes mometarily... her head swirled. her heart stopped beating. she died for a second. the pain killed her. she was nudged back to life by the cold water that was overflowing the basin. her hunger had died. everything was in place. oh yes! nothing had fallen out of place. she walked straight back from lab to her room. infact she ran. she wanted to hide. to confront her pain and wallow in it.

oh! did he? she closed her eyes, and saw them both. together. lost. the pain seared through her insides. each time she closed her eyes. each time she saw them together. did they? she wondered... ... and then she stopped breathing. the blood stopped flowing through her veins.

reason asks her to be more reasonable. but the pain killed it. and theres nothing left. the flood gates of pain open to inundate her.

    And some time, something will kill the pain itself. That's the basic property of life!

    Nicely written!
