The blurb said the story was about patricide. I chose the skin of the most depraved, Dmitri, to get into. But nothing happens, there is too much talk.
And then i can feel the dark creeping all around my room. It is about to rain. Of course, it is. The day before I had forgotten my umbrella at the cyber cafe and never got it back.
Outside, she yells and yells till I get used to her voice. It is a language I don't understand. "She is swearing at her husband," I think.
But then, Dmitri hasn't visited the book in pages and so my mind wanders.
Please rain. This smell of want is too much to bear.
The yelling continues. "Am sure her husband hits her," I think.
The phone-call.
He does not hit me. So is something wrong with me that I complain so much?
The voice at the other end of the line is dissolving in the rain, the yelling and Dmitri.
Uh.. no.
You are not listening.
"I am too many people at this moment. You are me. But I'd rather be Dmitri." Thank god, I can't hear myself thinking in the rain.

I dunno. It's very fluid but it's too complicated for me. I couldn't understand anything :( What? I can't be stupid sometimes?
But I loved the previous post. Honest.
I know. I cant write normal straight stuff. I begin thinking this is how i want it to be. But when i write it takes over all reasoning. the post was supposed to be about how wen we read a book, and are distracted, we feel like being in so many places at once. u know?
yes seena, we know. but u are supposed to mention brothers karmazov in there somewhere. u know, like a clue. that's the code that is difficult to crack. once we crack that, this is fantastic writing!!!
That makes sense. Yesterday in that process I discovered the whole thing of adding links to one's writing. so I added a link to dmitri. it is too much fun. I shall add links to most of everything from now on. at least people can be led to something more interesting from this!!
I hadn't come here for a while. wish i had met dmitri before. and i wish it rains...
