Nothing

The jar fell off the rack and shattered. There goes my last hope to regain sanity, thought Shef. It contained all his memories. His childhood, his love, his family, his friends... everything was slowly escaping from the jar in to thin air. He tried breathing in a few, but it didn't seem to work. The jar was his only solace during his madness. He used to extract memory after memory from his ravaged mind and store it in that jar. Now they are all gone. He screamed for help. But his padded cell stifled his screams. Outside he could hear people going about their life as usual. He kicked the walls, hoping they will come apart. He tried piecing the jar together. To his dismay, even the shattered glass pieces started melting away like ice on a hot summer day. He tried to get the nurse's attention by banging his head on the iron bars of his cell. She looked away as if he was not there. Just like the jar that shattered a few minutes back.

Ed woke with a start from his reverie. There must be something wrong, he thought. My room has shrunk, there are metal bars everywhere. It looks like a cell. I can see my cousins in another cell. They are all playing with something. What's this lump on my hand? What...

Stainsby Girl

Now it struck me. It was her MSN id and she loved Chris Rhea. But then when I saw it first, it somehow missed my mind. Now its too late. Unlike the Stainsby Girls Chris Rhea was singing about, someone broke her heart and she ended her life. For those who haven't heard the song, check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXdRzQLpt_g . See the lyrics below.    Stainsby Girls - Chris Rhea Some girls used to kiss and run Never knew what they had done Some girls always wasted time Keep you hanging on the line Some loved horses and always stayed at home But the Stainsby girls loved the Rolling Stones Now some had games that you had to play Making rules along the way Strange attractions newly found Pride and passion kicked around Some girls stole your heart Like most girls do But a Stainsby girls could break it in two And I fell in love, I fell in love I fell in love with a Stainsby girl Deepest water Stainsby blue Running straight, running true Names and faces...
