The inhabitants of Egoland always lived in fear. They dreaded the pinpricks of reality that will deflate their ego filled heads. So they started taking extra care of their ego filled heads. They started wearing masks which were reality proof. Still wearers were wary of the deflateability of their egos. So they refused to step down from their ivory towers to avoid the risk of deflation. Soon they bloated up due to inactivity and filled their homes. They became trapped within their own mental frames. Now they long for that pinprick that will release them from their sad existence.
Looks like the fog just spared my window to the street. The street lights looked liking smokers in an alley. The cobble stones were wet from the drizzle. The street dogs were busy barking at something. A breeze just unsettled the garbage can's lid. My world hasn't changed much. Everyday I look for some sign of change. Nothing seems to change. I have grown bald. My eyesight has dimmed. My kids have grown. The window pane has gathered dust and dirt. The spiders have evolved. Some old buildings have given way to new ones. The neon signs have gone. Still nothing seem to have changed. Change they say has to come from within. But then, what can come out of an empty narrow dead end?
