Just Another Day

It was black as the pits of hell. Blacker than blackness. Blacker than the absoluteness of a black hole. Not the distantest ray of illumination touched here. Nothing. But it was bulging. Too heavy for the emptiness of the dark.

Her fingers led her blindly against the expansive walls wending their way through the cramped storage. Limbs, sockets, entrails wrapped carelessly in smooth notes, once crisp and green. Sealed with cold unyielding metal. She dropped down on her knees, on warm, slightly wet and unformly lumps. Her nails scraped against damp, limp paper, tearing apart the pieces, feeling through the contents, one by one, carefully, as if waiting for a revelation. The package gave away. A gift from hell. The seal fell in a dull 'thuck' and millions of slimy balls ambled down listlessly. She reached out a gingery finger and touched one. The ball spun, dispelling the darkness for terrifying light.

The silence split. A numb dread crept under the thin peel of her skin like a parasite. The stench of death choked her throat, burning her insides. Glutinous red. Everywhere. Pools. Puddles. Oceans. Limbs scattered like dry leaves from a dead tree. Siren- screams; toneless.Insignificant centipedes thrashing futilely against fate. Against fate scribed by humans in blood. Where doom is the only word.

Wide eyes. Fear. Surprise. Who knows. Too disfigured to make out. Lip hung loose. Blue. A one-fingered tiny hand stretched out in call.

She staggered. Her hand crept towards it. No movement. "Come", she whispered hoarsely, "Come to Ma". The finger curled round hers.

"Shock", said the doctor tonelessly. And they carried her away.

I don't know why, but I felt as if my breath was being sucked out of me while I read this! The description did its work very well...

I think a last thought of something is also included in a shock or anything that results in unconsciousness...I thought that hand could not be the doctor's if this was thought by her mind...but it had to represent a vision of some reality snapped in random life... :)

Very good work... :)

October 18, 2008 11:42 PM  

Aww you scared me ;)

Yikes. That was, uh, sinister.

But I still don't get it. Is this the description of a person who is about to get shock therapy or someone who's going through it?

*scratches head*


P.S. You ate your limit again!

She is in shock or is she being given shock therapy or death penalty be shock?

Mujhey kuchh nahin samjha!

In the beginning I thought it was the script for the initial part of movie Black, with you repeating Black Black everywhere, and 'she' feeling everything with her fingers.

Then I got totally lost with the 'gift from hell' and slimy balls and whatnot.

Then with all the bloody gory stuff of next para, I wondered if 'she' is mad, or is being tortured? Battered too, going by the blue lip.

//Against fate scribed by humans in blood. Where doom is the only word.

death sentence or what? death by shock at the end of torture? Whose hand is it with the finger then? Who is ma?

Or is it some nurse (Ma) taking the deranged tortured soul (who has also self inflicted wounds)for shock therapy?

Again "And they carried her away." seems to have the finality of death, a notion further strenghthened by the post label.


So what is it that you are actually describing? I am so damn confused!!!

And about the limit,

Maybe you could change your settings such that images are not downloaded be default, if the limit is reached because of excessive browsing.

Otherwise you could check various softwares and antivirus on your machine if they always keep autoupgrading themselves from the net. Then you could disable auto upgrades for a few.

BTW how much is this 'limit' that you keep finishing off :)?
Maybe you could opt for a greater limit?
