So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I am reading "The Hunger Games". It is riveting, just as my sister had advertized. Present tense. Short, snappy sentences. I had intended to read a few pages before dinner. It is now nearing 10 pm. I hear a sudden series of sharp knocks that catapult me into awareness. Back from that Other World in my book, there is now a futon, an apartment. Hunger from skipping dinner. Thirst. Strange, persistent knocks. Ideas fill my head. Someone hanging a frame? My roommate, returned from her trip but unable to find her keys? This happy picture is discounted immediately. The knocks are not friendly, inquiring, or even insistent. They are angry and irregular and close by. I ease onto my feet. There is an open window next to the stairwell that leads to the door. I move at an angle to remain unseen from the window. At the base of the house is a shadowed figure. It makes short violent strokes in the darkness. A light snaps on. It is the boy next door, whom I've never met. He has a rug draped across the railing of the porch. He is beating it with a thick wooden stick. Dust flies everywhere, illuminated by the porchlight. I step back from the window. The room feels yellow and quiet and empty. I glance down the long dark corridor towards my bedroom. Nothing awaits me there but my nightmares. Maybe reading this book wasn't such a great idea after all. 8 Comments. i love you. and your writing style. i think it's nice. real nice. it reminds me of another. his name was hemingway. he wrote concise sentences. i thought he sucked. until i finished a few short stories. each short story would have a well written, great and completely unexpected » undisputed on 2010-06-08 01:26:58 What is the book about? » Nuttz on 2010-06-08 05:20:05 Yeah! I am glad that you thought the book was interesting! Your post encouraged Chris to FINALLY rent it from the library. I hope it didn't give you too many nightmares! I didn't have any bad dreams-- but was very glad that I wasn't going camping in the near future... » Rachel (98.245.159.47) on 2010-06-08 11:17:41 Rug beating seems really odd to me for some reason. » randomjunk on 2010-06-08 03:55:55 RYN thank u for the note... i will get through it... just i need time to.. but thank u so much for showing care... » jolenesiah on 2010-06-09 01:27:38 is this...unconscious emulation? bc i do that, too. *grin* and i love it. it is strangely weird yet strangely exciting. it makes me giddy. i need to do short. again. i do like that style. i can't right now. =P no matter how i try. » Silver-dot- on 2010-06-09 11:18:36 That book is on my "to read" list. Usually it takes me a day or two to get my mind to the real world after a while of submerged reading. » invisible on 2010-06-10 02:01:05 I thought I was reading an excerpt from the book for the second! Nice writing. » Illicit on 2010-06-12 07:11:40
