You.......







Let me read it to you. Just click the green arrow.




You didn't ask. You just walked into my mind, an uninvited guest. 

Until then my life was ordered, regulated. I was content.

For reasons I will never understand I stood aside and let you change everything, things which until then I’d felt comfortable with. 

You rearranged my thoughts, my memories, my hopes, my ambitions. I was no longer my own person, you took over. I looked on as you invaded my very being.

Then as suddenly as you arrived, you walked back out leaving a trail of destruction in your wake.

Why oh why did I allow you to occupy my mind?

  3. A strong piece. Probably better for the character to be free.

    1. You must have had very mixed emotions at the time.

  5. Such tragedy is way too common. Thank you for sharing. I'm still on a gardening topic at http://darlamsands.blogspot.com/ for the letter Y. And I am number 1179 on the list today as it looks like lots of participants continue dropping off, unfortunately.

  6. When I read this, I thought of two things: Obsession over a person and someone who emotionally abuses you then leaves.
    Very strong, visual piece. As always!

  7. Like Heather, I'm seeing an obsession, on both sides.

    1. This is based personal experience and although it was somewhat one sided there was an element of what you felt.

  8. I feel like the protagonist knew on some level what was happening, and yet, they were powerless to stop it. Very strong writing, well done!
