Maidens and Madmen Upd 20 Pg30, 13/07 - Page 20

13. Compassion

The hands that now tend to his bleeding palm had recoiled when he had caught them to get her misstep stable. Her prattle which reverberated the air around them did nothing to bring down an infringing psyche; emotional anarchy that he so promptly complied had already started to retrograde.

Compassion hath no boundaries.

Amazing words.....have been waiting for u to update...

14. Nayantara I

The flicker of emotion that passed in her husband's eyes at the mention of other woman had pierced her to the point of despair.

"You are my cathexis", she howled in despair when his guilt ridden monologues escalated to that of being victimized instead of being one of the wrongdoers.

"And you, my parasite."

15. Nayanatara II

The phone call from the woman who she thought had been buried under layers of lies, deceit and hopelessness, had resurfaced with news that shattered her illusionary wellbeing. Her hands shook, mind calculated and heart quivered as she framed solutions.

Vindictive - was what everyone thought of her.

Orwellian - is what she thinks of herself.

Okay three updates. Cool. How good can you get. Just explain Orwellian. What does it mean?
Thanks for updating. I thought I had shoooed you away by not commenting.

Love

16. Pawn I

Blinded by a conception, deaf to the words of changing world and mute to the shivering frame of aging parents, he vows upon the blood to bring justice, to correct the wrong doings and rearrange the misplaced pawns of the societal board.

The pawn bestowed with power of Queen was still just a pawn.

17. Pawn II

Her faineant room resonated with her defiance, courage and her will to persevere. His form shook in anger as he saw his sister's rebelliousness screaming at him silently.

The thin veil of vinculum that the two siblings shared because of blood was severely sheared.

She wasn't his sister anymore.

She was his new target.

18. Status quo

The woman's words reduced had to static; cluttering noise in background of something scarily silent. The woman, who claimed to be her husband's real wife revealed the nature of overzealous man whose child she bore.

The woman called her fake and her marriage void.

Wasn't real and fake just a matter of perspective?

19. Stalemate

The fiery ball of righteousness and passionate anger was cold and aloof. The robotic movements of her hand and downcast eyes made her look vulnerable and utterly young. Her impassive brush off when he handed her the information she had badgered him incessantly about, a line of worry creased his forehead.

Something was wrong.
