I don't know what to make of this one yet. . Each one perceives the other to be mad....but everyone is biased in their point of views..No one seems to know why she is what she is...or cares to...she is clearly not in the frame of mind to help herself...the world is full of such tales...the society creates its own outcasts..this reminds me of this mad woman..and i call her mad because her antics flashed before my eyes when i read your words...we only see the madness but don't know the cause...The last line opens up an interesting point - Insanity prevails humanity. ..i chose to interpret it as - insanity of the people defeats their humanity... She is the object of ridicule..In the end I feel sorry for her...fallen angel!

HI Sookie,
Somehow this remaind for me the most sad story of urs i read which made me feel sad ..not that it was so engrossign or detailign that made me feel it.. but surely the helpless state of makign soemone love and live life like anyone else deserves with a happy heart and mind. I guess somewhere this fear of been alone and wanting to be insane sometimes is the result of the unwillingness to handle thigns which we face with people whom we love around... i guess drinking behaviour allefforts to erase things we couldnt handle makes us go insane... the story was sad and for sure the society is least intersted ever in modern times to care a second thought for people like them walking fallign ont he streets..people look at them curiously , laugh and feel good about themselves as they r better off...
keep up ur work Sookie,

hey welcome to the writers corner.. i really really love your story.. its really dark and well written.. and beautiful 😳 yeah dark and mysterious.. i like that 😆 i like your style of writing too.. and using that font and cursive and everything.. hehe. i've only read the 2nd chpter so i'll just keep commenting in this post.. from what i've read so far this seems like a pretty awesome story. no wonder so many people like it 😃 keep it up 😃

edit** okay.. i've realized that your updates aren't the continuing ur original story.. they're different aren't they? are they just scenes or thoughts that you have and you write them down like this? like you turn in into a .. whole little story thing.. anyway i really like it. and i like it better this way than continuing from the first one. and they always end in some kind of death thing 😆 is that why its called death talkies..? a whole bunch of small short stories all involving some kind of misery or death? you're writing makes you seem a lot older than you probably are.. you're vocabulary and the way you look at life.. you just seem like this mysterious person with a bunch of ideas and different outlooks on life and the way things are.. and the way you express that into words is really interesting. its really different than anything i've ever seen here before.. you're writing is pretty awesome (im sure u already know that though lol) and i have to say the way you write makes me want to get to know you a little more as a frind.. sorry for rambling like that 😆 you do a great job.. keep it up please 😃👏 you really inspire me to do a better job as a writer.. i have a lot of ideas and things but its hard for me to express that clearly.. anyway. looking forward to your response 😊



Hi Nishi,

Thank you! I have just this one thread in Writer's corner and a bunch of them in FF section.

This thread is called Death Talkies because there is a theme associated with it - morbidity, lost hope, deep depression and a perpetual tragic ending. The credit for the title goes to NJ.
I think my writing does reflect my age :-) For the record, am no teenager :D

Anyway, thank you very much for appreciating my writing. Its fun to write what I write and every subject is like an experiment for something or the other. Mysterious? Maybe a little on the forum as I am a very private person when it comes to that. And yes, my outlook in life does reflect on my writing.

Thank you very much for your comments and appreciation Nishi.

Insanity Prevails Humanity...that's probably my favourite line....

it was definitely clear that everyone misunderstood her....they perceive what the wish and see what the wish, which covers a blanket over the truth....

she never fell for it....she controls her own life but yet has not fully come to accept that others can't accept it.

she doesn't know what she is, it probably doesn't matter now because the one thing that did matter - her baby, is no longer with her....

very beautifully written....



Hey Mridhula,

That is my favorite line too! I am not sure if everyone misunderstood her or she misrepresented herself. Can we as humans have the tact to make that difference?
I think not.

The entire human race reacts based on perception. If people perceive that woman as mad, then the woman perceives them as mad or something else entirely. Isn't the madness of people associated with their social standing in the society? A man might be called passionate because he has a significant role to play in the society and the same characteristic may be turned obsessive or a lunatic.
I feel sorry for that too and this is inspired by a real life incident. And I have seen this woman in her moment of clarity and the words that she told me had made me think.

Thank you very much for your comments Aish.

thank you for the comment Bhoomi... I guess you summed up the story pretty well. Being alone for a very long time might drive people insanity or their grief. Maybe either or both. Isn't it? People like her live in this society and they are as much part of it as you and I.

so it was a guy, i was finding it hard while commenting coz i didnt kno the writer's gender, lol.

One thing can have millions of meanings, coz perspectives of different people arent the same. 😊
