Hi Aish.

He is a guy who has to fight the war. In this context it does not matter if he is the king or not. He is a man who has to fight against the enemy and during that time he retrospects.

He does not kill to save himself. He kills in the name of a king. Here king refers to an idea, a man, or anything that is worth fighting for; even country.

Yeah, ending is totally lame, but I wanted him to die in the end. :-)

Hey Sookie,

This is one subject which has caught my interest ever since I had started learning about it in history. And often, when I thought bout the reason behind all wars, the same thing that you have said in the form of this story, was the obvious answer.

Pride, greed, superiority...so many things seem to be the cause of a war. Whatever might be the actual cause, it still is irrational, because, just because of the intention of one man or one group, the lives of so many people get entangled and eventually it just boils down into another disaster.

Civilisation has failed to enlighten man on this aspect. The intensity of the war increases as a country gets more and more developed.

Good story! I liked the way you emphasize "in the name of the king" indicating the helplessness of the fighter. I don't feel pity or sorrow for the soldier. I am angry at the state to which the man has been reduced. He has spent all his life fighting just for his king, even at the cost of his own will and his life.

Anu (loooong comment for a short story!! :-D)




Geez...trust a science student to write sociology essay. I give up madam. Answers offline :-)

Thanks very much for your comment!

very well written.. a very nice owrk.. somewhere i was also questiongin and gogin throguh the story and knew the ned is just gogin to make me feel more sad with the reality where why people kill others?? wars?? what will humanity and how will humanity gain..i always questioned but yes ego , powere and omination.. so true the last line mentoioned ounting the dead bodies yet i feel helpless the world is divided and evryone wants to feel secure while some want to control ..

nicely penned and beautifully the message and pain came across..tc

Bhoomi

I think I can accept your answer more than anything I have thought of; control. Interesting now that you mention it for which I am thankful :-)

You always have a different idea which is very refreshing.

well, atleast she died knowing tha fact that she was dying, having done something that she wanted to b4 dying, and in a peaceful environment.
Poor elevator guy..
But ya, it's beautifully and precisely written.

Yeah. I actually wrote a happy ending before. Then decided against it. :D.
Requiem:
"Thoughts of a cop..." I didn't realli get how he meets his death, but anyway it doesn't matter much i think.
But... death gotta be darkness?

Darkness can be anything. Losing consciousness, coma or even death. I think its death.
Untouchable:
uhm... how sensitive he is. He must be suffering a lot. Sometimes, writting may come as an escape too.. well, ppl can write for many reasons.

Yes. There are many reasons for writing. Just ask people on this forum :D But there is something really different about these sensitive ones. Don't you think so?
Bete Noir:
that's a name? coz it sounds cool.. well, actually it reminds me of an odd extravagant lady, character of a story which i read time ago, in our lecture book... It had some resemblances, anyway u wudn't know what im talking about.. 😳😆 so forget it
i don't know where this habit comes from that instead of erasing the words while typing i just leave it, coz if u were talking wid someone, u wudn't be able of erasing ur said words.
About this piece, nice description.. and the part of missing her baby.. touching, sometimes we forget that every person is human.., (idk how to explain that more correctly), and well, there always is a story behind.

:-) Its an odd description, but its new! Its fine to leave your words just the way they are.

Leap of faith:
wow! what a New Year great token. 👏 U know, this time it's got something different, i mean, yes, it ended wid a death, but it was, somehow less dark, atleast to me.
Overall i liked a lot the talking old and wise willow.. it's so full of knowledge.
About reality.. somehow i feel that everything is real, and nothing is real.., everything and nothing have got the same meaning anyway..well, this universe is complicated and simple at the same time.., Faith is related to all this too...
Well... i'm happy that she's going wid her light eyes and dark hair man.

Hmm...of course I had to write something for new years. The whole tone of the story was saddening was it not?
Woah... i did it! i achieved to follow now the normal process of story-comment 😆😃 But that mite be coz u aren't updating daily lately..., as u used to do when starting this thread. are u too busy?
Well, just enjoy doing whatever u have to. 😊 cYa

No, I was not busy and that is the problem. When I am drowned in work, I write. When I am stressed, I write. When I am annoyed and frustrated with work, I write. That's why my friends on this forum are happy that I am back to work starting today :D


p.d.: sorry, u'll have to re-read some of ur creations again..
11/01: See no evil, comment:
well i loved that one. 😊 coz it's mainly about checking the purpose of life, and well, while doing that, it's not so sense-filled as it always seemed to be.
And well this character, he's realli good-hearted, if i didn't misunderstand. Only few warrior's souls r that noble to pray for the dead ones in a battle, no matter if they were "enemies".
uhm.. enemies, that's another thing mentioned on here, only we make our enemies, if u look it calmly, it has no logic. They are not born, they are just made...🥱
Great one, thanks for sharing =)
and btw, congrats on making one year on I-F!
Thanks :-) Yeah. I had to re-read all the stories to understand your comments better :D But no matter!

Getting closer to this post

will be back in a day :)

Forced to Edit/Update/write something:😲

Turns out I had read this before, just forgot to comment. I think I know why now after reading this again. I don't feel anything for either one, neither nor sad for either. Everyone has a choice, they made theirs and are living a consequence. I am too confused to make sense of anythng more.

@ The Good Wives Club: I just read it today, i know, been pretty long and I dont know why I dreaded it so much :D perhaps my intuition told me about the morbid stuff it would hold, not that any of your posts in this thread have been delightedly cheerful ;) but this was....for some reason, I saw a guy in place of the girl doing the narration...and that suited my pattern of thought better than a girl...dont know why! :D screwed in the head, like you said the other day...it was a good read..sometimes, just not crediting the fact that we know or notice something so visibly staring us in the face can be highly comforting, sometimes, not. Im getting back to the other ones too :D
