Chapter 13

Every since he came into my life, I have struggled and cried and tried to run away. I have watched my life come apart is confusion and turmoil. I have seen the world I thought familiar fragment into chaos. An elephant? In my apartment? Where did it come from? Where did it go? Why is it bronze? Who really cares? Not I. No more. A bronze elephant in my livingroom is the least of my worries.

As if that chaos wasn’t enough try sorting out the sudden appearance of a bar straight from the old west held up by a gun-toting mad cat hunting a doubly mad mouse that ate Garfield’s cousin for snack. I’m outa there hot on the heels of the closest dude and I land with a roll just in time for the dude to open some exotic box. Why would he open someone else’s box? Of course, I know the answer to that question as soon as I ask it. He’s here same as me, he’s just been here a moment longer and he’s too curious for his own good, and for mine.

That box opens and he is all around us again. Or rather, he’s all around me - who knows where curious dude went - I sure don’t. That box wasn’t big enough for this, this vastness that was nothing, this darkness that was filled with emptiness? Or was it? Does emptiness take up space? Or does space fill volume?

I’m pissed now. Where is my life now? How dare he intrude in my world? I’ll get even. I’ll get my revenge. All I have to do is fill the emptiness, fill the page. I reach out and there is magic. I reach in another direction and there is a space ship. And in another direction is a herd of centaurs. Yes, I can do this - fill the page with worlds and ideas, subterranean and extra terrestrial, ancient and far future. And then I reach out again and you are there. Join me and help me fill the void.

Anna, I love this! "Does emptiness take up space?" I wonder. I think it might. That's a beautiful question. Gonna add yours and the other new chapters ASAP.

I've never heard of this sort of collegial blogging, Anna. What a hoot.

Anna L. Walls said...

It's really quite fun, Jacqui, you should jump in and give it a try.

Papercut Doll said...

It is fun, isn't it and I really enjoyed this. There's so much energy here - it just radiates from the page.

Anna...I like the way you gave the impression you " wrote" your way out...that was truly original. I could feel the chaos and confusion in this post..truly a side affect of the " Void"...well done...poor Garfield's cousin...I hope that mad mouse is not lurking around for the rest of us!
