QUOTE (My bit) | "Where is it?" he called out in the darkened room.
"Where did I put it?" he wondered.
"Where did it go?" he pondered.
He pondered for a very long time on this. A lifetime, in fact. He spent many hours a day just thinking where he had put it. If he'd ever find it. If he even had it in the first place.
It had been years since he saw it last. But the memories became blurred as they faded into time. He was not sure what he was looking for and he didn't even know whether he'd seen it in the first place before. The memory just faded.
But now he felt he could remember it again. After all this time, it had awoken in his mind, and now it seemed it was coming back. Parts reformed in his mind. He was unsure still of whether he had seen it before, but at least now he knew where to look. At least now he knew where he was going. At least now he had a fighting chance.
He had found what he was looking for. It had taken him a few months longer than he hoped, but he found it. It was there all the time, right under his nose. He had seen where he put it.
He vowed to mislay it again. He knew that if it left him again there was a chance he might never have found it again. He knew that if it ever walked away from him, he'd never see again. And that would hurt.
He had found what he wanted. He found what was lost. He found love. |
After this, I must say I did it in half the time. I felt I could only write on this subject for a shorter time than expected. I don't like losing things, and so don't wish to dwell on it too long. Sorry.
However, other people should write for 15mins. That's the deal, remember?
