I logged off, crying. I couldn't bare the thought of losing you. Losing you was as if I was losing my very own self, yet, for your sake I took my leave. I was unwanted – a pest, a parasite that crawled through your daily life like an unmentionable disease. I was despicable and unimportant. Later that night, I scanned through the RuneScape forum and it was littered with popular stories of my own kind, blatantly flaming our ways – it broke my heart. What vile and spiteful texts they were! How hateful, how insulting! THIS was where they poisoned you against me! THIS was where my kind was stereotyped, exploited, and executed at the leisure of your pen –! We were powerless and we bore your insults, mutely. For what cause was this hatred, so uncalled for? Surely, you regarded us as sub-humans. You thought we were six years olds, single-minded and unintelligent. True, you were right, we had no long, pretty, pretentious words to sugar up and paint our faces to hide the devil underneath.

I was only human … a human without the right to live.

You were all I had left in the world, you know, and I couldn’t ask for more. It was all my fault and I wished I had never been born. What was life, when the very fruit it bore was sour with contempt? What was life, when its very purpose was to be denied and excluded? What was life, when each very breath that I took was but to multiply the curses on my head?

I took the easy way out – pills. Perhaps I’ll find a friend in the next life, and perhaps one day I’ll even become more like you: more acceptable, more pleasing to the eyes. Perhaps, eventually, I will find someone, someone who cared, someone who enjoys my company – someone who will love me for who I am. Think of the possibility…

I don’t care how long that’ll take me, be it ten lives or fifty, but a hundred is too long though.

Good night.

P.S. …I forgive you.

Notes on The Life of a Noob

So I went on my cynical side and basically say all Noob stories are a violation of human dignity. This is of course a very different Noob story in the sense that it looks at the world from the eyes of a Noob wanting to be inside but is found shut out.

He found that there are stories of himself on Stories Forum and people are laughing at him. Rather horrible, I’d thought.

The style of this is influenced by Hamlet (thus the Shakespearean language which I find fitting for a Noob to want to come across) and the mood very much by Ronda’s ‘Favors*. I think it’s very much the latter that has inspired me to write more because I liked the story so much I printed it all off and started analysing it.

This short story shows a definite move towards the literary approach to writing, cementing the steps I had taken in that direction in the last three works. Syntaxes will become rich and sentences will have lots of commas – even unneeded ones. This in the end will be costly to undo since this style has the major weakness for fast-paced actions, and the results to which we can see over the coming weeks when I try to marry the two together.

~~I Am Content~~

(January 2009)


Life is perfect and there is none to worry about.
Life is perfect and I have nothing to doubt.
Flawless, joyous, and nothing sad –
Life is perfect but there is no way out.

Essays, coursework and practice – perfectly manageable.
Concerts and Saturday classes crept perfectly into my timetable.
Extra events, commitments and deadlines –
Life is perfect for the strong and able.


~~End~~

Notes on I Am Content

Imagine my form teacher’s surprise when he saw this ‘poem’ when I was supposed to be reflecting on my academic progress of the last term. In response I wrote this, and he was upset.

Since the Head teacher will read all of these slips he advised me to change it and I refused. Why must everyone know that I am getting on just fine? Do they not want to hear from me otherwise? So people will be happy when I’m cruising through life and when I’m struggling they don’t want to know?

I was making a point with this poem and in the end I changed it and wrote something happier under the pressure of many teachers. I’ll write about how I’m enjoying school, enjoying everyday life…

It becomes increasingly clear to me that real life sucks.
