I don’t want to write about you.

You see, I’ve got this idea that if I do it, you’d fade away just like the others did. Something would click in your head, and you’d no longer be interested in me.

I don’t want to write about you.

Or the first time I saw you. Ray, the dehydrating beer, your divorced parents, the note in your wallet, your old school, my just injured toe, the way you couldn’t explain why we have never met before.

I don’t want to write about you.

I don’t want to destroy something that hasn’t even started. Imagine ourselves in daily situations, burn them out, but I can’t help it. They keep me up at night, and I get mad at myself in the mornings because I can hardly get out of bed.

I don’t want to write about you.

You’d forget about me. If I’m lucky you’d think I’m shallow and mean, or else you wouldn’t think about me at all. You’d ignore me on parties, and you’d disconnect from Facebook everytime I go online.

But most of all I don’t want to write about you because I’m afraid of putting into words my idea of someone you may not be, something we may not become, and, in years from now, I won’t want to read about you.

“It hurts,” The girl sobbed, grasping at her chest. She wanted to rip it open, tear it all out and out and out. But her fingers stumbled upon frozen ribs and nothing would budge. And she screamed and cried. 

“It will thaw someday,” The woman promised her. “It will thaw and you will heal. It will thaw and the hurt will go and fly and leap away and away from you. It will stop. But now it hurts. And that is okay. It will thaw. It will thaw. It will thaw.”

She cried for a bit longer and took a deep breath. Then she looked up at the sun with a watery smile. She told the sun another morning would come and she’d try again tomorrow. The sun heard her hopeful tone and smiled back at the girl who smiled through her tears.

She cried and cried and cried. She screamed for help. The water was too deep and the current too swift. And the branch she was holding snapped. She screamed for help once more and then she was gone. Head under water, not coming up again. The river won the fight.

She asked the fairy how she could fly so lightly. The fairy said all it required was to believe you could. So the girl practised in believing. She tried and tried but still she could not fly. So she asked the fairy why it didn’t work. The fairy answered, “Why dear, but you are flying through life”. That’s when the girl noticed how her grown self-confidence pushed her feet in the right direction. And how much lighter she felt than before. And so indeed, she was flying through life, albeit not how she had expected, though perhaps even more magically still. And she flew and flew and flew and never fell again.

throw me off a cliff
diving flying on the wind
sink me in the deep
water drowning me
claiming me
as another shell
ready to become dust
again

“Because I love you (you see, I do love you, you dimwit, my love engulfs you the way the sea loves a tiny pebble on its bed—and may I be the pebble with you, heaven permitting) I love the whole world and that includes your left shoulder—no, the right one was first and so I’ll kiss it whenever I want to (and whenever you’re kind enough to pull down your blouse a little)”

— Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

What Is a Cliffhanger?

• is a plot device in which a component of a story ends unresolved, usually in a suspenseful or shocking way, in order to compel audiences to turn the page or return to the story in the next installment
• usually fall into two categories:

1. The main character comes face-to-face with a dangerous or possibly life-threatening situation.
