Mnemosyne
The clock stopped clinking, and there is a slowdown in time. I can feel a dreadful breeze, yet I could not locate the source of wind. Skeletal and weathered buildings shroud in the sandstorm. The ground is made of blood, bile and rotten meat with people lying motionlessly. In my head, there is an eerie silence as the fragments of the past and the memories of the forgotten sinners resonate. With their guns and their bombs, they are fighting. Children are taken away slowly. Some hang low from the tower. Some rot on the ground. It is the same requiem for the oppressed children since 1999. Everybody die! Why are you doing this? Get them out! Some said violence causes silence. In this peculiar silence, only a rueful agony is found: you could have been my friend. Inside our head, there is an untold dream shattering people’s dream.
