3WT in 55

After his girlfriend had left him, Ivan lived in some kind of accide. He would only get up for work and eat only to keep his body functioning. The books he used to enjoy gathered dust and his cromack and hiking boots lay forgotten. He just sat there, contemplating the fissiparous nature of human relationships.

Oh relationships can be crappy to think about. But alas, as you know I think all heals and things happen for the best if you ask me. But who the hell am I to say that :)

Poor Ivan. Sometimes you can't help but wallow in your own misery.

Every day brings out the sun. You just need to go out and look.
If its not yours, its not yours.

Wow, that's short and well sad. But a great use of the words.

thom - well, i'm past this stage although it happened more in my mind than in real life. and no matter what you say, some wounds never heal... they just scar over and continue hurting. the point is in accepting the pain and learning to live with it

nessa - i know the feeling all too well... the pain is still sharp and unrelenting but i'm tired of wallowing in my own misery :)

a lady's life - are you telling this to me or my character? ;)
(well, it is true that i've been through a similar experience just recently)
every day the sun rises, that much is true. but what to look for when the clouds keep covering it for several months (and although this can be used as a metaphor, it's a very real and frustrating fact of our winters) and you have no means to rise above the clouds...

OJM - thank you. being short while still telling a story is a challenge but i like it :)

Juliana - -you are right, some wounds never heal and we live with oozing scars. If we're lucky, our creativity helps us vent and lets some of the pressure off. If it didn't we would probably all give in to accide until our fissiparous demise.

quilly - be it creativity or something else, i think what's important is to accept and embrace the pain and get on with life...

shakira - i appreciate that, thank you. many people have gone through a heartbreaking experience so it's normal it would resonate to some extent...
