scottishlassI wrote this for today's word prompt of NaNoWriMo.
Memory
She asked me to forget about her. She made me promise to forget about her, that I should live well when she is gone. But how can I do this when every day, every hour, every breath is still filled with memories of her?
When I walk through the palace halls, I can hear her voice in the distance.
When I come across our pagoda in the Royal Gardens, I can see her standing inside waiting for me.
How can I live well when I know that we are not only divided by distance but also by time and space as well?
I remember that she once asked me if I cannot go with her. I did not answer her although I wanted to answer her in the affirmative. I wanted to shout, yes, I want to go with you. I want to see your world, your Heavens again. But I remained silent. I knew the King needed me. The nation needed me. That the king counted on me to keep his enemies at bay.
What I didn't count on was the fact that I needed you more. That every memory of you makes me both miserable and happy at the same time.
Imja are you there? Can you – by some heavenly intervention – hear my words?
No, of course not. I'm just a memory to you, just as you are a memory to me. When you think of me, in your place, I will already be long gone. Just a memory in the annals of history. A memory inside your heart.

Date: 2012-10-30 09:24 am (UTC)It started out for US Americans only where they tried to write a whole novel with 50.000 words or more in just one month. More ppl participated in the following years and now anyone can participate. There are no prices just the enjoyment that you try and write something in a month and perhaps even create something that is publishable. You can write anything from different genre to original and fan fiction as well as scripts.
And of course you meet other ppl who write as well, some even published author or just hobby writers like us. It fun but also makes you see your own limitations (I participated three times and only the last time in 2005 I finished a story with more than 50.000 words LOL)
