Patrick Posted June 8, 2024 Report Posted June 8, 2024 "Have you ever realised that when a raindrop hits the ground and dissolves in a puddle it loses everything that made it unique? It just becomes a small part of a large ensemble. No more weaving between currents of air, no more unique shape, no more freezing into lovely six-sided shapes if ever the ambient temperature drops below freezing". Â She sighed, the three sentence monologue taking a lot more from her than she had expected. Â "The unique droplet meets its comrades-" she coughed, a slow, painful cough. Â "No...comrade is-" *cough* "-not the-" *cough* "-right-" *cough* *cough* *cough* "-WORD!" Â A few more hacking wheezes brought the sequence to an end and with it a few blessed moments of calm. Â "Where was...ah yes. Dissolving...the image of the death of a raindrop." A smile slowly spread among the wrinkles on her aged face. Â "Yes...dissolv-" *cough" Â "Losing that sense of-" *cough* "-self" Â "You have your stupid metaphor, the last drop...HA!...of wisdom you were expecting of me. Now...all of you leave...LEAVE! LEAAAAAAAAA-!" *cough*... *COUGH* Â "just go..." Â "please...let me go..." Â *cough* Quote
