Well actually, I’m doing a big favor for an old friend. I’ve been busy reading an unpublished book written by a friend of my mine. A proof reader…that’s my new job…=) Hope I won’t spoil any of this when it gets published…haha!
It’s was Saturday afternoon and I wasn’t supposed to be here…I graduated almost 7 years but I don’t even know why I am here…standing in front of an old tree where I graduated almost a decade ago . That tree will be ripped up in the next few days (“that’s what the foreman says") and so I started reading…
White Lies…that’s the book I was reading at that time. Here are the excerpts…
Dialogue from the core characters of the book:
Xai:
You’re trying to be someone you’re not…you’re trying to please everyone. You always try to play it right. You do what they tell you to or you just don’t know who you really are because you’ve got no past to compare it to.
A sudden overwhelming sadness washed over me…I gave what you asked for and I even actually took 5 steps ahead of you and reminded myself that there were far more important things than my unseemly request but you still turned away and headed the opposite direction but what I could remember was “that” look in your eyes…feeling certain that there was something left important…you’re just too coward to take the chances” -->This was an elaborate justification of Xai’s character in the book.
Another excerpt from one of the core character:
Bliss:
I closed my eyes as I said goodbye…I know I will lose a friend. White lies…this will be enough.
Then, come Sunday afternoon, the book is no longer unpublished...White Lies is finally out in the open.
I broke my right arm that night...Cheerio!
