She got stuck in my throat. After a couple of years of tentative occupancy in my heart, Inevitable finally decided to up and leave last week. She slammed heart’s door hard and took the straight and really narrow route out – through the Adam’s apple.
She got stuck in the gale of emotions swirling there. Inevitable has always had issues keeping time. So, in character, she made a late exit. A few minutes earlier and she would have made it without getting stuck.
Now Adam’s apple is a small place. So, with Inevitable’s massive baggage it was quite naturally a tight fit. With the gale catching more and more momentum, I choked.
Each and every bit of baggage drumming its weighty mass in the throat. In code, awakening certain neurons, drumming up a weird chant, rousing ghouls that were once real feelings.
And then the bell rang. The gale stopped. Inevitable left. Empty heart, I trudged the broken road to a cab stand.
I met Inevitable again today… she had her aunt Sullen with her and Uncle confused. In a weird way I made peace with Inevitable. No more storms. The rickety door in the heart can expect softer handling. Hopefully. Maybe. Someday.

strong emotions expressed relatively subtly...
Making Peace with Inevitable is the best way out...fight, struggle, go against the flow and you will choke. Surely this will soften, the hurt will melt..
Life... Peace Shall reign...
Peace need not 'reign' in/on The Parish. However this hamlet will surely have Peace rain on Parish- a nurturing rain of 'Faith', Love, 'Life' and 'Peace'...
Bravo! well Sorry the Parish ... this one is more for 'Life'. What u've expressed is perhaps on the lines of 'inevitably making peace with inevitable may not be THE INEVITABLE but for sure is the best way!' However what compells me to comment is more on what possiblity the 'Hamlet' just created! Way to go guys!
