Deja Vu or Veja Du?

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Have I really been here before?

Is it a scene from the last five novels I binge-read? I recall wanting to be there, and rewriting the plot in my style. The place has so much potential – in the mind, on earth or under water.

Shadows creep in on me, telling me a very old story I knew nothing about. And then it feels like I’ve lived through it – eons ago.

The keyboard shapeshifts to a moving ballpoint pen, then fountain pen and now a quill dipped in inks of yore.

  11. “Is it a scene from the last five novels I binge-read?” Made me laugh! But the tone changes into one of deja-vu as we wait for the mystery to unfold from your wonderful imagination, Reena.

  13. Reena, recently I dreamed that a tree with a big foot was pacing back and forth in an aquarium. Who is to say at one point trees didn’t walk on land? I enjoyed where your writing took me.
