I’m talking to you. In a moment, I’m not…. You are not there. I see you being transformed into a familiar, but horrific being – eyes bulging out, a disconnected expression, hands moving aimlessly in the air, clenched teeth and a desire to kill. I survive the night, live in hope of a better future, … Continue reading Living with Insanity
The security checks are stringent, yet I put up with it to reach that building. I don’t know a soul there, but the windows it opens to other worlds are refreshing. Bodies become insignificant, as the vastness of the universe engulfs. I hope now to transgress my smallness someday.

Yes. It is a race. Yes. I want to fly. On feet or wheels, getting pushed or jostled, being taken for a ride … Yes. I have to fly. There is no alternative. Life leaves me not many options. I will step on someone’s toes. I’ll scream if someone else does. Space is limited, and … Continue reading Rat Race

There is a battle of wills – between the carved out path to success and a value system not in consonance with the same. It is not a head-on collision which throws me off, but an overarching cover which hampers flight. Fight as hard as I may, the cover is rooted somewhere deep inside me, … Continue reading Flying dreams
I check on the guest list once again. The pool is cleaned up, chairs in place, ice buckets and glasses laid out, and the aroma of fresh food emanating from the catering enclosure. I want this party to be perfect – before the water freezes. I check the phone to see if somebody is dropping … Continue reading In anticipation
The sky is clear, and the day bright. It is a level playing field, as much as one can expect. But what hits the psyche is the emptiness of it all. I returned here after a lapse- to the ideal place of my dreams. I wanted to be away from the VUCA world, back to … Continue reading Anachronism

I chose ‘Mermaid reversed’. It does not fit into the given theme. Watch the male interest … Continue reading Mermaid Reversed
“Isn’t he cute, Mama?” “Yes. He is. But you can’t cuddle him like a soft toy. Keep your hands in.” Click. Click…. Humans…. They never understand we’re a friendly lot treated well. Their interest ends after a few click sounds. I fancy the cute kid, though .. soft, must be yummy…. mmm (280 characters) https://katmyrman.com/2019/10/01/twittering-tales-156-1-october-2019/ … Continue reading Mmm…
The sky is so clear after several weeks. Vale smiles at me, as he looks up. I can’t recall when did I see him smiling last. Life has not been easy for us, but he will never know. He blames us for the unrest he feels within himself. He has reacted adversely to his mother’s … Continue reading Mirage of clarity
