“What is the meaning of life?”
Jeopardy* #quote
Today I went to one of my card game things. Won't be going to the
tournament tomorrow. It's a bit of a trip, early and with how long it
would last that would also make it difficult to get lunch afterward
too. I'll probably do the next one. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Book Of Insanity
Little Timothy watched his older brother read the Book Of Insanity.
His brother wrote mysterious symbols on paper and angrily muttered
curses at the sky in the deepest depths of the night as he toiled
into the words of the tome. Timothy feared that the strange book
would take his brother's life away as he would often stumble to bed,
ill-looking, and collapse.
The little boy feared the book and wouldn't dare go near it. His
brother had many books that would he would spend hours reading and
writing on paper next to. Timothy feared what strange reason that his
brother would devote so much time to such texts.
When the little boy became old enough to barely start reading he
sounded out the title of the Book of Insanity to himself.
“Sof-more...Al-gee-bra.” Timothy now knew the name of the Book
Of Insanity that drove his older brother to near sleepless nights.
The boy hoped he would never have to read such a text.
