Kurt Vonnegut - Sometimes, life is like that.

This story was based on this picture of Kurt Vonnegut :


which is currently my computer wall paper. Thus, the story.

For those who don't know him. He's a writer of funny stories. If I were to have a writer-idol, it'd be him. Although i never read much of his stories. (i'm stupid like that.) Also, i learnt the term "scatological" from his wiki site. which means:

sca·tol·o·gy (sk-tl-j, sk-)

n. pl. sca·tol·o·gies

1. The study of fecal excrement, as in medicine, paleontology, or biology.

2.

a. An obsession with excrement or excretory functions.

b. The psychiatric study of such an obsession.

3. Obscene language or literature, especially that dealing pruriently or humorously with excrement and excretory functions.

He died from complications resulting from falling down the stairs.

I never wrote about ghosts before this (or at least never published any here, i think) though i often wld write about pple in my imagination etc. i suppose its a breakthru too, in that sense. And i thought better publish it before the 7th lunar month is here.

On "sometimes, life is like that" - this is gary's retort/reply to me to many of my questions (sometimes mundane, sometimes existential) and there's just too much greatness and truth in that not to shut up to it.

On "life is never fair, what" - it's something i always bene wanting to put in a story, actually i wrote an epilogue to "All the people imagine", but it was too violent and I didn't include it in the end. It was about how to be borned a girl = already unfair. Because i think women got the tougher lot in life, having to give birth and menstruate, etc.

Okay. that's enough trivial for a post.
