Unnamed 3 (He was reluctant to concede that he was never good at expressing...) #1 (permalink) Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:58 am   Unnamed 3 (He was reluctant to concede that he was never good at expressing...)
 

...He was reluctant to concede that he was never good at expressing himself clearly. And why not, he was borned and brought up in a village far away from the crowd. He was certainly weak at English and so obsessed with this weakness that he even cheated on the exam once.

He somehow befriended few classmates, especially the smiling, blue eyes. But always
found himself alienated and misunderstood. He lost himself into the thoughts and got away from the reality.

He couldn't even concentrate on his studies. There was no option for him but to mug up the text before his first exam. And eventually his first failure made him feel so miserable and low.

Life showed no mercy for him, his mother died in an accident and his father got lost into alcohol and drugs. It made him so indifferent to the feelings that he retreated in his own shell....

End of the story ;)

Unnamed 2 (His teachers, too, had a lot of faith in him. And as expected, he...)

Unnamed (1) He - a clever, thoughtful, shy and still a kiddish boy was living...

Gray,

You killed his mother, made his father an alcoholic and him a loser!! :)

It's 'the happiest' end I've ever read :)))

This is just a story.
And I did justice to it for life is not as dramatic as stories are :)

I myself have been a reader for a long time and always felt that the end should be happy.

The story ends, but leaves a beginning behind ;)

This was my first attempt to write a story :)

Which way this story should go?
What do you think?

Oh, Gray, Gray, Gray my friend. You had a whole lifetime before you.

A beautiful girl, a challenging education, from which you could have emerged a scholar of repute.

A wonderful career to forge.

A disastrous accident were all way lost.

Your decline into drink and destitution.

Your return to your simple and satisfying life in the village where you were respected because of your education and wisdom.

Another fair maiden to win your heart.

The building of a school to educate the village children........................................................................................................

Happy endings abound, and you are finished??????????????????????????????

I know, but that was not me, that was the hero of the story :)

The story ends, but leaves a beginning behind.
It was intentional, there is much left to begin with...to begin with a sequel ;)

Coming soon -- Unnamed Part II :) :) :)

Though not sequel, I hope you would like this at least --

Unnamed - the end (...but that was not the end of the world. And before him.....)
