The Man Who Ruins Mondays

Expect no further word or sign
    from me.
Your own will is whole,
    upright, and free
and it would be wrong not to do
    as it bids you,

therefore I crown and miter
    you over yourself.

--Dante / Purgatorio, Canto XXVII [ Virgil ]

Was Born Amused
With A Jar Of Perforated Hearts.

that was a very good start; and I'm interested as to see what else you do with it. I really enjoyed the overall feel, it just made me think something along the lines of *I can tell you what the final goal is but I won't tell you how to get there; you have to make it mean enough to figure out on your own* so yea, I enjoyed this alot, also I'm desperatly new here (lol) how do you add things to your favorites??

I've always disliked Mondays to begin with, the end of the weekend, beginning of yet another work week. That's quite enough BS without also having to deal with the heart perforator. Thank you, I enjoyed this.

[Joanna C. Wiese]

[Scott Casale]

That sadistic s.o.b. So that's who keeps ruining my Mondays.

Someone like that would have to be "born amused" in a sick manner. The collection of hearts reinforces this belief. ;)

This is a very interesting preface into something evolving as you continue your effortless breath. I can't wait until it is published, to read it in its entirety.

[Rohit Kumar Dasgupta]

good good lead us on oh storyteller

[Sarah Williams]

This is a very deep set of lines, especially if you consider the preceeding piece of Dante...I'm not sure that I can fully appreciate it out of context, seeing as how it is only part of a novel. Still...I'm VERY interested in the novel after reading this, so...I think you did your job well!

[Paul Hansbury]

An interesting juxtaposition of your lines with the quoted ones. An engaging double epigraph... am curious about the novel they preceed.

[Marlett Elena Hunt]

this is such a pretty work. well done.
