Mr. Tales-The Aftermath


Dear friend,

            Tonight I sit in my room in the aftermath of the calamity.  Wondering what caused the destruction, and why paper seemed to be affected the most.  It makes me think about how fragile even the soundest structures can be, and just how many pieces go into its creation.   I try to use it metaphorically to try and understand relationships and how the best can be destroyed in minutes, and how some people will sweep the pieces away and move on, while others will wait for them to decompose into the earth.  
            I don’t know how I feel about my room after the chaos has settled…It feels different.  I think humans crave to be around anything that has destructive power, ones that can both build and deconstruct.  It is exciting, feeling that adrenaline pulse through your body.  It makes you think that maybe you could do the same, but then again I’d be kidding to ever think myself an architect or a destructor, I think I will always remain an onlooker, or be a resident in the building that collapses.

Sincerely,
Tales
