the Garden of Forking Paths

Ana C. put one of my "poems" up here
Ana C. used one of my drawings here
She seems like a genuine person

I read this short story "Garden of Forking Paths" by Jorge Luis Borges.
it was so short, only ten pages long.
the last page gave me chills, and I wrote in my book
"chills chills when did a book last give you chills?"
I don't remember. A while ago.
Maybe it was Septimus' suicide scene in Mrs. Dalloway.
and before that...oh i dont know
I mean, I've read some very good stories/books
but nothing compares to Borges story. It's haunting. It's haunting me. It was hard to speak afterward, I just kept saying aloud "What? What? What?" I couldn't get back into reality, I was stuck in the story.

Damn. Damn. completely mind blowing.
It's a mystery. about time. about parallel existence. and all the forks.
god damn.
