If Life Were a Novel

Author: Mo Yifeng

| Suddenly, unsure of myself, I called out to him and asked a question I hadn't expected to ask: "Tell me, is there more meaning in being alive or in being dead?"

He stared at me for a long time. "Come here," he said.

I moved a little closer to him. Suddenly, he pulled me into his arms and rubbed his chin against the top of my head.

After a while, he said, "It's late. Let's go to sleep."|

I had a sudden idea late at night and really wanted to write some story snippets that start and end nowhere in particular.

I'm using them for practice. If you like them, feel free to read them for fun.

* First-person narration

* Characters: me and him

* Disconnected story snippets, drawing on everyday life

Theme: To be decided...
