RE: A Tale of Sudden Onset Sovereignty
Hopefully the tide turns to love. I think the story points us in the direction of the duke's original thought turning to loving his servant. Or at least that's what she would like. The story requires a careful read, but it is cohesive. I mean it doesn't contradict itself; I have that problem with my freewrites, I feel; my mind doesn't want to hold to the same theme or thread.
Everything I have written the past two or three months has been on the same theme - the awakening of the zombies now walking the earth, and out finding that our true powers are rooted in love. I really thought this was going to be different, but here it is again.
She thinks he's an idiot, and he is. But by the end of the story, the absurdity of his notions and how they come to be (to not sort fold and put socks in a sock drawer was told to him by his telly), finally becomes clear to him and he can now think for himself, zombie no more. She's never been a zombie, just tolerating them because they pay her to. But the moment she has been waiting for, that moment when the zombies start to think for themselves, has come by the end of my little story. She doesn't love him at all. Although I did not know that at the time I started writing. I didn't know anything!!! Love freewriting.
