You know that you want me.
Right from the time you heard what I had to say.
Let me recall your words.
Exciting.
Impressive.
Damn hot!
I would’ve articulated it much better but that’s what makes me more attractive than others.
Not a dull moment when I’m around. I’m the heart of every story and the twist that’ll make your head spin around.
You think I’m headed somewhere, then I turn to sweep you off your feet, your lingering gaze and half-open mouth screaming – Give me more, baby! Right here! Right now!
Is that heavy breathing and a thumping heart?
Yes! I’m too sexy for my own good.
Will someone tell this to the fool who I have little choice but to be with. She says I’m a nuisance, a fool, a hyperactive fellow with an ego bigger than a mountain.
How rude!
She’s lucky to have me. Without me, she would’ve been plain ordinary.
Seriously?! Who wants to be that way?
No offense to those who have no choice but that’s a sad existence.
Imagine the limitations. No scope for improvement.
Dullness inside them. Boredom around them.
No oomph! No sass! No I’m a badass!
She keeps me up all night and makes me do things I’ve sworn never to reveal.
When we’re both worn and exhausted, she inundates my senses with the cheapest booze.
I ask her why not the good stuff?
She retorts that the day I help her write a bestseller, she’ll pop open a bottle of bubbly. I switch off and leave her to brood by herself.
I’m a writer’s brain not a genie. The only drama I create is for the pages.
Very good Terveen, if you want to read this one from Natalia that appeared today. greetings Juan

Thank you so much, Juan. And thanks for sharing this brilliant post. It’s so uncanny that two stories with a similar idea were published today. Though the styles are complete opposites. I especially like the dark one. 🙂

Quite a post, Terveen. Maybe it took a genie for this proclamation, you never know. Very cleverly written.

Bahut shukriya aap ka! And the spelling is great! Merci! 🙂

Bahut I seem to remember is very or a lot. Aap is you. Ka is of? «Operators» change from one language to the other. What is «on» in one becomes «in» in another. I assume «ka» works the same.
All in all, it should be «Thank you very much…».
De même. Of (the) same

The ending gave me whiplash! 😀 I was trying to figure out what the surprise at the end would be but you had me fooled the entire way! Brilliant and edgy and fun, this one is. You really do have a magic touch, Terveen. 🙂

Haha! The writer’s brain can come across as so many things. I think it can be deceptive and receptive, a pain and a comfort. I still don’t understand mine but thought let’s give it a sexy image. Maybe it’ll settle for some time and bask in the newfound glory. Am I rambling? Don’t blame me. Thanks for the awesome response, Mike. I appreciate it. 🙂

This was like a riddle I was trying to solve. At first I thought you were talking about me, but I was wrong. You really had me guessing. I have to say this is a pretty accurate description of the way my brain feels when it’s going good. When it’s not, there’s usually more jumping off of cliffs in my mind. But anyway, awesome stuff. I love your brain!

Haha! I can see how you could’ve been mistaken. I’m sure you fit the description pretty well. And the writer’s brain has its ups, downs, and crazy moments which can last for some time. I suppose it’s best to let it be and just enjoy the whacky ride. Thanks so much! P.S. It’s good to have you back. I hope you’ve been well. 🙂
