t-50

i have been having problems with leaving every book unfinished
i hate the unrequited required need to wrap everything up
dot every eye, square every circle, tie a bow on top
but i have every end untied
i read your fiction or otherwise
but the biggest fiction of all is that it ends
and every stone has been turned over and cleaned and painted pink
and at that point i can no longer relate, can not maintain focus or appreciation
so i will continue to leave the last 50 pages alone
maybe when i am a squared circle i will get it

but maybe that's why people read
part of the whole fantasy world appeal
it's not even a happy ending that's appealing--just an ending!
