Better yet, he threatens to do just that, unless you can "persuade" him not to.

Indeed, it explains why the rider is a fantasy creature, not a more "realistic" character like, oh, a bandit or a barbarian king --It's fun, isn't it, deconstructing Janice? And, Janice, how do you like being deconstructed? (Haha...)

This piece is really just a fantasy vision or snippet. I have no idea what I am fleeing from. Maybe you are right, maybe it is boredom. The only thing I know is that it will destroy me, it is really dangerous. Maybe I want to live a more dangerous life, after all.

This was the question which came first to me when reading this.<BR/><BR/>I wonder whether Masquer is right, the pursuing enemies are those of boredom, and the rescuing demon is the fantasies in the mind to which some of us run to escape the dull reality of our lives, appreciating all the time the strangeness and dangerous appearance of those fantasies. <BR/><BR/>HmmmmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465583196987100762.post-23273448777970202922007-08-24T19:34:00.000+00:002007-08-24T19:34:00.000+00:00I agree with Simon.
