Just a freaky flow of thoughts in panic
Tu veux partir, pars
(Leave, when you leave)
This week Cosmopolitan’s sex position of the day is “The Stand and Deliver”. It gives instructions as for how to have a quickie. It’s cute, but so for like total idiots who don’t know how to follow their basic instincts…
Though, I’m not sure myself if basic instinct is the right thing to do. At this point it tells me to escape the circumstances.
So, I’m thinking that and I bump on this one story.
The Appointment in Samarra, is a story by W. Somerset Maugham, which is the prologue in the novel by John O’Hara.
Death speaks:
There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned, I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in his flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he came to me and said,
“Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning?”
“That was not a threatening gesture,” I said, “it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.”
Life is fun, it’s fantastic!
You never know when it ends.
It’s like a quickie.
