Just A Snippet Of Someone's Life
Just a snippet of someone's life
D-DAY beaches, France
We are walking to one of those big harbor wrecks or something. The wreck seems big and old.
"I don't think we're allowed in here.", I say. We are standing close to the 'entrance' of an overturned wreck.
"It may be dangerous, I think the sign just means: enter at your own risk ."
We still want to take a look and walk inside.
Something is different here. Time flows around us, weighs down on us. It is silent, the only thing you hear is brown noise of the space, and the water that leaves us behind in here.
"I don't think the energy in here feels nice."
"Me neither. is that blood on those walls?"
"That is rust, honey."
"Oh."
It might be rust, but that doesn't take away that everything seems to slow down here like we're traveling in time. Funeral pace. Back to the loud D-Day, burdensome, but not breathless. The silence wants to tell us something, but now it is a bit timid.
We step outside again and we're back here, now, safe.
"What if we actually traveled in time and went back for a minute?"
"I think we would have noticed."
But time is so unpredictable, it sneaks past us while we're holding onto it so tightly. Leaving only an imprint in the shape of a wreck.

Valkyrie in the MCU
It kind of bugs me when people who have read Percy Jackson say "O i wish i could read this again for the first time". It envys me, because I have barely any memory of when i read pjo for the first time. Sure they are my favorite books and they are what got me into reading, but i read them when i was really young.
This meant for me that i rememberd the plot, but not/barely any of my reactions to it. I can never say, "Wow i remember being so suprised when this and this happend etc." So when i read these books for the second time i wasn't suprised by the plot anymore, no shocking reactions for me.
The one comfort i have is that of what i do remember, how i liked the funny chapter names. But mostly, the feeling i had when i read the books and my growing love for them. It makes reading them again also incredibly amazing.
And for me, maybe even better than the first time i read the books.
What are your thoughts on this?
