An ode to desolation

An ode to desolation

A Story by Jeannette Lunete

"The soft illusion that it was ordinary to recall your ghosts never faded away. I called you Summer when you were my cloudiest autumn. I ripped the shadows out of the walls to make you the only one passing my footprints. Leave the skill to blind me behind you or I will never see again. Make it stop. Or I will." Mr. Robinson wrote these lines before the storm came and all the ink kissed the sky instead of the paper. 

Mr. Robinson kissed the gates of lucid dreams after he lost his beloved chameleon Summer. 
Summer was a mentalistic breakthrough. He reflected the colours of Mr. Robinson's lucid dreams. 
Mr. Robinson would always shut the door hystericaly after seeing the sky in a wrong shade of blue.
Mr. Robinson could steal the patience of a therapist but the cactus tapestry in his toilet can listen too.
Mr. Robinson ignores humanity, because humanity is a stubborn leech.
Mr. Robinson hates ukulele players that don't offer him a pinacolada.
Mr. Robinson should embrace the order in every chaos.

After dealing with this nature you should beware. Mr. Robinson loves to confuse. He loves to contrast and to deliver you nonsense. However it doesn't matter anymore. Mr. Robinson lost his footprints and got instead the zest that brand new wings bring you.

You are a amazing writer. You know how to use words to make them have life. This story told me of thoughts and places hidden and secret. I like the title. I like the set-up of the short story.
"Mr. Robinson wrote these lines before the storm came and all the ink kissed the sky instead of the paper. "
The ending me with the wish to read more. I like poetry that test the mind. Your story did. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hey!! This was amazing; the wording is really impeccable and it flowed so nicely!
I noticed just one thing that I thought I'd point out. The sentence "Mr. Robinson wrote this lines before..." did you mean "wrote these lines"? That is a typo that I make a lot too!

I also wanted to praise you on the imagery. You painted a great picture with a few words, and that is a rare talent to find. It just goes to show how very little description is needed when it comes to simply putting forth a story with a specific feeling and image. For that, I applaud you. Well done! :)
