Stolen
February 13, 2014
Summary:
Contact was subtle. An inkling of something strange, but the knowledge that the oddity was merely imagination; but it wasn't just imagination. Once you start to believe that it is there, it starts to seep inside you. Once it is inside, it starts to whisper, and you can only listen. And then it steals you.
Unless you can fight back.
But by fighting you realize what it truly is. By fighting you realize that it is only following instinct; by fighting you realize that everything was a mistake.
By fighting, you make escape impossible.
By fighting, you destroy yourself.

Yay! Thank you so much. It's really reassuring that there's a good crowd out there for this sort of work - this is my first story centered entirely on philosophy. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks!

I love the philosophical aspect of this story, (partly because I study philosophy, and partly becuase I study Neuroscience) a nd thought this was a very unique piece, especially if you take the layout into account, it's very cool. :) I hope you keep writing, because I love reading your work. CX

Yes, a philosipher! I'm so glad that you liked it, and I was hoping that it would be intruing and send your mind off to do a little excavation. I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Wow, my mind was whirling in 50 different directions. I looove philosiphy and find it extremely interesting. I love how you had his desire to steal take form and have conversations with his "victim" It was really good and well written to, I hope more people read this because that was really good!!!

I'm so glad you like my work! I find that a lot of peopel are repelled by philosophy under the illusion that it is dull and unmeaningful; when really, it explains how everything - people and the universe alike - work together in ways that are so beautifully abstract. I wrote this after reading the finale to the Ender's Game series (by the highly respected author Orson Scott Card, who seems to live and breath philosophy in his books) and tried to express the deep concepts in a simple way. No backstory - it's open, for the reader to decide. I have to say, what you inferred from this is surprisingly accurate to what I tried to convey, which is reassuring. I'm glad my work is appreciated; this is my first truly philisophical work, but I hope to post more. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I do agree that it has almost no background information, which is necessary. I was originally going to have the first chapter be an introduction for a real storyline, which I may still do, to give that info. But then I grew curious of the characters I had created, and started going along and making their orginially short conversation much longer, which is the book you see here. I'm glad you like it; it's more of a philisophhical message than a real novel. And try not to get your head torn off... That can't be good for your health.

I read the first three chapters and I like it a lot. I love how unique this is and I admire you for it. Although it is kind of hard to follow along without any background knowlegde of the characters. I know you left it to the reader to interpret it how they will, but I think you left it a little too open for interpretation. Again I am baffled at the originality of this book, but there's not enough background knowlegde to read this easily. I'm sure if I read more than I'll understand more of it, but I only got five more minutes on the computer before my sister tears my head of haha. (i've been on for a good two hours haha) Well I love this a lot. Kudos on your originality! :D
