Amazingly, I had entered the spiral long before I actually realized I was treading on it. And once I realized that i was in the spiral, i didnt want to go out of beacuse i thot i wud a long stretch and i thot I wud see beautiful pink and purple flowers, crystal clear blue water, lush green trees, and big multi coloured butterflies.
Initial part of the spiral was full of surprises and each day was discovering something new, some thing wonderful. But as i walked along, it wasnt the same. It became darker and dirtier. I kept walking because i kept imagining this wud change. But it was to dark to see that scenery had changed, It was too dark for me to realize that I should have walked out of the circle. I kept walking, but now it was dark and the stench was too overpowering for me. Finally there was a little light, that wen i realised what was around me. I moved out, but i wasnt completely out.
I enetered the smaller circle. I was cautious this time. I forced myself not to expect, yet I did. Yet again the circle didnt change. It was dirty and stinky as usual. I soothed myself by saying "some places never change." Again I moved out.
But yet again the circle succeeded in calling me back. This tym I was very cautious. This tym I was just waiting for a reason to come out. And expected the circle did give me a reason to come out of it. It did live "up" to my expectations.
And now wen i look back at the circle, I feel happy that i left it. Call me a sadist, but I feel happy that the circle is stinking and rotting. But, i feel sad because I expected so much more from the spiral and the spiral couldnt even give me a decent road to walk on. I know I dont want to look back at the spiral again, but wenever I do I feel pity for it.
