Description That's not right. No, not right at all.
I could have sworn that was right, but it isn't.
Just delete a few things here, shift things around there…
Still not right! What's wrong with it?
That's not it, nor is this, or that, or that.
But something's wrong.

I think.

What do you think?

Come on, you can see it as plainly as I can, and I'm sure you can see what it is.








Well?
No, not that.

Don't lie to me!

Really?
That's exactly what you think?
but
                 I
                     thought
                                   that
                                          was
                                                 the
                                                       only
                                                              thing
                                                                       right
                                                             with
it...
      maybe
               everything's
           just
falling
           apart
                   and
                          I
                             don't
                      know
            how
                   to
                                 fix
                                        it
                                            so
                                     can
                                          you
                                  help
                            me
                                  because
                               I
                                 don't
                      know.











And neither do you, if I'm thinking right
                                         because
                                                     nothing
                                                 is
                                                                       right.
                                No.
                                Nothing.
                                Nothing's wrong.
                                Except for everything.
                                I don't even know why I'm telling you all this.
I mean,                                it's not like you know.
                                       Is it?
                                                  You're just
you.



And I'm just me.



But I made this, all this, for you, and you can't even see what's wrong
                                                              with
                                                it.

Well, I guess that's settled then.
              Neither of us know.
How about that?
                                                    Hmm?
                                But...
    something's
                                still
                                               broken.




Is it just me?

            Am
                      I
            Just
                              B
                  r
                          o
                                 k
               e
                      n
                                      Or
Is
            Everything?

Wow. Very good. And the broken lines as well. Reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, with the Mouse's Tail poem. But thats probably just because we studied it in English so I have Alice in Wonderland on the brain.
Anyway- great

Thanks Claire

I was just randomly typing in an attempt to shake off the bad taste of that pretty poor flash fiction I recently wrote, and the idea resurged in my mind for messing with the physical structure of the lines. I'm planning on writing a flash fic at some point that does a similar thing, with the words forming a path that matches the narrative
