Si ad bivium ea accipitur.. - When she gets taken with at the crossroad..

Description

 

It takes exactly 8 minutes for the first sunbeam to reach the earth. The sky will become brighter and brighter, second by second - from a calming blue shade to an orange circle on the horizon.

The sun shines on the city, a signal for people to wake up, to fill the streets. The quiet night is taken over by background noises of cars, people and horns. It does not only symbolize a beginning of a new day but also a part of my life.

These were my thoughts when my consciousness was regained by the sound of my alarm and my eyes met the sunbeam.

I am Han JiEun and your first person narrator in this journey of life.

Foreword

 

Sometimes I go through my brain and imagine a random scene. And I really like this scene but it lacked a storyline so I kept imagining for myself.

One day our R.E. teacher showed us a poem by Marie Luise Kaschnitz

(http://ningmengan.blog.de/2008/07/03/ein-leben-nach-dem-tode-4399885/)

which deals with life after death. My friend explained that it has some inclination towards the middle part while I saw rebirth in the last half of the poem. But my friend’s explanation fired the idea in my mind and therefore I decided to create this fanfiction.

I am going to translate the most important stanza of the poem which deals with the poet’s depiction of life after death (I might violate her copyrights :S but no translations are available)

No protective covering rigid of gold

Trimmed with precious stones

A cobweb-light robe

A breath

Me around my shoulders

Caress beautiful movement

Like once by Tyrrhenian waves

Like by words which back and forth

Scraps of conversation

Come you come

This is the trigger. I won't explain the whole link between the plot and the poem since it would spoil everything... Also for the title, I am very sorry that it has to be in Latin but I wanted a special one :

I wrote a few fanfictions back then but none of them were published here - So, it’s the first time ever here. I hope you enjoy the story, comment and subscribe a lot! I apologize in advance for my sometimes stiff and machine-like writing. Thank you!

Okay... I apologize for my ultra-long hiatus! ;A; I didn't find any motivation to write this after this incident and my last preparations for university entrance was inbetween, too. I wasn't lazy though, I finally got the whole picture of the plot and I am about to gear up and finally start writing ^^ Because of this I might make some amendments to the description/foreword! Thank you!

Oh thank you so much for subscribing... But I have to disappoint you T_T I was writing on the first update but... I accidently hit the backspace button which equals the back button of my browser ... And everything was... Gone. So it will take a while longer to update and I won't use the built-in editor anymore but pre-write it with Office (Auto-Save FTW!) Sorry!
