The Withering by George Fripley Tuesday, April 26, 2011 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
Nobody noticed the Withering, that all-pervading shadow perambulating the globe in perfect anonymity. All the people became stretched, thinner, hollow shells full of envy following those that ate life, that peddled insecurity, the crowds led to the familiar, no fears, no innovation, good ideas turned to dust blown away to obscurity. This was the Withering in action, a flooding banality, a wandering pall of grey killing originality.
