Story of My Life

Why do I continue with this book the chapters either deadly dull or all the action occurring at once in an overwhelming cascade of events that muddles the mind too complex to keep up with impossible to sort out the storyline rendering me confused and stupefied A tedious and tiresome tragedy The plot painfully predictable yet I persevere through every page pensive, apprehensive for the conclusion that I’m certain will be formulaic utterly forgettable I’ve given up on others under similar circumstances returned them unfinished to the library donated them to charity It’s futile to have faith it will get any better in the second half yet I can’t bring myself to capitulate to wave the white flag of surrender and cast it aside I will see this story through to the bitter end because it’s mine
