Summary

Day in and day out we feel like life can become routine or mundane.we wonder why has life become so boring and every waking day feels the exact same. Maybe you just haven’t trained your mind enough to see or simply just refuse to take a peek.after all,it doesn’t have a voice and can’t talk its hidden and silent no matter if it tries it simply can’t speak. Every word in every conversation even if you’d swear you had the same one a million times before.there hides a whole string of conversations,antics and motives and so so much more. Once you start noticing you’ll never ever be the same.you’ll realize before long you have started to question everything. Maybe it’s a certain way someone smiles with that certain look inside their eyes that tips you off.you can’t place what it is but behind that smile hides devious and devilish thoughts. It’s impossible to know everything and don’t forget people always lie.some even hold to them when they’re caught red handed and can live in their delusions their entire life until they finally die. If only we were psychic and knew ones true intentions,it’d be nice to know before hand that a friend was actually malicious. It’s be nice to know when a lovers “I love you”s were truly authentic and of true intentions or if they were actually lying every time that they said it.

The Devil Is In the Details

Here’s one example hopefully no one relates to but judging from the worlds population there’s sadly more than just one of you


For instance,Wouldn’t it be nice to know your best friend only pretended to make such a connection,just to trick you into trusting them so you let them in not truly knowing their intentions


Maybe it was a simple reason to pretend such a thing,maybe they just like your house or all your nice things.or maybe it’s more scandalous and they want your life,everything in it,and even your wife.


Maybe you didn’t see or realize they weren’t sincere and you let their behavior go untouched for a few too many years.once they think they can do everything the same or better than you do,then all that’s left in the end is to finally become you.


Behind the trusting smile of that friend you were fooled thinking you’d share life with until your last,held a knife firmly in hand but you never saw it it was behind their back.


It gleamed in the rooms light but still fear didn’t grip your side,the gleam simply shined in your wife’s beautiful greenish blue eyes.


Now there’s two layers of trust mistakingly given.you’ve wasted your whole life sleeping in a bed with snakes quietly hissing.


By the time the knife finally appears and you see it,everything in you don’t want to believe it so for all your sakes that relate to this most tragic of fates dammit I hope you’re listening!


Pay attention!!!


That’s just one example of a million other tales that you can fester your own suggestions or decide isn’t real.


But next time you see that questionable smile or have a friend too close too fast you can brush off what I’m saying and go back to your mundane life and live the same everyday til your very last.


But If you decide to wind the reel of thoughts inside your mind then it won’t be long before you bait your hooks and cast out your line.


Although you must be Careful when fishing in the waters there,those are hells fishing waters and demonous fish love to swim there.


Reel it back empty handed and cast it out again but just like those thoughts,you know better than to try the same spot but test your luck somewhere different.


For all of your sakes and wants for happy endings at stake I do hope I’m wrong and you can pack your tackle box catching nothing at hells lake


But just remember even if you didnt and shut off your thoughts that this is just a short made up story and nothing more,the devils in the details and it’s still smiling in those “empty waters” waiting for you to come back so it can trick you some more.
