"A single love letter subsuming an ocean"
"... An apocalypse occurs in the story of Chyatna Nasakeko Chithi, but only inside the mind. It faces the seven plagues, also only inside the mind. It wrecks a marriage, that too inside the mind. The two scars of two chins merge and expose the intimate parts of a married life, but all inside the mind. It has a grand story without a grand plot. What exists in absence keeps the plot and the story moving...
... The entire novelette is presented in a monologue letter. Throughout the letter there are flashbacks, fantasy, and ruminations. With story and rumination, narration often becomes so detailed that every second and millisecond of an incident seems to have been accounted for. It takes great craftsmanship to be able to make so many experiments in a tiny novelette of this size. The story might appear to end in haste. However, it is not the author's doing, but the story itself couldn't be kept going anymore - for a new birth was awaiting the protagonist, a new journey was beginning..."
