Oblivion - Large Print by J Rod (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Oblivion is an act of self-love. It is looking in the mirror and realizing that the most important person in the world is that reflection with strengths and weaknesses. It is looking for a forceful alternative to eliminate physical and mental pain and be happy. Forgetfulness occurs in any person, place or in any dimension. This story is one of forgetfulness, without names of people, places, or references. It is about one more life in any remote part of the universe trying to forget in order to be able to love himself again. And perhaps, if hope never dies, love again the only person in the world who can achieve happiness, even if it depends on third parties and innumerable complex factors to converge positively. Only love can do it. Even if it is a leap into the void, only a brave person or a dreamer would do it.

"Even if I die.

And when the last ray of sunlight hits the ground I will continue to lurk,

Not like a wild animal on its prey

But as a faithful servant, waiting every moment, For the moment, I need to heal your wounds,

To dry tears from your flushed cheeks.

I will not give a single span, without rest, without respite. I will be there again and again, dealing sleepless nights, Waiting for a slight chance in front of your door

Forcing the universe to return you to me,

Forcing him to give me back your spring skin,

Your burning lips and your childish humor

And my routine will be to wait for you,

One day, one year, one decade, my whole life

I will be there, reminding you who I was.

Forcing your soul to feel me and your mind to think of me, Until you go back to the same path

Where one day you were happy

And do not go back to another path by mistake, That is not me, or anything that I do not offer you, I will shovel at every step, at every moment,

No, I will not stop, even if I die. "



Review Quotes

" At least I was able to smile several times envisioning myself in the future. I imagined her happy forming a family and I was just a simple spectator.

For an instant I managed to let out that pride that I had lost after she left, and I thought to myself:

I was not born the day I met you,

Before you, my world had already revolved many times around the sun,

My eyes had already observed the wonders of the planet. Before you, I was already great,

And since I was, I can be countless times.

And if one day I found you by chance I am sure,

You will be sadder to have lost me,

Than me if I wasn't the one who took you to the aisle.

I was bragging, exaggeratedly, when the icy water from the water dispenser installed in the garden began to soak my shirt and I ran inside. Not even being alone did she stop overwhelming me. When I tried to minimize it, destiny would appear and slap me, like that wet one that, coupled with the humid weather and the low temperature of that afternoon, caused me a bad cold and to stay in bed for a couple of days drinking all kinds of infusions."

" I walked many blocks thinking incessantly about her. At every step I felt that the depth of her gaze and her immense smile stunned me until I was walking almost unconscious through the streets of that city, which now seemed unknown to me. I traveled all the corners of the place where she lived, while I thought about her repeatedly. For moments, I felt the most immense joy of having seen her smile once more, but I was also trapped by the nostalgia and sadness of thinking that I could have made that smile mine forever and undo it with a kiss whenever I wanted. "

" I went over the lines of my speech one by one, while I relaxed in the hammock located in the center of the garden of that old house of my parents. Up to there I could feel the breeze and it mitigated a little that tickling running through my entire body through the nerves of directly throwing all the love stored in my heart at it. A dark green jacket was my choice. Green was always her favorite color, and a plain dark tie complemented the outfit for the occasion. I arrived an hour early so I could relax with some tea. Fortunately, the place had a long list of infusions of all kinds, among which there were relaxants that I combined to calm me down and focus on achieving my goal. I went through the script a couple of times and how I should express each word so that it would not be misunderstood. The table was set. "
