<MDWP- 10 min: First attempt at outline — would need to try again>
This is an experiment. I will attempt to make up a story in 10 minutes as I go along typing on the Most Dangerous writing app set to this time period.
This story is of a man — we’ll call him Rampursad. Rampursad likes waking up ass early in the morning so he can get some stuff done that everyone else sees as pointless. Well technically, the stuff is pointles. Let me explain — Rampursad wakes up in the morning and says prayers — not just any prayers but a series of 108 prayers , and he keeps count on beads on a necklace he’s had for a while. The beads and necklace, which was he has had since he was 7 links his present to a seemingly eternal past. He sees the world as coninuous — from the times of the legendary hindu sages down the generations to him. The continuity of birth, death and rebirth of hinduism. Rampursad lives in Nepal of the early 2000’s — the last remaining hindu nation in a world with a lot of secular nations a few problematic religion-affiliated nations.
The problem is that Rampursad’s world is about to come to a shattering end. His illusory world view is about to meet a cold harsh reality. His sense of continuity is about to encounter an abrupt discontinuity of colossal proportion, and we are about to see how he reacts to it. Is he going to embrace the fundamental unpredictibility of the world, or will he retreat to his familiar ways?
