Wrote my own ending for the Murakami novel, "Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage", as it ended on a cliffhanger. In the book, Murakami's vivid descriptions and unique writing style provided a point of view that really pulled me in, so much that I wasn't only seeing the world behind the characters' eyes but actually delving into his mind, and becoming him. Through things like dreams, dark thoughts and a lot of ruminating in deep introspection, a deep layer of vulnerability is exposed, leading to a connection that transcends the vicarious, and by the end of the book I was really rooting for the character - and the cliffhanger ending left me somewhat unsatisfied; I had to imagine my own ending for it, and put it down into words.

...... ...Paper Cigarette (slices of life)... ...for better or for worse, what happens on the Camino does not always stay on the Camino.... .. it's a journal style novel (fiction)....... it's about a man who inadvertently finds himself on the Santiago/Compostela (camino) pilgrimage.... through stories and personal anecdotes, he reminisces about people and events in his life, in his quest to better understand himself with regards to his new-found spirituality and empath capabilities....... .... the quasi free punctuation, writing style is intentional.... ...the novel is about thinking and for the reader I wanted him\her not just to read about the protagonist but gradually get into the mind of the main character and feel his thoughts........ also, paragraphs usually start with a mood word to set the tempo/tone of the forthcoming story segment....... ....one last thing.....since every journal entry has a geographical city location, to accentuate the reading experience, it is recommended to Google/search the city images.......as a picture is worth a 1000 words hence opening up an insight into the protagonist's world.....
