writer's block

[self-authored.. incomplete though!! title explains the rest]

surrocco fredregezki was standing in front of a tall, rectangular building.. tall, rectangular buildings are not miracles to humans on earth, who evolved enough to emulate matchboxes to construct places of dwelling (or viceversa..)

but, tall rectangular buildings are unusal objects in the land of vitro where flat, groundlike substance of infinte smoothness existed till infinity.this tall building (like few other buildings) served a purpose which not many vitrians knew of, and who considered it a waste of time, to think 'bout the building twice.. they thought about it once every week during the vitro weekly meetings, where tall buildings were always on the agenda, and the vitrians would very silently (vitrians didnt talk much anyway) divide into three groups when "tall buildings should be levelled" came up for voting and would cast a "yes", "no", "which tall buildings??" vote. The voting results would always remain the same.. a surprisingly equal number of votes in the 3 categories.. humans in these situations would do a quick math and reason out that because there are 3 groups and an equal number of votes have been cast by all the groups, and assuming all the vitrians have voted, the number of vitrians should be a multiple of 3.. or 3n.. where n is a positive integer.. (most humans have good math skills).. and.. because there was always a unanimous (uniform) dissension.. the tall buildings continued to exist..

surrocco continued to stare at the building. he didnt know why he was doing this, but he knew he had to do it and he did just that. he had been doing this for hours now. he tried to break free from this once, and tried to dwell upon his thoughts, there werent any.. there was no trace of a past.. all he remembered was a name "surrocco fredregezki" which he wasnt sure was his, but took it anyway, all the time wondering who would have such a long last name.. he liked the name though.. surrocco - surrogate (webster - someone who takes the place of another person) was he supposed to take someone else's place? (he had already taken someone else's name) or was he someone else?.. and why was he staring at the building?? there were too many questions all of a sudden and his mind began to race, he didnt like the feeling.. instead, he continued to stare at the building.. he knew the answer was lurking in the building he was staring at, and he continued to stare at it glassily..
