Title: Riddles about time
Post by mrs_vengeance on Mar 21^st, 2007, 12:47pm

Hi, I'm writing a story, and need riddles about the following things:
-time
-moments
-names (not like specific ones, but just the idea of names)
-denial
-self acceptance

Preferrably "who am i" or "what am i" type riddles.

I don't excpect anyone to find any about like the last two, but any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

There ought to be quite a few in the 'what am i' section, but so far the only one I've actually found is:

Quote:

This thing all things devours,
birds, beasts, trees, flowers
gnaws iron, bites steel
grinds hard stones to meal
slays kings, ruins towns.

Maybe if you give a few hints what the story is about, some creative soul might craft a riddle around specificly for your cause..

That's actually a really good one. The story's about a girl who's the anthropomorphic version of time, but she made herself forget that. And there are like riddles that she has to figure out that lead to her reknowing what she is.. It's much more complicated than that, but that's the basic idea.

Heh

A state with many citizens,
though none would admit to it
