Last few days .....

At the end of that dark corner all I could see was the motionless ugly face of death. I know that he is waiting for me, to free me from this cruel world. Earlier I was afraid of even thinking of him, but now a secret admiration has started to build up inside me. He is not that ugly as he looks. Behind his dark gown I can see a heart filled with crimson red fluid. I tried to look back to the other side, where little children were playing tireless for an endless time. All of them looked very pale. Their eyes were very big, emotionless and their frail hands moved slowly as if I'm watching a slow motion replay. What game were they playing ? I don't know. I never saw their parents around. All I could see was a vast desert behind them, and far away that yellow sand is touching the red sky. Why today the sky is so red? I forgot the day when I saw a blue sky filled with colorful butterflies. Suddenly a strange feeling filled inside me. Whether these children also have the same destiny, which I'm waiting for? "No", I heard a distant shivering voice. As I turned my face to that dark corner, to my surprise He is not there, vanished !! I started running towards that corner. But the distance is getting longer as I try to reach there. Now my legs are not moving along with me and I want to sit somewhere for some time.

When I opened my eyes I was sitting at the edge of that brightly lit corner. The morning sun rays was all over there, and I could see the roses upon which bees were hovering. I could here the sound of a distant birds. There was no one around, just me and my thoughts. I touched that granite wall,It was so soft that I could see my hand piercing through the wall. Still I could see that desert, but there were no children. Where were them gone?
I started walking into that vastness of the desert. I was feeling little scared for being alone there. The roses were not there and even the bees. There was no stone wall,no corner and no building .For a moment I thought I was dreaming,but it was real. I was standing in the middle of that desert under the scorching sun. All I could see was the vultures wondering above me, waiting for my turn to lay down. I tried to get away from them. I started running with all my energy , but my legs were not in control of mine. Some distance upfront I saw something. It was a huge cactus wearing a lush green attire adorned by thorns. Somehow I reached near to it, gasping for air into my lungs. I looked up to the sky and there were no vultures this time. All I could see was the pale blue vastness covered to the eternity. I felt very thirsty and started to look for that elixir of my life. There was nothing other than me, my tiring soul and that huge cactus. I tried to pierce an hole into that cactus. I saw a thick fluid oozing out of that hole and the color of that was red, and it smelled like blood. I was totally scared and the world around me was getting vague .I saw mist gathering around me and from that mist emerged the same ugly face of death. This time I saw him clearly and there was a mysterious smile on that face, trying to entice me.


The sound of little drops from heaven woke me up. There was nothing I could see, again my senses came alive. The cactus was not there, but I could see a trail of blood near to me. There was darkness and it was heavily raining. My thoughts were vanished, a silent void filled inside me. In the middle of that lightning shrieks I could see thick dark clouds were making a weird shadows all around me.I started counting the drops that were falling on me. But to my surprise the drops were not touching me at all .I saw the water is gathering around me trying to pull me inside the whirlpools created by that flowing liquid. Suddenly I was inside one of them, rotating with it with an unimaginable speed, it pulled me deep inside. The world was revolving around me and I felt touching a velvet. I tried to take that velvet which was pure red in color. Then I saw a beautiful coffin made out of silver wood. The artistic marks were visible all around it .I opened the cover and there was one person in an eternal sleep and his face was covered with a black veil. Me and my thoughts were in opposite directions this time. Slowly I'd taken out that veil to see the face. To my horror the face was very familiar to me. I was looking at " me" in that beautiful coffin. Then I felt someone holding my shoulder tightly. I was shivering when I looked back. There he stood covered with a black gown and I could see his mysterious smile.

I met my death....

Looking outside through that large window I saw little children playing.At some distance there stood that tree without any greenery.I just compared that lonely tree with my life.Is it coincidence that we both were looking each other? That tree also must be going through the similar phase that of mine.I don't remember how long I'd been in this bed.Strangely every visit I'd been allotted this bed only.Suddenly the scene changed,I was sinking, trying to breath, moreover trying to be alive.The world around me was getting dark.I tried move ,all I could do is move my fingers slightly.I felt the pain around my chest, I knew that this pain would be there for ever till my death.In that nearing darkness I was able to see my childhood friend.She was standing near the corridor,waving to me.I was not sure whether she is calling me or not.I tried to ask, but my voice was too feeble.Suddenly I thought of my promises, promises given to someone whom I thought I was very close.I felt very sad and the pain started to emerge from the remotest corner of my heart.Then someone took my shivering hand.It was my mother and she was in tears as if she is trying to stop me.I tried to smile at her,but I felt tears running down on my cheeks.I was feeling the chillness running through my body, first time in my life I hate the death to takeover me.I tried to pray God but I knew that it was very late for him to do any sort of miracle.I couldn't see anything because the darkness was filled allover.Again I saw my friend standing there and calling me.Strangely this time I could able to woke up and walked towards her.I saw attendants and doctors running to my bed and I saw my mother was weeping endless.Then I could see myself sleeping on that bed having no life but still I saw the body smiling at me as if it was the last bye........Of course it was the last bye
