The text was enough to clear my worries. I walked out of the room. Her text reminded me of the trip I had planned. Since it was getting dark, I returned to the kitchen, where I and Alice had our dinner. For dinner, we had rice and fish. Alice had made the dinner , so I said nothing about how sticky the rice was, nor how raw the fish was. So when she asked me, “Is the food good? “ I stuffed my mouth with rice and fish, and nodded my head furiously. I couldn’t say that the food she made was sticky and not well cooked.
Seeing my nod, Alice looked at me suspiciously and took a bite of the food on her plate. She looked at me and directly spat the food on her plate. She hurriedly drank the water. Frowning at me, she said, “How come you are still eating this sh*t? “
I ate another spoonful of rice and said, “This ain’t that bad.. I have eaten worse food, and yours isn’t anywhere near that leve
Taking the meat that I cut from the deer, I returned to the camp. Alice and both of our mothers were sitting around the newly built campfire. My and Alice’s dad had returned to the woods a long time ago. It was getting dark, so we cooked the meat and ate it. Then we talked with each other till midnight. The talk was all about what we all were doing nowadays. Both, mine and Alice’s fathers were proud of me for playing with Carters.I didn’t have pride in my eyes. You might think I might have. I don’t know why, but I felt in my heart; Something is wrong. But ignoring the feeling I had, I continued talking with my and Alice’s parents; And soon we retired for the day and returned to our own camps. After the uneventful night passed, morning came quickly. We got ready and started doing our own work. We had already discussed this yesterday, each of us would do the work decided yesterday.The camping wasn&rsquo
My body trembled when I saw Alice on the ground. Her body was almost pale, and the pooled blood spread on the road. Ever her clothes had turned red because of the blood. I rushed towards her, and raising her head a little, I rested it on my lap. Then I repeatedly called her, “Alice.. Alice, get up.. “ I tried everything I could do, but she didn’t wake up. Tears formed in my eyes and dripped down my eyes, streaming down my face. I brought my lips on top of her head and kissed her forehead. My tears fell on Alice’s face.A laughter echoed the road. It belonged to James. Raising my head, I looked at him with fury. Only a single sentence was on my mind. ‘ He killed Alice. ‘Even though he was also the one who killed my and Alice’s parents too; But my mind was almost blank. Only the fact that James had killed Alice remained in my mind.I stood up and rushed towards James. James looked at m
‘Maybe this is what it is to be dead. Floating around in the darkness for an infinite time. ‘, I thought. I have been floating in this darkness for some years now. You all might think, how do I know? It’s easy. If you count the seconds that you have spent, it is easy to know how much time you have spent in such places, where time cannot be perceived. Counting ain’t that hard.One minute has sixty seconds and one hour has sixty minutes. So in one hour there are three thousand six hundred seconds. And in a day, there are twenty-four hours. If you do the maths, it means Eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds a day. A year has three hundred and sixty-five days, so the number of seconds a year has been thirty-one million five hundred thirty-six thousand. And this is the seconds in a year. I have spent nearly four years in this dark world. So, you might understand the astronomical figure.‘Maybe this is the
Some unknown force sucked my soul inside a space crack. It was like I became unconscious when I was getting sucked, because I don’t remember what happened when I got sucked into the space crack. When I was conscious, I laid on the ground. There was sand and I could feel my body for the first time in eleven years as a soul. I touched my body.I was excited, but that’s when the same church bell like sound came from the front. This was the first time I noticed my surroundings. It was like I was in some sort of palace. It was weird and had settings similar to that of a haunted house. The palace was at the centre of a sea, and to reach the centre ; There was a path that passed on top of the water surface.The place where I woke up was at the far end of the path to the palace. I was curious about the existence of this palace, so I walked towards it. Wind howled as I stepped towards the palace; the sea, which was calm at first,
“Chitragupta... I’ve heard this name. Isn’t it a Hindu mythological character? “, I pondered. Chitragupta smiled and said, “ Yeah, I am the same one you thought of.” With a sigh, I thought in my heart, ‘So is this hell? I really came to hell. ‘Chitragupta chuckled and said, “No.. This isn’t hell. Believe me, if you were in hell, we might torture as soon as you entered. But you aren’t.. “ It surprised me, not because of what Chitragupta had said, but because I never spoke out loud. So how come he answered me? That’s weird. I dropped the idea of asking him how he knew what I thought.But it seemed like Chitragupta had already known what I was thinking. He said with a sagely smile, “It’s because I am manasaputra of the creator of this world, Lord Brahma. You might know him? Right? “ I nodded, because I have heard of this name. When this nam
Lord Yama laughed out loud, when he looked at my frightened look. Still petting the dogs, he raised one of his weapons, Noose, and brought it near his right shoulder. Then he did something I least expected. He started scratching his shoulders with a deadly weapon. This even made me doubt the life of gods and mortals.While he started laughing and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I am not some demon who would gobble you up. “ As soon as he said those words, the dogs sitting calmly beside the throne growled while looking at me. Lord Yama looked serious, and he said in a serious tone, “But I can’t tell about these two.. They might as well eat you. Hahaha.. “ Then he started laughing out loud like a maniac. I didn’t even find that funny. How the f*ck did this guy thought it was funny.Even the book holding assistant of Lord Yama, Chitragupta, didn’t find those words funny. He just shook
“This.”, I said, while looking at what was before me. Not because I wanted to, but because no other words came out of my mouth.After we shook our hands, Lord Yama brought me together with Chitragupta, to the reincarnation tunnel. I thought it might be something like a tunnel, but it wasn’t like anything I thought. It looked like a water slide. Yeah, you heard me right. It was indeed like a water slide. There was a slide, by which we had to slide down to our locations.It was indeed as childish as I had said. There was an indicator that separated male and female souls for reincarnation.Yama made me slide down to the indicator where I got separated from the line of souls on the slide and thrown in a separate path of male souls.Meanwhile, female souls got picked up by some kind of invisible force and placed down like princesses. Lord Yama was indeed a little too much. I mean, I understand if you like
It’s true when people say that time passes quickly. I felt like I was just born, but I grew up from a day year old boy to a year old boy. I could understand what other said, but unfortunately I can’t speak properly. Except Baa-Baa, Boo-Boo. This was the only thing that made me similar to all these kids around me. Although I am a kid now, but I have to say that kids are weird and disgusting. You might think the same if you were to be where I am...Five kids surrounded me. Each of them was between a year to eight months old, three boys and Two girls. And I have to say that boys are more disgusting than girls. And no! It isn’t because they are girls. I didn’t call them disgusting. But because they weren’t. A fat guy sitting beside me sneezed suddenly and his snot was about to fall on my new clothes. Thankfully, I evaded his snot attack. Yeah, it is weird..Today is my first birthday in this world. Although
