Prologue
It rained and rained. The storm was
rising on and on. He had no place to go. He ran from here to there. Crying for help and searching for
shelter. But the streets were lonely and
the town was empty. The wind was howling
and it chased him where ever he went. Soaking wet in the rain he ran from house
to another house, door to door knocking as loudly as he could but no one
answered. He felt as if someone was
following him so he turned around every single time but no one was there. The
horror of the night was killing him slowly and slowly and he was getting tired
with every step he took, with every scream that he cried for help. With lost
hope he walked down the street with tears rolling down his cheeks. He no more
fought with the force against him. He surrendered and gave up the hope that he
would be safe and sound anymore. The rain was pouring hard on his body, drop of
rain dripping down his chins to his chest and to the ground, he no more felt
the fear. He knew it was his time to leave his body and to be ruthlessly murder
by his enemies. As he reached the middle of the road he feel on his knees
praying this nightmare would be soon over. Suddenly the street light was on and
he found himself on the spotlight making him easily visible but he was totally
blinded. But again he didn’t force himself to get up and to run away. He was
tired of this game of hide and seeks. Now all he wanted was get over with this
and to get some peace. Then he saw a shadow nearing towards him. He could smell
the rage of the soon to be his murderer. The shadow now turned into a figure of
man with a knife but he couldn’t see his face. He tired a lot to focus but his
eyes were weak now. He could just see a male figure standing there in front of
him. He wanted to see his face; he wanted to know who that heartless beast was
trying to kill him. He wanted to know whose heart had he broken that much that
the person wanted him to suffer to death. With his final strength he whispered
“kill me” and collapsed on the concrete ground. Soon he felt a sharp pain in his palm of his
left hand and he cried as loudly as he could. Then the sharp pain came from his
right shoulder. Then he felt the rapid jolts of thunder around his back. He
felt that his body was being attacked by thousand of swords and that it was not
stopping at all. He wished that he could just fell asleep but he couldn’t he
could feel the pain and that was not letting him close his eyes. As the monster
was attacking him he thought how beautiful his life was, how perfect life he
lived and soon enough he didn’t feel the pain. He was now lost in his own world of memories. Memories of his mother who loved with all her heart. He remembered the time when she used to feed him with here own hands. He was a total mamma’s boy and he was proud of that. He was worried what would life be for her to bury her own child without even seeing him live properly. He thought of his dad and his brother. Though he and his brother were twins nothing was similar between them. One could easily point out difference between them. He thought that his brother and his dad were so alike. The same tone in their voice. The same grin when they smiled and there same habits. He wondered what they would do. Whom would dad call from office to help him with his grammar? Whom would his brother go to when he had problems with his life at school? Than he felt that he had so much to do. This was not his time to go. He had an unfinished story to complete. He realized that he had his first date the next day with this girl who was his crush for a year. Finally after lots of practice and watching the movies he had gained enough courage to ask her out and when he had she was delighted and said yes. He felt his heart sinking. He saw her face smiling looking at him and suddenly it faded away and he remembered how he got here.
