A Beautiful Story

Hi there!
You, yes you.

I’m talking to you.

You are gawking at the screen, eager to get back to the YouTube tab on your phone….Life could not be more mundane right?
Office,home, a few videos, some games, alcohol in weekends and a few blog posts like this on days when office is at its worst.
I know, I know , life can loiter at times.
But don’t you worry, life has its own ways to creep up behind your back.

Like, how would you feel if I told you that the person you can’t stop looking at in the Cafeteria is equally interested in you, that coming Wednesday is going to be the best day of your life, that the next big thing that you are planning, yes that thing, is going to be a resounding success? Yes, you heard it…

And what if I told you that I’m standing right behind you.

Ha! Made you look. And don’t smirk if you didn’t, you think you didn’t fall for it? Dude, you have been talking to a screen for some time now…
You think that is normal?

Maybe this isn’t a run of the mill creepy-pasta. How could you assume that you are reading a normal piece of literature? What if I told you that the things that you see in here are for your eyes only.That only YOU can see and hear me. Others see a lovely romantic short story.

I’m just messing with you.. Others see a great action thriller.
You might want to look behind one more time.

Waltz with the Devil

Hello My Friends,This is an account of the most peculiar incident to have ever happened to me. And I’m pretty sure, that no other human being would have had an experience like this.Oh, how rude of me to not introduce myself. I’m…. well, let’s just call me Narrator for the time being. Now without further ado, let’s begin our story:The thing about me is that, I’m not like those other perverts. Neither do I lust over the female body, nor do I crave the basic human need, as many of my deranged fellow beings do. No.I’m just a great admirer of the female form. It’s symmetry, it’s grace, indeed the Almighty did a fine job. And every time I come across one that has astounding aesthetics, I like to preserve it. I like to glorify the Gods’ work. Pay a homage, if you will.And preserving them in amber was only natural. Brings the best out of them. An envious collection I have. Someday, I may show it to the world.Anyway, one fine day, your humble narrator was on one of his usual recces, to Jim’s bar, albeit a little late in the day. 2 a.m. to be precise. Jim’s was the local watering hole and I usually find my goddesses there. I really didn’t have much hope for that day really. Firstly, it was very late, and from what I’d heard, Jim just lets the tap run for the regulars.So, if anything, free beer was in the offing. I entered the dimly lit bar, and found no one. But to my surprise, the karaoke machine was playing.It was a grim setting. Even for a cold man like your narrator, the atmosphere was a bit unnerving. That’s when I saw her. In the dim neon lights, I could make out, a woman, sitting at the end of the table. And boy, was she pretty. I didn’t even think twice before I slid a chair was sitting next to her.

The Battle

And inevitably, it dawned upon me that my enemy was close. I could feel it, the breathing down my neck, absolute and inevitable.I look up and there it was, the monstrosity, staring me in the face. And in a fit of rage I pounced, only to get a response matching, and perhaps surpassing my own vigour.We wrestle, like mad, rabid dogs, like we were battling for the first time, and the truth could not be further. We fought, and fought and we fought some more, and then it was all over.I got up, dusted myself and walked away, ready and perhaps a little bit wiser for the next time.

The Flight

And the coarse juggernaut of the plane gave way to a smooth glide, and he could feel his legs lose weight as the plane took off.He looked down the window, the city beneath him kept shrinking, and ultimately became invisible as the white behemoth soared above the clouds.He had never liked airplanes. There was something oddly unsettling about knowing that life can end just that easily.He tried to while away the dizzy feeling. He started observing people instead. He watched the crying baby way down the aisle, his head bobbing around to express his angst. Hunger, discomfort or just plain grand-standing, no one knew what the little devil was agitated about.Then there was the air-hostess, the pretty one. Smiling away and helping people with their shit. How much does she want to punch that bald guy who keeps asking for salted peanuts.He observed this world around him and wondered.He wondered how people around him were oblivious of the fact that they were an hour or so away from not meeting each other ever again, and yet they were sharing this journey, this intimate waltz through the skies, this great risk of soaring towards the sun. Their nonchalance surprised, and perhaps angered him a little.He whiled his time away, troubling himself with these thoughts and before he could realise, it was time to land.And with bated breath, he waited for the wheels to hit the tarmac. He had never been able to shake off the feeling of impending doom during landings. Alas, his worst fears failed to materialize, and he adjusted himself back to his original position, which had been disturbed by the landing.Colour returned to his face as the plane came to a gradual halt and the cabin drowned in a din of cellphones switching on and conversations beginning.

The Discovery

Captains Log: We have been traveling for over 23 years. The crew, the ageing crew, is now transferring critical knowledge to younger members, who are now ready to take up senior positions in the ship. Their optimism is praiseworthy. But is it of any importance?Five years back, we warped straight into what I can only describe as a black-hole pin-ball. One after the other, we kept getting sucked into these black holes and it was ripping the ship apart.Somehow, we managed to get to the other side of this crazy freak-show of nature. Our ship was just about holding itself together.
