Nightmare

Today: 13 May 2010

Thursday

8:00 am

In the dark alley while walking alone she is kidnapped by three psychopaths. Somewhere down the lane is her home. Waiting for her are some people.

9:50 am

Time goes by. Absence is felt. Three of them walk outside, in search of her. All three armed, one of them known to her, yet unknown.

On a ship, the night is still young; there she stood with her hands tied to an invisible string. Beads of sweat on her face make her captivators laugh with no grace.

The three barged in with a bang, making one of the three captivator place the gun at her forehead.

The saviours were quicker, shot all but the leader dead. The leader was the one pointing the barrel at her head.

Negotiation should have been tried, reduce darkness from both side. But the leader gave the impression that he has surrendered.

She walked behind, the leader right in front of her. The eldest of the saviour walked backwards, facing the leader, pointing the gun at his chest. The other two walked like a protective circle around her.

The leader showed no movement, the elder relaxed a bit. The leader was waiting for this chance and shot in his chest. The saviours in shock pumped bullets at him. He just turned around and shot his last bullet at her hoping to be fatal.

Something hit her head, she felt no pain. She went into shock as she watched the leader fall on his knees.

Felt something hot on her neck and on her arms. It was red she saw and fell on the ground. The survivors were now by her side calling her name, but she had already lost her sense to the outside world.

She closed her eyes asking, “Is this it?” She waited for the system to shut but she felt only peace. There was darkness, a short fear inside; she could feel life drain little by little as minutes passed by.

There was silence, but it still was “now”. “Shouldn’t I be dead”, she wondered, “but how is it still “now”?”

She had fallen on the ground, with her head cushioned on her arm and now she raised her head and looked around.

The survivors were still around in state of shock, they didn’t know what to do and how to call.

She smiled and placed her hands comfortingly on their shoulders. They should have turned but were indifferent to her presence.

A silent companion she thought she’ll be and sat beside them. She looked in the direction where they stared. One stared at her lover, other to a lovely dame. She walked towards her, found the dame to be herself and finally realized she is already dead.
