ok..so this was naturally the next stop for the train i was boarding...
..the train went through a tunnel of darkness and stopped abruptly at an unknown place. i took this chance n alighted to see the misty woods, place where i could hide, never to be found. i was running from the singular 'i'. the air was fogged with some chemical as i felt delirious in first few steps. visibility was hardly there in the uniform twilight darkness. but one could tell for sure ,soon it was going to be either day or night . and those bright eyes blinking in the bushes ahead looked innocent, inviting. the grass was soft wet with dew, it caressed my soles, ticklish to bits...i kept walking.... .. but all my attention was fixed on whispering voices coming through woods. in mind i thought 'its just wind playing with the leaves..'. .. . voices got louder with each step and so in my neck muscles, i felt increasing traction which kept my head lil bent, constantly watching the ground a few steps in front of me.. i tried to move it sideways but my shoulders rotated instead... at that moment if i had left my whole body loose, i'd be hanging by my head only....
.. ..at the entry point two tall huge trees bent to make a gateway..moment i stepped in all the traction was gone, i sprang abt 2 feet in the air..there was no fog, good illumination all around..i looked back and it was a beautiful sight of hills n river..like some screen was put on that gateway..i felt 10 times lighter, i tried to walk but i was jumping instead. from tree to tree, from branch to branch. there were fountains making awesome arrays of waterjets, they all danced to a music i couldn't hear. food was everywhere, hanging by the trees, beds there also hung on trees..nobody looked at me like a tresspasser...i made myself full n tried to catch some sleep..i couldn't..i climbed down on the road..instead of jumping i ran straight, with 10 feet in a stride i was competing with the wind. my heart didn't race, my breathe wasn't filled. for 1, 2, 3....10 hrs i just ran n i wasn't tired at all.
i stopped cause i saw a lake serene n still..a mermaid played harp by its side..she saw me n jumped in the pool..i went after her..deep at the bottom she lived in a palace guarded by crab soldiers riding on sea-horses. her name was ariel. i returned while she came by the window , gave me a stranger look. i decided to make a stay by the lake-side. apple trees bore sweet fruits there. for many days there was no sign of her. i moved on to the hill range. it was home to zillion kind of birds n their nests. once they grew up they flew away never to return, to find their home in some other hill range. their communicative chirping had energy n zeal..watching them was a joy. i sat there waiting for my turn to fly..
p.s.- i wrote whatever cause i couldn't decide a topic. excuse for the pointless blabber.
