He could see a .38’’ Semi automatic hand pistol in front of him, he knew the
damage it could cause if fired. He was looking down the wrong end of the barrel
and heard himself say "Calm down, Calm down", he had no idea if he said the
words out loud or just to himself but the deafening sound of the gun was all he
was sure he heard …
He looked at his watch 8:00 it read in his new analog watch, he had exactly
15 min to get ready and leave. He looked at the city vast and already busy,
everyone in a hurry to get to work some already working. He knew he had time
just for a quick shower. He stepped into the shower felt something moist below
his leg and slipped. There was a sudden pain in his head he felt like he had
cracked his skull.
Its Narcolepsy for sure the doc told him you will be going through spells of
sudden sleep and unpleasant dreams, just try to ignore it. Ignore it he could
not sleep in the night for weeks and was caught napping at his desk more often
than he could remember.
He was still looking at the window at the city it was a bad dream, he
decided to skip the shower and thought of picking breakfast on the way.
He was still drowsy and changed the gear from neutral to 1st and felt his
leg pressing the accelerator. He was heading to work where he was threatened
every day that he would be fired. He stepped out of the car in front of the
hotel to pick up his lunch and heard a screeching noise behind him. He turned
to face a gigantic bus and his head banged the steering of the car ….
He opened his eyes and heard some one say "Move it jack ass, you don’t own
the road". The light was green his car was not in front of the hotel yet. He
made sure the bus went through and got out of the car. The sign in front of the
hotel read
"NO SERVICE TODAY". There was hotel down the road and it was where his
breakfast was being cooked. He walked down the lane every one was busy but he
still did hear a few hellos. He bumped into the lady upstairs, "oh! No" he
thought "this woman has always something to say". Last week it was "To make
your dreams come true. Wake up". She said "Not everyone gets a second chance".
"No hello, Weird" he thought. He could see the hotel and could read the
specials, "Excuse me, can you please help me" a sweet voice requested from
behind. "So close yet so far" he thought. His frown turned to a smile as he
turned and said to the beautiful girl "How can I help you?" "My keys are not
working and I need to get file from inside and a locksmith will be too late, so
if you can break my lock…. You can check with the neighbors I do live here."
"Alright". The door was thick but all it took was 3 painful blows of his
shoulder. The third one was the fatal one breaking open the door and the
momentum pushed him inside, there was an explosion, the open door had let in
fresh oxygen that intensified the fire caused by a cigarette. He felt burned
all over…
"Excuse me, can you please help me" a sweet voice requested from
behind.
