Unravelling the Life

Eric was resting on the porch after a busy day. It was a calm day in the autumn. Everything was calm but busy for him. He watched the leaves fall off the trees slowly, in his backyard. As the delicate leaves touched the moist ground, a calm gust of wind made the leaves float in the air and landed softly at faraway distances. He sighed and got up from the porch and went inside the house. He got fresh and decided to go outside for a walk. He grabbed his headphones and went outside. Outside, his friend Lucifer was waiting for him. He asked, “ Hey, Eric, what’s up? Haven’t seen you for a while.” “ Oh! What a pleasant surprize! Nothing, just got busy with work. When did you come from Connecticut?” said Eric. Lucifer paused for a moment and said, “ Actually, I had gone there for my mom’s neurosurgery and after she recovered we returned. By the way, it has been a week since we came here, so, I came here to ask you for a walk and maybe we can go to a coffee shop. It’s been a long time, so it would be a great idea to catch up on lot of things.” Eric agreed and went with him.

They caught up on a lot of things which happened in the past. This rejuvenated their minds with hot coffee. In the evening, they walked down several blocks and aisles across the red roses and purple lavenders. It felt like being united with their minds and felt a rush of refreshing confidence filling up. At home, Eric lived with his mom. Their home was filled with antique paintings and statues that were worth a fortune. He lived like royalty and treated his mom like a queen. His mom was Japanese, so their ethics were so pure and Eric was half Japanese and half American. Eric was a businessman and CEO of his own restaurant in UAE. His mother raised him with love, and nurtured him to be a better person for the world. He also ran an animal nurturing centre. He loved his mother too and secured his house for his mother’s security. You might think, “Oh, poor lady, she is struck in her son’s security.” But trust me, she was not confined at home.Actually, she felt safe rather than a bird in a cage. The home was filled with happiness and both of them carried a positive aura, which made the home happy and healthy and wealthy. “Have your food,son” his mother said. “Uhm… the food is ludricious, mom. I’ve never tasted food better than yours, mom. You’re the best. I am so lucky, that I have a mom like you.”Eric hummed with content. Mom smiled and placed another plate of ramen for him. His eyes sparkled and seemed excited to eat it. His life seemed almost filled with joy and happiness. 

The next day came and Eric’s life took a 180 degrees change. This day gave Eric’s life a new beginning of perspective and almost changed everything. He was walking with his friends Lucifer, Mandy, and Carrie. It was a Sunday, was a bit sunny. They decided to go for a long drive, as they met after a long time and kind of felt a thrill of something fun. They hopped on Carrie’s brand-new Ferrari and sped off. The streets were less populated, so they drove the car faster and faster, with the wind hitting their faces and wind humming in their ears, listening to a beautiful song of nature. Until they halted to jault. There was a weird man in a maroon coat and an enchanted stick with his hand. He stood firmly in front of the car with a smirk on his evil face. He said, “ You are not allowed in this area. This is my area.” “We don’t see your name on it. We didn’t come across any board named ‘Weird man’s area’.” They laughed mockingly and got the mickey out of him. He frowned and rotated his wand in the air while saying something with his eyes closed. In a fraction of a second, they were in an enchanted world filled with all the negative things. Eric was standing alone in this field of his life’s battle. An anonymous voice filled up the air and said, “ You have three levels if you pass them, you could free your friends and save your life. If you don’t, you will die in the worst way in the world and your friends will be locked up in the dungeon, forever. The voice travelled down his spine, full of fear. But, he knew, that staying calm in any level of danger could set him free from all the obstacles. He stayed calm, and step a foot ahead and he found himself in a game. He was blindfolded, and four dolls surrounded him. They were going to sing a random song and when they stopped, you were supposed to guess the song and also the time till they stopped. If he didn’t he would die. The flying dolls started to sing and after a while, they stopped. He paused and frowned; the dolls started to count. Before the last second, he answered, “ Rock-182, 34 seconds.” As he said these words, the dolls burst and his blinds unfolded. The second game was about playing real-life snakes and ladder but if they got eaten by the snakes they would never come back. He played the game efficiently and the god’s blessing acted upon and he won. The last game was an Achilles hill to complete, he was given many stairs and at the end, there was a key, if he got it everything would be finally out. He thought, “ What is so hard about this thing? This is a piece of cake.” But, little did he know, the stairs were not simple, they were endless, as he stepped ahead, the farther the key had gone. He was sweating heavily, and was out of breath. The thought of giving up had popped into his mind, but his mind refused to. He stopped for some while, while panting continuously. Just then he saw a water body, which was not there before the game started. He slowly climbed down the stairs and came across the water body. There, he saw the reflection of the stairs and the key. He touched the reflection key in the water, and to his surprise, a miracle happened the key came into his hands. He was overjoyed and feeling the vibe of vibrant energy. The negative aura disappeared, and everything became normal. His friends were standing across from him, hugging him tight with happiness. 

He understood that keeping his calm and not giving up were his best guides towards success. He understood, perhaps, the negative aura, there would be many obstacles ahead but keeping these superpowers with him, would get the best out of me and happiness and wealth would knock his door and surround him forever. He hugged them back, hopped in the car and drove away, carrying all the superpowers he had encountered before under many circumstances and even happy memories and living life with a new perspective towards it.
