Times of darkness...


He was standing near an open window. He dint know where he was or how he had reached there. He started panicking because it started getting dark and cold outside and he had to struggle to see anything beyond his own hand on the windowpane. And slowly the darkness started creeping in, but to his astonishment he could hear more acutely than ever. He could smell something strange in the air like nothing he had smelt before. It’s not a great odour he thought (but realized it was growing on him and he dint mind it that much now). He heard a sound….. it was like an echo of wind dashing through the clouds, rushing past the mountains and making their way in and out of the trees to reach this strange place where light was scarce but the darkness was not scary. It was rather peaceful (a little uncomfortable to adjust to in the beginning) and the colour of night was invading all his senses. He felt like he had been shoved into a place where everything was black with a shadowy milieu.
How much ever he tried he couldn’t see where he was…. It was like his eyes had lost the power of sight leaving him no choice but to depend on his sense of smell, touch and hearing. He started moving in the opposite direction (because he had to get out of this place before he became too comfortable in this surrounding) and hoped he would get out of where ever it was that he was stuck. Everything he touched felt rough and prickly like it had gone through ages and ages of weathering but still it somehow felt familiar like he had been here just yesterday. As he starting moving forward he felt someone tap on his shoulder. He went still and all he could hear was his own heart pounding. But he was suddenly filled with a smell which felt something like wildflowers near waterfalls, it was gentle and refreshing. He was still wondering about the familiarity of the scent, when without any warning a soft hand (as soft as silk) slid into his. He could feel her breath on his face as she whispered something in his ear. He dint know what she had said but still it made him smile. He was about ask her……

   Shit he was day dreaming again!!!
