My Story-Chapter 1

The call!!

Its 2:00 am and it’s been weeks since I’ve slept in this time of night. My terrace has got a plush garden with a few benches here and there. Thanks to the apartment maintenance people. Am getting used to stare at the stars and the unlit buildings…. It’s been my night duty in the recent weeks.

            Everything was normal with me a month ago, but lately things began to change. It all started with a dream, never understood if it’s a dream or a vision. Or let me say it’s beyond my comprehension. A night…… a night that changed everything… and after that night strange things started happening around the world. I still remember my first dream and the things happened that night.

 

 Dream-1 and that night:                        

               That night I’ve been to a movie with Deepika, my girl. Movie is never interesting when she is around, coz she is the only interesting thing. Such dark place, with the coolness from the conditioner takes us to a different mood, and the romance starts.

            So after the tiring movie experience, I dropped her miles away from her house, took a beer, got to my flat and hit the bed. The dream starts by me running on a bridge, people chasing me, I keep running and running  and suddenly stop running seeing some more people coming from the other side too. They did look like normal people but something was strange with them. Then maybe I was scared of being, I jumped from the bridge into the water, I didn’t even get in contact with the water, I startled and got up.

           It may not seem scary to you but the dark ambience with no moon or stars which means no light and the eyes of the people chasing me red in colour and 100 to 200 of them carrying weapons in hand seem scary to me. One thing I didn’t understand is if they want me dead, with the weapons they had in hand it was pretty easy for them to see me dead coz they can just kill me in one shot. If they don’t want me dead then why the hell am I running from them?

          I got off my bed, washed my sweaty face, gulped in some beer and hit my bed. Couldn’t sleep after that dream, my mind started its stupid analysations. That dream wasn’t that strange rite! Nope not even for me. Dreams have always been that way, especially for me. I thought maybe t’was because of the movie, maybe its haunting me for not watching it properly. But how could I, my angel was looking so hot that neither could I take my eyes nor my hands off her.

           Slowly I dozed off coz I’m a professional at dozing off. Had to get up at 7:00am as I had to go to work by 9:00am.

           I already told you that things around the world started changing from that night. The news that day morning showed a strange thing. An island near the west coast of U.S has been lost from the radar and the government is worried as every aircraft and ship that’s going anywhere near the island are going missing too. They showed pics of the island, it is actually one of the group of islands present there each connected with bridges to the other one. The bridge that connects this island from the others is the same one, I ran and jumped from in my dream. Now don’t tell this isn’t strange.

  

           I was so damn glued to the news that when I got my mind outta it, I had 10 messages and 7 missed calls from dipps, 2 missed calls from Viren (my best friend) and three from some idiots from my work place. Called back all of them, got ready and head to work. That was when my actually faded and confused life turned even more confusing.

Present (chapter time):

                                       It’s been about a month since I’ve got my first dream and till date my dream count is 23 and my dreams were never this strange. They got even scarier every night.

           I got outta my dream analyzing and got back to my star alighting. I got a call, number isn’t being shown on my mob. I lifted the call much outta interest on who’s calling me at this point of time. I picked and said hello and the person spoke,

“Sorry no time for instructions, pack your bags and move outta your flat. There’s a car waiting for you with keys inside. Follow the GPS and it will take you where you need to come.”

           Saying this, the person cut the call and I a bit confused called up Viren thinking maybe he was playing pranks on me, but when the call got picked up it was the same person again and said, “stop wailing around. Now move!”
