Praveen Kumar walking down the road on a hot, sunny day i find myself walking alone on a normally busy highway
i look back look right look left nothing at all
normally fierce wind has died down to nothing the sun is shining yet it feels cold
all doors shut tight all narrow lanes barricaded cant go back the way i came cant stay glued to the same spot
arming myself with a stick i slowly take one step at a time shaken by fear i claw my way back to my room
time flew fast thinking about this when i realized the sun has gone down and the darkness of the night is upon us
gathering courage i slowly make my way back to this "lonely" road making my way back to this road i stop at the sight i was witnessing
the deserted road i had seen earlier has now come alive barricaded lanes now teeming with life doors shut tight now witnessing a steady stream of people in and out!
confused and bewildered i stood there perplexed when darkness closed in and slowly engulfed me my questions found the answers i had been looking for!

nice one..
the deserted road i had seen earlier
has now come alive
barricaded lanes
now teeming with life
doors shut tight
now witnessing a steady stream of people
in and out!
confused and bewildered
i stood there perplexed
when darkness closed in
and slowly engulfed me
my questions
found the answers i had been looking for!
those two lines got to me when i read them for the first time:0
