The Misadventures Of Death

I'm trusted sidekick of Death. This is my viewpoint about Death as a person. I'm associated with Death since aeons ago, even when the concept of time was not initiated and the cosmos was not yet created. Me and Death with few other more powerful beings existed before the primordial time (It's an oxymoron that I'm using Primordial, and time together. You need to understand, I'm into existence since long long time ago, hence those words lost the charm and intensity for me.) Amongst all the life in the whole universe, humans of the Earth are my most favourite creatures. You the human race (as what you call yourselves) is intriguing and sometimes even enigmatic to my boss- The Death. As stated by me earlier I'm keenly fond of humans, so naturally, I acquainted myself with the way of humans. To make analogy easy for you, let me put it this way-- I'm Dr Watson to the Sherlock Holmes(Death). Like Watson use to write about the cases of Holmes, I'm writing...

Grim Instructions

Please follow my leads guardedly, place is a maze. My dear child, be a keen observer, not a casual one. Reach to the big rusty  iron gate, don’t try to climb or unlock it. There is a small wooden door at the left bottom next to iron gate. Enter into the wooden door, be alert and enter the door by pushing it inwards. Take the right turn and follow  the stone path, don’t be scared. Just walk, no sprinting or running, it could wake something or someone awful Avoid your senses, just heed my instructions. Your eyes could lead you into mirage. Your ears could lead you to cacophonous end. Walk the path between the gory obelisks and keep your sight straight. At the end of the path, you’ll find a beautiful castle, don’t enter. Take left and follow the blood-red painted stone path. You will see a standalone green door, knock it twice not more than that. Wait for a minute, breathe normally. A dwarf with snow white beard will open the door, speak no word...

Pondering of Batman

              Batman perched himself on one of the gargoyle on an old museum building. The night was dark befitting the dark knight.  To his amazement the night was of no crime and no bat-light signal in the sky. It seemed that Gotham at last is at peace. Silhouette of Arkham Asylum was visible and for no reason it made Batman shudder and he felt that Arkham is living and breathing malevolent creature. As an vigilante, Batman met many good / evil heroes  and evil/good villains. His long list of foes includes the psychopaths of extreme degree: Poison ivy, Joker, Penguin, Riddler, bane et al. It rarely happens that our caped-crusader, ponders about life and philosophy. But today was a different night or to say night of all the nights. Batman on Gargoyle  His thought moved around from one instance to other in just a fraction of second, each thought overlapping the other. He was muddled into confusion just by sheer intens...

SPEEDING CAR

Adrenaline rushing feeling surfaced upon his whole shacking body, As the engine of his car roared louder than lion, Excitement revved from car to his soul, It seemed to him that he is on journey of awakening, Driver's Will power escalated more than the durability of car's alloy wheel, 5000 cc displacement  coupled with 16 cylinder engine boosted car's speed and his spirit, Speeding car more than 250k/h and drifting perfectly by skilled hands on deadly way, At last science of extra momentum surpassed his proficient driving, Car smashed into peaceful lake and glided on water for few seconds due to pace, Drowned in water that fabulous piece of metal with human body, At last driver is feeling soothing as his morale was peaked, Water in his nostrils didn't made him frightened, Ecstatic to perish along with his red metallic car, Poked by his friend which made him woke, Who was sitting next to him driving a car he was dreaming of.

Journey of a timid

Forbidden graveyard filled with gory obelisks, Walked the fainthearted with just silvery half moon as a guide, Each step towards destination made him shiver, His promise made him tread as vigilante, On land where dead's are buried, Trying to keep foot on track, Closed his eyes and walked in utter darkness, Air was thick and cold was increasing, Inhaling oxygen taking all the might, At last he succeeded and kept his foreboding, Respectfully kept the snook's  ball on grave, Wept for his dog and came back.
