Foot Prints

“The native emotions of fear and sorrow engulfed him as the uncanny thoughts of an unfamiliar life ahead passed through his subconscious mind”.

feetHe kept his pen down after writing the sentence not knowing where to go from there. He lit his cigarette, pushed back his chair and took his legs up on to the table. He kept one leg over the other making a viewable V through which he could see the only photo frame that adorned the wall on the far end.

He and Jasmine had been on a boating trip about five years ago. She had insisted that they take a picture together; the only one as far as he remembers during their year long relationship. He slowly trimmed down the viewable area to have Jasmine’s face alone visible between his feet.  He felt she looked older than him; and that might have been a fact as he was in the best of his shape with a regular gym regime and diet.

The Dampness in the Room had a tricky smell
The color of the curtains still bore faint rays of the evening sun
Time has stopped but the clock needles struggled to click
The fireplace still active, engulfed the remaining pieces of wood

Brutality slept chained in a corner and snored
Monalisa hung hidden behind the cupboard wall
The kettle stopped whistling when the last drop vanished
The footsteps neared and the door knob moved

The grip tightened and the breathing slowed
The slight creak of the door and the gunshot followed
Silenced with no words, no history and no future to see
The next day time revived and removed the last visible stains of blood

No one even noticed the chained brutality for it had disappeared into the darkness, before time could catch up to it.
