TELL TALE

SYMPHONY OF MY SOUL

I live in a world that has forgotten music .

Fifty years ago, the most powerful superhero families in the world put forward certain proposals before the ' World Council' that they claimed would make the planet easier to protect . Among the various proposals the Council adopted, one was to declare 'Music' as a dangerous weapon, that caused disorder among the people and made them more vulnerable to attacks . They ruled that music of all kinds was to wiped off of the face of the earth. And that, is how music was forgotten ....until now .

I live in a world plagued by battle, death, fear and uncertainty . This world has been at battle with itself for almost three years now, with all the powerful families , the Campbells, Winchesters, Singers, all bent on destroying each other to grab power.

Everywhere I look, dead eyes stare back at me .....eyes that have forgotten how the light shines .

But , when I look at the mirror , I see eyes that seem to reflect light ....eyes that can still dream . It's not that my life has always been perfect . I have seen darkness so profound that I forgot there was light at the end of the tunnel that seemed to stretch on endlessly .  

I spent days gasping, trying to break through the black surface that flooded my mind . It didn't help that my parents hated me either . To them, I was just not that perfect child they had hoped for .

The person who grabbed my hand and pulled me out was Jack .

He was human, just like me . But unlike me, he didn't think of himself as a disappointment . He raised me up slowly . He was the first person I'd known who loved me .

 I had always been terrified of breaking rules .

Jack told me music was worth it . I believed him and he showed me a new world, a world filed with the magical symphony of sounds . 

Music was my second love, after Jack .

  Jack showed me things about myself, I didn't even know existed . He made me discover laughter , kindness and all good things in the world . Where people see rubble, Jack saw the beauty that grew within .

But then again, it was too good to last .

We knew what we were doing was contrary to law . Singing of any kind was against the rules , sooner or later we were sure to be caught .

But, that day seemed to come too soon .

 Jack made time for me to escape . I ran out of the town, my tears lost in the wind . I walked around aimlessly for days . I felt empty, lost .

Why did you leave me Jack ? 

During my aimless wanderings , I came across a town, or the remains of a town . All I saw around me was rubble . I saw people crying , small kids staring at the fall that had killed their parents ....all their eyes empty . I made my way towards the centre of the gathering .

What I was about to do was dangerous but I had to do something .

I start to sing .

Jack there's so much you taught me .

At first I see confusion on people's faces .Then apprehension .

You taught me that I didn't have to be a superhero to do something good for this world . I hope you know , you were 'My Hero' Jack .

The song I sing was one of Jack's favourites . Tears roll down my cheeks . People walk slowly towards me now . Their expressions have shifted to that of surprise . Some of the older people are crying softly .

I'm giving them what you gave me Jack . I'm giving them hope . I'm giving them the power to dream . 

I look as more people gather around me . There's something that's changed in their eyes . I see a new light forming now . I see hope . I look up at the sky and smile .

Thank you Jack .
