The Hour Of Midnight.

The Three Sisters of Fate

There are many theories as to what happens to us after the expiration of our life contract. But my experience was like that of a drifter whose reality compass wasn't quite pointing in the right direction. After what felt like eternity or maybe just 2 minuites, I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, quite literally.

The white light that began faint was getting bigger and brighter. Eventually I was in a very bright white place where the space was vacuum cleaned of any matter or sound. I'll admit that I was a tad disappointed to not see Morgan Freeman in his pristine white suit and british accent. When my vision started to get fuzzy and woolly.

It felt like my eyes were bound by frilly lacy curtain and I was looking at everything through them. And suddenly everything became crystal clear and lively and purple as if the offending piece of material was snipped off from my eyes. I followed the purple pointers which I assumed was leading me to wherever.

I started to hear vague music sound coming from the door that simply appeared out of nowhere. I was hesitant to open the door since I had a feeling that something bad or at least unpleasant would happen to me after I unlock the door.

But since I had nothing better to do, I took my chance and made up my mind to pull this off ,when the door was opened by itself with creaking sound. My hand which was half raised to open the door shook and I was ready to bolt after watching the spectacle that I have only seen happen in every Netflix horror movie.

But after a second that thought came to my mind, I felt a sudden tugging in my centre of gravity. It was slightly distinct at first but then my whole body started to feel the pressure like I was enveloped in a tornado and being sucked right into the eye of the storm both figuratively and literally.

When I could stand on my feet without feeling like a bambi , I lifted my eyes to see three women siting side by side in ancient Greek costumes in front of me. The way they were all closely scrutinizing me with one eye made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. 'Wait one eye...Yea I don't want my train of thought to go down that way otherwise I'll lose the little bit of sanity I posses.'

The women on the right side opened her mouth and asked me without moving her lips, "What are you doing here mortal. " I slowly blinked my eyes, once, twice at the black hole and opened and closed my mouth a few times and finally "Umm.. I died."
Now the women sitting in the center opened her mouth and I saw a teeth,she shouted at me "Impossible, you can not be dead now. "

And then I heard a high pitched laugh that eerily reminded me of an insect emitting a piercing sound. It was from the lady to the left. She had only one eye.
"Shut up,Clotho! ", shouted the one in the middle. The lady to her right side turned around and started to curse at the middle one, " This must be your mistake, Atropos. " To reply in kind, the middle lady started to threaten her with what seemed to be Scissors. 'Where did that come from'. All the while the left side lady cackled away as if she was witnessing the biggest joke of the millennia. "Stop putting your faults on my skull, Lahkesis. " Atropos , the lady with the scissors shouted. And lahkesis, the rightside's lady shouted back " Cutting off the thread is your job, Atropos. "

"Yes, But I only cut the thread by the length you give me." Lady Atropos started to look like she was going to tear her hair apart with her scissors." As you should, but I did not give you my blessing to go ahead and cut it out. "
Lady Lahkesis replied in a snobbish tone. " But I don't have the eye to see. " Lady Atropos exclaimed in anger. " Well, it's hardly my fault, isn't it! "Lady Lahkesis replied. Lady Atropos shouted out triumphantly, "Then it is hardly mine either! "

And that put a stop to the shouting match and I watched as they made sound of realization as they finally realized who the culprit was , in union they shouted out,
"Clotho! "And Lady Clotho was still cackling away.

I couldn't stand this shit show anymore so I angrily asked , "Well, if you guys are done with the blaming game. Can we come back to the point where I was not supposed to die! "

They all calmed down and looked at me like they just realized I was still standing there. This revelation seemed to fluster them and they started to murmur among themselves. After what seemed to be a very heated discussion, they ultimately made a decision.

Once again all three turned my way and uttered the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life and death. "Each one of us will fulfill one wish of yours mortal as reimbursement for you losing your life. So choose wisely. "

I was looking at them dumbfounded . These omnipotent beings really wants to make it up to me instead of just brushing the whole thing under a rug. 'I guess they do have some conscience, I suppose. ' While thinking about this I missed the wide grins they were wearing on their face.

" Alright. My first wish is to be reborn in the harry Potter World as a witch , "I asked. They hurriedly nodded their heads. " My second wish is to have all my memories from my previous life flawlessly intact on my mind. " I saw them smile at me in a grandmotherly way after I asked my next wish.With a sense of foreboding, I realized the blunder that I've made for myself. I won't remember meeting them if I would only remember the memories from my previous life. Since I met them only in my afterlife.

I gritted my teeth and slowly asked for my last and final wish, " Make sure my parents are well taken care of and live the rest of their life peacefully."

As soon as I finished asking my three wishes, the three sisters of fate, embodiments of destiny, started to glow ominously and each summoned their favored tools. Lady Atropos with her scissors, Lady Lahkesis with her long thread line and Last but not the least Lady Clothio with her loom.

As Lady clothio started to spin the loom, the threads of fate started to appear and Lady Lahkesis weaved the thread through her way and finally Lady Atropos cut the thread, ending of life. A new beginning....

"And So Mote It Be... "
