God In Us

The Journey

I opened my eyes and came back to reality,came back to the hell on this earth.The sun is rising and seems it has only been six thirty or seven.

I thought to myself,if I'm to live,I need to find a way,I need to find shelter,and food,and above all I must travel,I must travel to know whether there are any lost souls like me left in this world and to find the reason behind all this.

"Oh how pity!!",I exclaimed looking at my body,because it was only then I realized that I was naked.Yes,I need to find clothing too.

I stood up and took a deep breath,oh my god,how awful,I didn't know dead bodies were this good to smell.I made up my mind and told myself that the first thing  I should do is to get away from this insane place.

I moved amidst the bodies that had just begun rotting.I suddenly halted.Again some thoughts started filling my mind,I don't know whether I voluntarily thought those.Something from within started telling me that I shouldn't leave here like this,I must give these bodies at least a nice farewell!I must burn them.

Being bought up by a Hindu mother and a Baptist father,I had lessons in both.But the instinct now told me that I should burn these bodies,just like the Hindus did.

I was in no mood to question the thought I had in mind,about burning the bodies,but the only thing for me was that it seemed like the stupidest thing to even think that I could alone burn the thousands of dead bodies that surround me.

"Look at the ants,see how much they carry on their back,they fail a thousand times but the one thousand oneth time they win.They are not at all afraid of failing,they know only then they could win one day", I heard these words,from inside,but it was as if someone was whispering it in my ears,yet only there wasn't anyone.

Yes,I must burn these bodies,after all it's the only thing that I could do for my brothers,for the innocent children and mothers .So I decided,I will do this,no matter how much time it takes,I got plenty of that,no matter how tired I get,well I'm better than the ants....I will do it.
I started right away,I found a spot where the bodies will be burned,and started gathering all of them.

*. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *. *.

I burned the bodies by evening,I am too tired,but I cannot rest.I will be starting my journey tomorrow,don't know how much I'll have to travel,don't know whether I'll complete this journey,but I have to do this,I need to know why this happened,I need to find the God responsible for this,and make him pay for my loss.

I was lucky enough to find clothing and many more things from my dead brothers.I had found a compass which will be the most necessary item I need for my travel.

I won't be able to feed on my brothers today,and this place is a barren land.So I started my journey right away,hoping I will find something to eat soon,I haven't eaten anything today and I'm so hungry.But,in which direction I should travel?Where will I end up?

The compass needle points north all the time,and since I had little options,I started travelling north.

*.   *.   *.   *.   *.    *.   *.    *.    *.     *.     *.   *

I walked and I ran.Among the things I found from the bodies there was a watch and it has only been one hour since I had began my journey.

"Isn't that a meadow?",I exclaimed to myself,not being able to believe what my eyes saw.

I saw the greenery and was overwhelmed by hope and happiness,happiness because I'll be able to calm my appetite,hope for finding someone alive here in this paradise.

I ran towards the river I saw among the hundreds of palms and drank the elixir of life, water .And when I quenched my thirst I went over to  the date palms and satisfied my appetite.
I know I have a greater thing  to do right now...I gotta search this entire meadow to find if there are any lost souls like me here.So I started .....

*.       *.       *.       *.       *.       *.       *.       *
 

All my efforts in searching has been in vain .I couldn't even find a trace of a human being in this meadow.But my searching has left me with a thought.....

I need to find a way to record the time lapsed.I don't have the slightest idea about the month,nevertheless the year.So everything must be started from the very beginning......A new epoch must begin.An epoch that marks the destruction of the mankind.
It's the second day of my new life.I'm glad that I was able to find a book from the leftovers in this meadow.So I marked the second day of this new era.
I wrote down
"1-1-1.         2-1-1."
