I don't know who guided me
To such a distance to meet you sole
Still I believe some unknown Web
Binds us together in this birth!

"Can you see me?" You say with your weak voice trying to escape your throat.

The person before you nods his head and takes a wombly step towards you.

"Can you?" He says and you nod as well.

"Oh, thanks the heaven" He sighs and runs his hand through his hair.

He is all white, but with lots of dark patches surrounding him. You examine his features that are void of any colours or depth.

But there is a little something to him that you can't put a finger to.

"Where are we?" You ask him as you keep rooted to the place where you were standing.

Maybe even now you were in a nightmare and maybe he was the reason behind it.

"Downtown Manhattan" He says and looks around. You follow his gaze as well and then settle them onto the floor.

"We ain't at Manhattan. This isn't Manhattan" You barely whisper.
Your head hangs low as you feel a new onset of tears escaping.

But you try hard not to cry in front of a stranger.

"Its a dream. A really bad one" You say and you notice how he takes a step or two towards you.

"If it were then why am I here?" He sighs and you notice how he is scared just as much as you are.

"There is something terribly wrong. I can't see....I mean, ummm...I can't see colours" You say the one thing you were so worried about but move your head away, twisting your neck in different directions to look at the sky, the grass and the trees.

The colours were surely gone, there wasn't even a single patch of it.

"Neither can I" He startles you as his voice seems to be right above your head.

"When I woke up, I couldn't see the colours, and I was so freaked out but there was this woman. She gave me this and said that I will figure everything out soon" He holds out his hand and you turn back and look at the object placed on them.

It's a piece of small brick; brick like object and there are several markings on it.

You unconsciously move your hand to touch it but take it back as you remember the burning sensation that flares up whenever you touch.

"What do you think it is?" You look up at his confused facial expression.

"I don't know" He whispers and you control the urge to cry out for help.
