THE DEW DROP ADVENTURE

We're here!Not where we were!

"Never lose hope"
Many of life's failures are people who didn't realise how close they were to SUCCESS when they gave up.

Fine! If he's going to play like this, with us who are just half of what he is in every way, let him. Now,I am done being curious. I let out a sigh once again examining Swepo. I look at them who are doing the same as I was doing just a moment ago.

"Guys,I am going to touch it and check whatever it is." I declare.

"No Sitara! You can't." Riyaz utters.

"But why?" Impatience clear in my tone.

"What if it's something poisonous and harmful? What if something happens to you when you touch it? We're not going to take the blame this society's going to put on us for your irresponsibility and no,we won't care about you if you- you're think- thinking like that. Note it." Tamika stutters at the last part.

I can easily see through her lie. She's clearly worried about me than the society's reactions.

"Okay,let me go for it!" Tamika speaks forgetting her own speech for me.

"Tam, copy and paste your previous dialogue." I remind her of her own speech.

"Okay,let us all test it at once,in that case, none of us would have to worry about the other or take that so called blame," Riyaz suggests like a wise owl.

"Okay,on the count of three," I let them know.

We move forward and bend down to touch that shiny droplet.

"Okay, one...two...two point five...two point nine..."
I try expanding this span of three seconds as that thing seems to be dangerous. Not a common article for sight.

"Sitara! Come on!" Riyaz lets out an exasperated sigh.

"Three. Now!," We touch it. It didn't fall down. Instead, it disappears. What? Yes,disappeared. Abra ka dabra, it vanished.

I'm not joking. It did vanish.

Oh my god! We touched something crazy.

All of a sudden,I feel my body is being pulled towards something just like falling down for Earth's gravity. It pulls me more and more. No more ground beneath my feet. Great!

I try to catch a short glimpse of them but to no avail. But I can hear their shrieks fading away as the seconds pass by. It's thrilling like Doraemon and Nobita's time travel but a lot like squeezing my soma. Nope, not funny.

Adrenaline levels are increasing my heartbeat at a rate of millions per second. It's like someone's hammering my head. But there's no one. What. Is. Happening?

Somewhere I don't know. I find myself in a dark and deserted street. The pitch black darkness around me is threatening me. Sweat drops formed on my forehead are falling down as if I  forgot to turn off a tap. All I can hear is me- my hiccups and my heart's abnormal beating. It is incredibly scary. Where am I?

I turn around to examine the place. There's a flickering floodlight a few steps ahead.

I pace forward to reach it. Again and again repeatedly. My steps are slipping as my feet are unable to attain a stable balance on the ground. My brain is failing to maintain my body's equilibrium. My trials are going into vain. The more I move closer to it the more it moves away from me.
