Running from the shadow..

She did not know what was she thinking.. All she knew was that she was lost in a thought and it was not allowing her to sleep.. Tried to push those thoughts aside, she looked at her phone.. No message yet.. Fixed her earphone at the end of her cellphone, stared at her cell phone in a dilemma whether to call or not to call.. She decided to go with the negative thought.. "Not to call" appeared as the better choice.. Stared at her phone's screen again, touched the File folder, which demanded the password.. Once that was provided by her little finger, she started exploring her phone.. The images, the videos, the songs.. She put on the earphones, hit play and turned up the volume until it hurt her ears.. Closed her eyes.. Suddenly the music stopped.. She could hear the crazy wind.. she opened her eyes and found herself standing in the middle of a forest.. She wasn't scared but the thoughts she was trying to push away with the help of loud music, started haunting her again.. She could feel the moonlight on her face.. She was running.. As if running from the thoughts.. From the memories.. Deep in the forest.. There was no halo further.. She guessed this is what she wanted.. To run into the darkness.. Away from the stupid world, away from her memories, away from everything and everyone.. She kept running.. She was surprised because she did not feel tired.. All she wanted to do was go into an unknown direction.. All of a sudden something hit her.. Very hard.. The darkness did not let her notice the giant tree standing there which stopped her from moving further.. She fell on the ground.. It was cold.. Very cold.. She tried to get up but her body had no strength left.. She wanted someone to come and pick her up.. She was thirsty too.. She tried to move her hand and could feel her cell phone.. She struggled to open her eyes and the forest was gone.. She was staring at the ceiling of her bedroom.. "What a Dream !" ,she thought and fell asleep again...

Ok friends, another attempt to write a short story.. I know I am not good at it.. :P :D

Its a great feeling to dream the 'impossible' and later on realize the 'reality' with a smile. Dreams are always colorful and continue to be.. else, whats the fun in dreaming?

Nice one Guddu!

Very innocent story-telling...keep on writing...while publishing any post, the writer being in you should be happy and satisfied...nothing else really matters...
