The Impatient Me!




The usual restlessness gets into me, if there was a clock inside my head it would have been tick tacking per my imagination or sub conscious mind. I was fiddling with the laptop one moment and switching to the traditional pen and paper I arranged just beside it. To someone watching me doing this, it would be a clear sight of stupidly confused and insignificant situation; but I had a larger battle going inside me which paralyzed my humanly actions momentarily. It is high time now, I had to sit down discussions and clarifications with this erratic vulnerable rebellious character who has been active in creating abstract nuisance ever since… ever since trust and faith left her side. The concern was not how to initiate the conversation for it has been continuance of several bygone tiffs which were rather voluntarily given an abrupt end. The problem was sticking hard with the resolution.  

The level of impatience intensifies and I foolishly look all around the room closely scanning from the wall clock to the family photos stuck on my cupboard, to the murky teddy bear in the corner and then stop at the blatant wall which was as if filming glimpses of my tormented past. I didn’t want to see it yet I did not bat an eyelid, it was no less than hallucinating about your own death in a state of possessed by something unearthly. I hurried and started scribbling some notes realizing there was no time. That was it! It was the moment of truth; the world would end for some if not for all. I close my eyes in an attempt to muster courage for the great sacrifice and also with the fright of what will happen next. Yes, I will be eaten now. Will that hurt? I don’t know, I guess I’ll need to find out.  

Next morning when I open my eyes to find myself rescued from the Gigantic Snake aka Anaconda, I had a good laugh about my great melodramatic dream. Well, I had seen the shadow of a lizard at my window in the darkness of the night and what happened next can successfully title me as the Imaginator.
