Tragedy of
Wanderer:
And suddenly
he felt them coming all at once, for which he wasn't ready and it was not that
he did not want it, he dreamt of it but now at its real sight, it scared him
more than anything. He found words all over his body, burying him below,
suffocating his breath, blocking his nerves, sucking his blood out of tensed veins.
He felt the air getting heavier around, he was losing sight of everything. He took
out his glasses, wiped it couple of times, placed it back upon his eyes but
alas! It was all getting blurred so fast, damn not because he could not see
them, but because they were too many to see anything through them. His eyes
started feeling the pain hard, he got to do something fast, but what, he could
not think of. Drink! Drink! A voice came, but who was it, never-mind, he opened
the bottle gulped down mouthful of that bitter fluid. Boom! He had been kind of
bulldozed off his body and thrown in a dark corner of his own shadow, where he
saw nothing but darkness beneath his Skeleton being licked by source of millions
of ant like words, poisonous and thirsty. He offered them his bottle; they
laughed and filled their glass with his blood, Smell of his own blood started
making him high. He started losing grip off his glass slowly, Being cursed!
