I stared at … the clouded sky walking on clammy clay, silly hope is leading me out with freezing tears and chills, walking with hunger & misery steps, I laid to a tree has no fruit or leaves, sprawling garden with no flowers or bees, as long as I have hope but the hope itself is being consumed, I’ve been lost for so long until I lost my feeling of time, all I can feel is darkness and cold, I don’t know how am I still awake for that long, my knees and feet start getting weaker and weaker until my whole body associated to weakness, I set beneath a tree, I closed my eyes for a few seconds to recover my will, and opened them quickly because of a pain, I looked flashy at my hand I found a black cat biting me and trying to pull me, I felt that I slept more than few seconds, but it doesn’t matter how long, I got a sign of hope, there’s a living creature on this earth, I looked at the cat and touched its hair, but as soon as I touched it, it started to walk away, I followed it as it’s my only hope, sometimes I lose its trace but as soon as it comes back, I start walking and following it again, until we reached a cemetery with opened graves and closed graves with gravestones, and my curiosity pushed me to go closer to the gravestones to read it, I looked at gravestones trying to read a name or a date, but I found it blank with no name… no date.
Suddenly I heard a loud strange voice “these tombs for pessimists, who has no hope & try hard to let you lose yours”
I turned back in shock and my words won’t come out, I found an old man with a lamp I couldn’t see his face clearly but he looks familiar to me, I started looking directly into his eyes, is it my end, is he going to kill me, but I felt that time with a strange feeling that this man will save me, he looked at me and said “don’t you know me yet? You don’t know me as I knew you, I was monitoring you all this long, I found out how much will and hope you have, all this bitter of clod, hunger and fatigue didn’t impair your will to stay alive”
I looked at him and my mouth full of words & wonders and said “you’ve been watching me all that long and you didn’t think of giving me a hand?”
But he smiled and said “I came to you when you waive your human instinct”
That time I didn’t realize what he meant, then he get closer to me and put his hand on my shoulder, that moment I saw his face clearly, he didn’t seem like a murder or a killer, his eyes and smile didn’t say that, I felt somehow with satisfaction to him.
He said: “it’s so soon to leave now but I see you’re wet, tired, cold & hungry, trust in me, put all your trust in me ….. follow me …..”
