A Dream

NH-6...Long dark roads lay ahead of me like a python. Sometimes straight, sometimes intersecting at some point. "Is this any sort of Snake & Ladder game" I thought. The sky was also dark with no stars...and...where is the moon? Something was wrong somewhere. Roads were lit with dim street lights as if someone has dimned it with a purpose. "Run Srikant...Run", these words kept following me where ever I went. Some kind of invisible force was driving me, pushing hard, through the dark roads. I was terrified, not knowing what the hell lay behind me. I didn't dare to look back as if the dark roads will, at some point, turn into a real python and eat me.

I saw some one following me...I ran hard. I summoned all my strength and dared to look back for once. It was...my shadow. I kept praying to the Almighty to save me, but at that moment everything seemed to be failing. By that time my confidence level had already gone down to the earth. I kept running hard...breathing very fast. As I was running again I saw someone, but this time I was sure that I am not the only one that's running. I saw a figure with set of dark black eyes following me. I could not recognise who he was. OR Whether he is "he" or "she"? I don't know...

Wait...I know him...he is... BEEP BEEP BEEP...

That was the sound of my alarm clock. I jumped on my bed. It took some seconds to realize that, I was dreaming.

Whom did I see in my dream? Whomsoever it may be, I may never know again...!!!
