Inspired by : Struck by Guilt.
” Who knows what lies underneath the Belly of the Universe , ask them who survived the fire and rose from Ashes to accomplish an ungodly desire…once seen at the verge of demise but rose to Return….’
Sameer was pacing in the hospital corridor, hit by the waves of Anxiety, guilt gathered around his being like algae in a dirty pond of still water and his hopes were like dead fishes …Dead.
He knew he was responsible…. he was the reason for the storm that struck Jacobs life, he was the reason Penny went beserk and destroyed 1653 beyond repair… He was not only a murderer but a coward …..if only he had owned up …..it was him who had tampered with 1653 ….
Today if Jacob died …Sameer would never forgive himself….. He sat down against the wall and cried hard … Memories of the last conversation between Penny and Dan came flooding back like a tsunami that didn’t want to end….. Sameer went numb as that moment came to life once again with full force…….
The two ghosts stared at Jacob as he lay unconscious , machines beeping around him,
outside the weather was cloudy, there was a sense of fear in the Air…. ” Will he make it? The younger ghost asked ….” I hope so… After witnessing the destruction of 1653…Only a miracle can help ” the older ghost sighed …
The younger one wasn’t satisfied and prompt further….’ Is Penny Normal? I mean that level of jealousy over a Robot that she and Jacob created together…doesn’t make sense to me ..how could she destroy it, what was she thinking?” 15 years of hard work all gone in a jiffy … Humans are weird ain’t they? I wonder why ghosts are feared when humans are more dangerous” …..
The older ghost looked at her younger counterpart amused …” Ummh … ” Was all she said… Secretly she also wondered ….why did people fear ghosts?
