Ouch. My head hurts. What the hell is this place. There is no light but strangely I can see some kind of strange dim light acting like a border differentiating the sea and the air? What is this I pondered. Half of my body is submerged in this strange water in which my own reflection cannot be seen. I am surely dead. So if I am right this might be the path to heaven. Hehehehahaha I shouted in joy, finally I might really be able to bask in warm sunlight and enjoy eternal bliss. It's kinda was a lame life but who cares it really feels like some famous quote. To live a live free of hardship you have to go through hardship or something similar. I am all set now you can pick me up anytime you know I am not impatient so don't worry about it too much. Hey aren't I supposed to reach somewhere why am I alone in God knows where. A lot of time had seemed to pass yet nobody not even a sound was heard only the echo of my loud, cracked and dry voice seemed to vibrate through the space that was infinite. Somebody please come I don't care if it's heaven or hell just somebody just stand beside me. Drip, drip the salty tears seemed to mix with the water and another set of thought flushed into my mind. Keeping it all aside I desperately tried calling for help but the tears couldn't stop flowing. Please.... anybody .... somebody....Help. cough cough h.. cough cough no voice seemed to come out of my throat. I felt even more helpless than when I fought the manticore and wished to hear that mysterious voice. It was all but a fantasy. At one point of time when you accept reality is when you start trying to survive. With nothing but myself in the darkness saying lame jokes and laughing at it myself I was able to keep sanity.
It felt truly like a never-ending tunnel so very dark and gloomy but maybe the hope of reaching somewhere was the drive that kept me going. Months or maybe years have passed in this world but it might be only a fleeting moment in another and that's when I started meditating. It was a great exercise. You yourself start becoming conscious of your very own soul and slowly becomes one with the universe.
