Dark night
glimpse of light
now and then
freezing temperature
numb fingers
shivering lips
My car gave a break down
tire blast
Oh! my devil
What I am I suppose to do now?
I turned around to see
If there is someone to help me out
I see nothing but dogs
cruel dark black red
Red is the color of its teeth
I fancy it just killed its prey
it is that blood made its teeth red
bow-wow, howl it started barking
the sounds are very wild
my ears couldn't bare them anymore
I closed my eyes
I closed my ears
and,
screamed like a dog
I wonder that
it would have imagined
that
a dog more stronger
a dog more longer
than he
has come to attack it
it feared and went away
Okay, the dog went away
but,
not my problem
I walked a mile
to see if there is any mechanic
Pray save aside for mechanic
I dont even find a home
atleast a hut
you are over man
I thought
no buddy you are not
lets walk a bit more
It would be an bad idea
sleeping in the car till dawn
this time if a lion comes
I am going to be its prey
I walked a little more
little more, little more
little more, little more
Far away I have
seen fire
at first i thought some
kind of black of witch craft or
black magic is being performed
when I walked a little more
towards it............
I tapped on his shoulder
he sprang in air
who? who are you?
asked he in a trembling voice
I am no evil said I and smiled
My car got a break down
do you have any idea of
any mechanic or mechanic shed nearby?
He smiled and said 'I am a
mechanical engineer'
Oh! god good
Soon we are at out car
he examined the car for a minute
and determined in his work
went under the car did something
which my poor mind couldn't grab
within 15min he was
out from underground
I mean under car
'start the car' he said
and
want away
without even waiting or
checking himself whether
the work was right or not
I jumped in my car and
started the engine
magically it started
wooh! wooh! wooh!
smoke emitted out of the car
like its been starving since months
I stamped on the accelerator
within no time I was on highway
I could see roads lights people
A deep sigh of relief
I reached home
My body was here
but,
My mind was with this
Mechanical engineer
who is in his less than twenties
who have a sheer confidence within him
within his work
who dont give a damn to check whether
Right or Wrong
I leaned on my pillow
I went to sleep..............
