The Ending and the Beginning (Snapshot)

atrakasya's picture

Blindly, relentlessly, he had been striving.
And finally his destiny was near, and he faltered…

For, to go unto his destiny was to lose his own existence.

Come! I have awaited you long. Fulfill me! His destiny beckoned him eagerly.

“What shall become of me?” He demanded.

How would you know unless you come to me?

“I do not wish to end!” He lay bare his fear.

To end is the only way to continue. Come… she whispered.

His resistance melted and he rushed into the unknown wildly.
And in merging with the ovum, his existence ended, and life began.

milaa de khaakh mein hasti gar martaba chaahey,

Guys, thank you for your appreciation. Like I said, I am really enjoying writing these tiny snapshots - its great fun!


Good one @ Atraa

You are setting progressively high standards for yourself. Liked the way you conceptualized this abstract (??) subject matter & turned it into a tale. Good one.
