The shape-shifting black sparrow

There was a black sparrow perched atop a building a couple of miles away. It looked as big as my palm. No, the black sparrow was not a giant one. It seemed no matter from how far you look at it, it would always appear the size of one's palm. Clearly, the black sparrow was a being capable of traversing in many dimensions and the known laws of time and space didn't apply to it.

I watched from afar as the black sparrow flew down to attack or perhaps try to eat the alley cat near my house. The cat crouched in fear as the black sparrow now turned into a menacing and even bigger black turkey. Now, I could only see the flagrant behind of the black turkey but after sometime when the black turkey turned, the cat was gone.

As the black turkey turned, it saw me witness the ghastly event and started to give chase. I ran and ran, as I have never been able to do in real life, but how do you outrun a creature of multiple dimensions? Just as I was beginning to lose the race, some lavender beings shaped like angels carried me to the white court in the clouds.

Everything was white and fluffy as far as the eyes could see. The lavender angels gently placed me on a cloud and huddled in their group on the right. On the left, similar angels but in sky blue were grouped and waiting for the judge to arrive. One white angel was near the fluffy white judge's chair. Following me, the black turkey, now turned into a black angel, arrived giving everyone looks of grave malice.

It was not just me who was in danger from the black angel. All the others seemed to fear it too, except the white angel who just seemed very calm. However, being in the cloud court gave me and the others some comfort in the hope that justice will be done.

What was taking the judge so long anyway? I didn't even know who could be presiding over such matters. The black angel saw its chance to remove traces of at least a few of its crimes until the judge came. It couldn't move the lavender or sky blue angels, there were too many of them. That only left me. With an ominous grin, the black angel- the only one capable of travelling in multi dimensions as it turns out, pushed me down through the gap in the clouds.

The Protest

Image
Our college was broke. The insofar strict professors and dean had to turn amiable for potential investors. They were trying to raise money by selling some of the artworks of famous ex-students and artists. The exhibition was going splendidly with some students giving a brief presentation before each artwork was brought out. Photo Credits: http://www.thepeakoftreschic.com/2012/03/artwork-to-adore.html The dean, satisfied at seeing the investors happy faces, wiped the sweat off his brow. He could use a break, he thought and retired to his office. His moments of peace were short lived. A frantic professor called the dean, "You better come down. The students are going berserk." "What on Earth!" he mumbled and walked as fast as his hefty legs could carry him. A group had taken the stage and completely derailed the presentation by steering it to graphic descriptions of what they thought the artwork meant. Investors were walking away and the dean fumbled and scrambled to g...

Old to Young!

We almost always see ourselves as we are in our dreams. Albeit donning different costumes, behaving strangely or seldom mimicking the likes of somebody else. I saw myself as an inanimate object (was it inanimate, I wonder!). Like most of my dreams, this also takes place in outer space. Maybe I am reading too many NASA articles. I was a part of larger nebula far far away in the vast infinites. Like me too, there were other parts of the nebula who could talk among ourselves. I was a part of the genesis of our universe!! Could you believe it? So the punchline being said, this is how it went about… The part of the nebula that was to be the ‘Sun’ gathered us around and said- “Look, we are going to form a galaxy. You guys are a part of it. This will form 700 light years away. First we need to break away from here and travel 670 light years, then I would break away and form the sun 30 more light years away. Let me go down and see how the surroundings are. I will signal if all is...

Apology for a past life

Image
Before I continue with my day, diving into the typical charts and graphs and dry meetings, I would like to get a nagging feeling off my chest. Reincarnation was an interesting concept at best for me. And I paid it the same amount of heed, I would to teleportation. While I would cautiously describe myself as a spiritual person, I am generally agnostic. I was a powerful lord. One that was sadistic and ruthless. I had a list of sins that the devil would envy and God would be horrified at. Maybe I was Atilla the Hun or Genghis Khan. Although, neither of those explain my other traumas. I know now that this life is the one where I am forced to repent and serve my sentence. What may have warranted this cycle of misery? I often asked myself this question. It felt a tad overdone for petty crimes. A very graphic answer awaited in my dream, nay nightmare. Most times, the general populace wouldn't feel or understand the true purity of love. We all like the abstract notions in art and poetry bu...
