The Hatchlings - continued
08.25.07 (8:32 pm) [edit]....As I went out of the gate, I was aware of the night time security looking at me in a quaint way - but I was not worried. Two minutes and six intakes of smoke later, I put down the cigarette. The plan was almost told - I had been listening as a kitten would listen to its parent, only that little kittens are mischeivous after hearing the plan. I put down my phone - the world seemed blank - there were no lights in the vicinity and all I could make out was the distant lights far below. Five feet from me, there was a small altat without any fancy railings that looked almost like a cup pouring water in to bare earth below. I took a few steps to get to its peak and looked down below.
Nothing remarkable about it. Ofcourse, everything is remarkable if you come to think about it - unwanted calls and plans are also remarkable for they are without any purpose. Isn't it remarkable to think that we are always been taught to believe that we every action has a purpose but finally come to one bland call wherein in the aftermath you wonder what in earth the purpose really could be other than wasting two minutes of the network's bandwidth. But yet the scene took me away from all my mind-joggings. I could see vehicles moving below - could never see their colors for all of them were simply faint glimmers that moved. The wind was certainly chilled and it blew across my shoulders hard - real hard. I wouldn't wince - I put my hands inside my trouser pockets and looked cooly at the scenario below. Only that I didn't know what to look at.
In the end turned back and headed to my edifice - not that it was necessary. The plan didn't need it and it was certainly far easier to take care of the most important things first. But I had to - I wanted to feel more at home - more at my dusty office. There was something wrong about where I stood a moment ago - it was so beautiful it was ugly and so very real that it looked fake and it was so very peaceful that I felt fear. Fear has strange ways of calming people - calming all the people as well.
