Walking through the graves of people….. I was so tired… I just wanted to sit somewhere….. there was a grave with marbles on it and I sat there in a lying position…. the world here was so different….. so many humans around me and not a single voice….. a gentle wind was blowing with little voice of whistle…. The leaves of the trees were falling….. most of them were dried up….. I picked one of the leaf which had turned yellow… I was looking at it like I had never seen it before….. I smelled it…. Very light smell of leaf was left behind….. the sun had hidden its face and now there was complete darkness…. I looked around all over but there was no one…. In fact if there was someone I would have been frightened… I looked at the grave on which I was sitting…. Thinking of one day I would be in the same place like everyone else with no one to hear me
Suddenly I felt some one’s hand on my shoulder….. my whole body became cold….. I looked back, an old person with white beard and dressed in white clothes…. “Yes can I help you”, he asked…… no I need no help but I think you need help….yes sure …. he said I am digging a grave and the person to be buried is of your height….. if you can lie down in grave so that I can dig exactly the size of man…. Now that I was like I should run away…… ok I will help you I said in a shivering voice…. The man was walking and I was behind him…. When all of a sudden a white cloud appeared before me and there was no sign of graves or the old man….
I screamed a loud…. I woke up on my bed… with the leaf in my hand… suffering from high fever
My mom asked me what you were doing in the graveyard ….. I had no words to explain
except my silence and fear told all the story..........................................
