All he wanted to do was to stop the inertia of the beat.
Stop. Please stop.
But of course, his heart wasn’t conscious of his mindset. It believed in survival of its owner, against his wishes if that may be.
Was he a coward? Could he not kill himself?
He looked down the edge of the building. The bullshittical dots were moving about their bullshittical business down there, unconcerned that at any moment now, a thin-framed, curly-haired loser with zit-riddled face would hurtle down at 9.8 m/s2, crashing directly on their expensive dot like sedan leaving a crater of a bump and splatter the windshield with lot of scarlet and gooey yellow and some flesh twisted at some extremely obtuse angle.
Even in death, someone would curse him for the inconvenience.
DUVIDHA KE LIYE KHED HAI.
He checked his pants. Yup. He has peed inside them.
His legs were shaking badly.
He wondered how other people managed suicide. It’s not that he didn’t hate himself enough, he hated himself a lot. But somehow that wasn’t a strong enough incentive to end the life of an organic life form that represented him.
He has been a fucking coward all his life.
Shut your eyes and just walk ahead. Move your left leg first, then your right.
But he stood firmly rooted to his position.
Think about your physics marks sheet. Now, yes move your left leg. Good.
He wiped the sweat of his forehead. Piece of cake.
Next is Mathematics. Think about all the X’s and 0’s that Kamina Paadkutta relished in coloring your answer sheet with. Move your right leg. Yessssss. Good boy.
He felt the wind on his back. Yup, even God wanted to catalyze his demise.
Damn you, don’t nudge me here at least!
After pondering over, he retraced his steps.
Coward!
He bit his lip. And closed his eyes.
Saptarishi, you deserve death. For long you have disappointed the world. Don’t disappoint them now. Self-terminate. Immediately.
He opened his eyes.
Now, do we indeed want to walk on this road less travelled?
He wanted to puke badly. Sorry dear, definitely some other time.
He was about to turn back when he heard the most exquisite and discordant laughter that a throat could ever produce.
He looked sharply in the direction of the voice.
It took less than a second for the expression on his face to change from fear to utter surprise!
Because standing right behind him was the ugliest snot-green alien that he had ever seen…
