“It was midnight and I couldn’t sleep” said my darling, “I had a strange and horrifying nightmare.” Saying this she blushed and hugged me. After I calmed her, she narrated to me the whole dream.
“Fasten your seatbelts and put off your mobiles,” said a voice, ”All passengers would be attended to shortly after the take off.” My guess was correct, she was the air hostess. Suddenly I felt a backward thrust and correctly recognized that the airplane was ascending. I then closed my eyes to suppress the various in evitable activities that had started to trouble my stomach. No sooner did I open my eyes and come back to my senses than I heard an announcement that the plane was stabilized. Hardly had a moment passed when the airhostess appeared like a ghost or perhaps more like an angel. I looked out of the windows to locate my house but in vain. Perhaps we were too high or in the mid way of our journey from nowhere to the center of galactic nebulae of the ‘Andromeda M31’ galaxy. The strangely outfitted air helpers interrupted at regular intervals just to help other passengers who looked no different. Their faces seemed so sunny that even Navjot Singh Sidhu would have blushed to a red tomato on observing them.
The flight was too unusual for me to understand. As the plane flew further regular flashings of light like that of the mercury vapor lamp never gave way. Few seconds had passed by when I was lost in a cloud of thoughts but I saw a sudden change in their expressions and quickly became alert.
The bright sunny faces of the airhostesses seemed to have been laden with strange forms of grief, pain and fear(It hardly was distinguished as everyone of them including the others passengers but me looked alike.). They all rushed to the cockpit in a swarmand in no moment of time , they receeded but to remind us not to forget to fasten our seatbelts. “There is an urgent need to make an emergency landing,”said one of them. The other revealed that the air cooled compressor of the engine had caught fire.
Hardly had the people heard this than they were set aback. Even the most silent of them could not help “raising his wings” and hissing, buzzing and hussing.
This fault in the plane had inevitably invited criticism for the plane . One of them said,”Hardly do we get anyone to satisfy our thirst of the red water but this plane!!!!Just thank it it for becoming our own grave yard . The air helpers consoled them but in vain. Suddenly a strange thing happened.
All of them kept “peeping — nono —staring at me”. All of them in just a fraction of a second swarmed around me and threw off their gowns to show me their true colours. I was greatly shocked at this sight!!!!!!!!!!! “They were not humans”- I was confused what to do and my senses had intermingled with each other and vanished away finding a way through those strange creatures….But of course I couldn’t do that — actually I was unable to do that…I could not have just got even a fraction of air to pass through those creatures who continually came near me.
They then pulled out their bare tubelike apparatus were just to notch me out when I dodged them as just then I heard You calling “My darling get up.!!!” Thankyou, Thankyou very much….my love..
Then I realized that it was only a dream…”
My wife completed her dream in a single gallop of time and I understood What she depicted about in her dream….By the way can You guess What was the situation and Who were the strange creatures?They were not aliens………Guess it ……. , pretty Wrenched?????? huh!!
