A memorable day

It was the first day of college and I was waiting at the bus stop, for the bus to come pick us up. There were four to five of my friends waiting along with me. We waited. We waited longer. No sign of the bus. Then a couple of our mates came in their bikes(by bikes I mean motorbikes). All but two of us, another guy and I went in the bikes.


So, it was just one guy and me waiting hopelessly at the bus stop. Then he suddenly made a quick run for the shop opposite to the stop. A bee stung him? He wanted to use the loo? I don't know till today why he did that. Was I being set up or something? I went for shade in the stationery and snack shop beside the bus stop.


Then an unexpected thing happened in there. The shop was not big; just a petty one. Two guys were trying to trying to steal from my backpack. I pulled one of the "robbers" and beat him up. I took two robbers heads in my hands and banged them against each other. I was amazed at my own strength. Two more guys came in. They got what they deserved. Those petty thieves. Stupid I must say. What possibly could I have in my backpack? Pencils? Pens? Erasers? Money would be the last thing they could find in there. I suddenly remembered. My friend was in the opposite shop. I went in there to check on him. He wasn't there.


So, I was all alone in this almost-deserted street. Still no bus. I started walking to a nearby bus stop. I had almost reached the next one when one more unexpected thing happened. This area was crowded. I saw something up in the air. It was like one of those foot pumps which you use to fill air in your bicycles or your basketballs. When it dropped on the road, 10 or 15 feet away from me, it exploded. I didn't know what was happening. There was chaos. Everyone was running in different different directions. There was one of those foot pumps in my hand as well. I didn't understand anything. Believe me it was like one of those "Fight Club", "Haute tension" moments. I don't quite know how to explain it. You need to watch those movies.


All right, so I was having that foot pump like explosive in my hand I was running like everyone else. I threw it a few feet away from me and it exploded. I was just far enough to escape the blast. This place was near my house. Like I said there was panic everywhere. People running everywhere and so was I. I was an outlaw? a terrorist? have I been playing too many video games?watching too many movies? What have I become? Did I lose control?


Like I said earlier, this place where I caused the explosion was near my house and some people would have known me and could identify me. I could not go back to my house :(
I had to live in the woods like Robin hood or in the caves like Osama Bin Laden. All these thoughts were on my head as I was running away from the long arm of the law. Then out of nowhere comes this huge head(cop from road rash) and says "BUSTED".


I woke up sweating. The fan was not spinning. Two hour power cuts were back again in Madurai after a brief power-cut-free period. It was 10 minutes to four.

I was only dreaming. A friend of mine said day dreams become true. This sure would be one heck of a dream to come true.


P.S this post was not checked for errors. I'm too lazy to do that.
