What If Past Lasted Forever

New Acquaintances

Kept on roaming inside this mere somewhere, just like a captivated bird ,But keep on swinging on and on while reminiscing about what nasty thing I have done, so some filthy being deprives me of my freedom, left with nothing but a struggling soul and a miraculous voice that can awaken a deaf person from its silent world, however the only difference between me and that desperate bird, that I won't be sitting there singing symphonies to pleasure you I won't be kept inside this cell until my feathers starts to fade away, I have to get to know more about this place and how to escape however they say that " Curiosity kills the cat" But that doesn't assume I cannot give it a try!

While shadowing this cage, eavesdropping through the decrepit wall, I heard some noise, it was somebody knocking on the blocks as he was sending signals. I went towards the bars to find that my neighbour in the left cell was the one causing all this drama, I was found bemused. Can't he just talk through them (bars)? So, I said calmly: "Man, I am right here, no need to make all these noises. Regardless, we are even in some James Bond movie". But he persisted and then glanced at me, he was a man in his thirties, bald and with a smile all over his face, and then he murmured in a sympathetic childish voice: "You want answers, you got to listen to me." And he laughed while touching his fingertips, I got nothing to do. Maybe he is my SALVATION???

He is called Mr Unicorn, and he even introduced me to his mate, which is a teddy bear.

The latter's name was Mr. Andrew and he looked atrocious. It felt eerie, his choices considering the names given to him himself and his lifeless mate, out of curiosity, my tongue has spilled, and I asked all daringly: "Well, why are you named after some mythical creature while your little friend has a human's name???"

He said with a jovial yet manic smile: "What do you think?? Hey, hey, what do you think? It's simply because he is a human. Haven't you acknowledged him yet??? He is the man... with the moustache, he keeps me company whenever I feel lOnely, and he is really good at shapeshifting: sometimes he is human and, Ah, at times he is this little bear, he continues in a sad tone, he sometimes turns out to be a meanie towards the king of the unicorns' realm!! He keeps on yelling at me, he doesn't care much about me, he lets out a laugh and says," So I have to teach him hehe a good lesson. And to teach him, hehe, a good lesson, I had to rip his heart, behead him, cut his flesh that feels strong on the outside but on the inside it, he is made from cotton, you know he has to be a good boy don't you agree?????"

He looked at me through the bars with an angelic face that opposed the words that he had just spilled. I was shocked for a while. I knew it, I AM ILL-OMENED, and even worse, I am surrounded by some serial killers!!!!!!!!!!!! And he reminded me: "Hola, are you there, why don't you respond? He starts crying in a furious tone all while banging the bars, are you dead or are you just ignoring me???

- NO NO, How dare I, a mere nobody, to ignore the majestic king of all unicorns' realm?? HHH, but I want to know what did that irresponsible naughty Andrew do to enrage your highness? I responded.

— Well, hehe, he doesn't know how much it hurts to be tied to that machine, he declared.

— What machine??? I questioned with a terrified voice.

— You know the one, whenever you get tied to it, you feel a shiver that will ruin your entire body, that will make you just like this bear next to me, you can't feel anything, you'll keep on begging them but what you get in return are some curses, I... I... I just hate it. He waited for a while and proceeded, But you know what, the sky is as beautiful as always ".

Turned over to that crumbling wall and through that small hole I pictured a bloody moon in the middle of that clear sky. All soothingly I was tied to it not noticing his laugh THAT KEPT ON ECHOING THROUGH THE SHADOWY HALLWAY. I felt his misery in that trembling giggle, he seemed tormented by this cruel world just like me , I just get this feeling even though I don't know who am I, so I said in a comforting voice: "NO worries, I will make sure that we all, the wronged, will get out of this wicked somewhere."
