The 100 books
I had written thousand happy moments in a hundred books and had buried them in a forest to come back and read them someday. Eventually, as time passed, those books turned themselves into trees. And eventually, those happy moments turned themselves into painful memories in me. With a wish to destroy those books, I ran into that forest and stumbled over the root of a tree. And a drop of my blood got spilled on that root. That very moment, all the 100 trees that those books had given birth to lighted up like stars and began singing the moments I had written in those books. While hearing those songs, a drop of tear jerked from my eyes and fell on the same root. That's when all those trees caught fire. If I had wished, I could have brought in the rain. But I didn't. I dropped to my knees and watched those trees burn down while the songs they sang began fading.
