The Chronicles of Us ( Chapter 5)
Chapter 5 – Back to Reality
Today was our last day here. We were quite sad but we were definitely not gonna miss the fun. Dad brought us to the souvenir street. We splitted up our ways. Mom and dad were together, Albert and I were in a team. Dad gave us an hour time to explore the street. We agreed merrily. Without wasting much time, we started to traverse. We bought some memorable souvenirs from some of the shops at the cheapest price. We even purchased T-shirts for two which resembles our memories here. I was surprised when Albert bought me a necklace. It was mentioned that it was a token of appreciation for my flying colour results. I chuckled as I was over the moon, getting unexpected gift from unexpected person. Quite interesting. Time travelled really fast and it was the moment to say goodbye to our vacation spot. We moved away from the village with such great blessings and acknowledgement that we would ever earn in a lifetime. On the way back, Dad decided to take the shortcut, we assured. The road was crystal clear, there was no hustle and tustle of the rat race found at the main road. Out of the blue, we started to distinguish weird and mysterious incident in our way. We agitated at the moment. Dad pulled over and called out at an old man standing helplessly at the edge of the road. His glance was very deadly. That old man looked very dirty and untidy. He tried to turn his back on by not answering any of our questions. We adjusted him to tell us what was happening around us. He closed him with a shut, The moment his eyes were unlocked, he said overweeningly, “This is the game of your life. If you win, you’ll be alive if not all of you will be the feast of hell”. He sounded unearthly. We were dumbfounded.
