A Night into the Grey
*running footsteps*
*footsteps slowing down*
A 19 year old teenager, with his hands on knees, gasps in relief as he realizes that the strange creature was no longer following him. He lifts his head up, and finds himself in a corridor with his back facing a wall, he couldn't fathom what's going on, he's absolutely sure there was neither a wall nor a corridor just moments ago.
The corridor has a grey carpet, and as the boy walks ahead, he sees an old geezer waving at him. He didn't know how to react, but he felt a sense of security as he is in a closed space now, and the creature cannot enter this facility. The Old man's face, all wrinkled, arguably atleast 70 years old, is visible to the boy now. As he sees the old man, he feels an inexplicable familiarity.
Old man, joyfully says, 'This is definitely an improvement, you managed to stay back, and not get up'
Boy, clearly perplexed, responds, 'Do I know you sir? What is this place? Where exactly am I?'
Old man, with an irritated look, says, 'Oh yeah, let me do the boring routine again. Before I tell you anything, you need to agree to three conditions'
Boy: 'Sure, what are they? '
Oldman:
'1. You can't ask me more than 7 questions
2. I can't answer all of your questions, so for the ones I can't answer, you'll have to replace that question with a new one
3. Don't overreact for any of my answers'
Boy raises his hand and says, 'Question'
Oldman sighs and says, 'Let me guess, you want to know what does it mean to not overreact'
Boy looks at the geezer wondering what kind of trickery is this, as he spelt out exactly what he was about to ask.
Oldman: 'Kid, you'll get the answer. For now, just abide to these conditions'
Boy: 'Sure sir, I will'
Oldman: 'Good, now think carefully and shoot your questions'
The boy finds himself standing towards the fag end of the corridor, he sees a grey wall in front of him, and he turns right to see a wall, this one's white in colour. Now, he turns left, and he sees one more corridor, and this corridor looked like it didn't have an end at all. He observes the same grey carpet spread in this corridor too, and it actually extends from the corridor he just walked on. He also notices that this...
