Optionless

A constant beep woke him up from his dream. He squinted his eye and fumbled for his mobile which had slipped somewhere inside the bed sheets. The incessant beep ringed inside his head as he struggled with his sheets. Finally he hit snooze and went back to his sleep. He could afford another five minutes before he got up and hit the shower. He wasn’t looking forward to the day. Being treated like dirt in office was not something in his plan. Always a good performer in college, he shouldered the burden of many expectations. But it was his own expectation that troubled him the most. Past two months had been the worst, both professionally and personally. His least favourite colleague had been transferred to his department as his superior. Long hours at office would leave him tired for anything else. That didn’t go down well with his girlfriend who constantly nagged him for not giving her the due attention. Right now he wanted to forget all that and enjoy the five minutes of peace....

FREE

Every night I free my soul from the shackles of my body and let it wander free. It escapes like a bird from a cage and soars above high. It roams about carefree, it plays with the pixies and it dances in the moonlight. When dawn comes, it unwilling comes back and resides in me. During the day, I get around doing my usual chores, while it patiently waits for the night to come.
