Slow creaking sounds from the anti-clockwise fan, monotonous
rhythms of water droplets and dull flames of the melting candle broke the
silence of my gloomy evening. Subtle lights from the yellow beacon illuminated
the warm texture of the secret window.
It has been quite a while I opened these wooden doors. With
curiosity at its brim and laziness overlapping my curiosity, a riot of mood
swings ate my brains inside out.
Uff…
I sighed!
I removed the warm cloak of coziness and stepped ahead to
embrace the semi solid light source to unveil that secret which lies behind
these solid bars.
The closer I went near the window; ailing ambient sounds
went sound proof. A desultory silence conquered and crept throughout the room.
POP
I opened the latch slowly allowing an ominous aura entering
the room. It hit the candle light with its chillness, which was already nearing
its closure.
And what do you know? That’s where I witnessed an eyebrow
raising moment.
A blend of luminous silver and a hue of crimson rust
enlightened the winter skies and festive lands.
Dumbstruck by its serene sight, three syllables escaped my
mouth.
HoHoHo
It was Christmas.
Comfort and craziness are two parallel with one window. Curiosity is the key to open up.
I jumped out of the window to experience the craziness.
Without a balance I crashed down and woke up.
Everything was a dream.
P.S.- Never open your secret window, because secrets are
surreal.
Beautiful story....Surreal!
