With a dreary premonition of being hunted, she suddenly
became alert. The sickening overpowering kick of fear and adrenalin seeping in,
she prepared to scream and bolt.. realizing her solitude and no one to hear her
scream for help she froze.. no way out from being attacked which happened as
she foresaw.
However luck favored and she barely managed to escape with her
precious life. The scars would remind her of the horror every day. Living under
the shadow of pain and the need to put on a brave façade sucked the joy out of
life. She swore to never walk on the path again.
They say time heals..but her time froze and ended with the
attack.
But one day..she stumbled upon a rare special torch.. the
fire lit on the torch was supposedly said to keep away these monsters which
attacked her. Not just that.. it was prided for having the capacity to turn
them into wonderful human beings!!
She was so skeptic.. She shuddered at the memory of being
attacked and was reminded of the cruel inhuman creatures who showed no mercy.
But the mere possibility of the torch delivering its promise
brought in courage and hope which she never felt for a long time! She had to
walk down the path again and face her demons and put the past behind! It just
had to be done.
She held on to the torch and gripped on it with all her
life. The first few steps were so shaky but she held on. With a deep breath,
she left the remorse and blame behind..slowly leading way to anger..
Built on her pace..walking faster now..the torch shone more
brightly.. she looked around.. they did not dare come near. She was reminded of
the little joys she shared on the way home.. the joy and laughter was still in
the air and she was lost in reminiscence
The warmth of the torch touched her soul now and comforted
her like nothing else ever did..
She knew she was safe.. and she was able to be happy again
in the glow of the light! And we have a ‘happily ever after’.
I am really glad for her. But, what next..? I am just waiting for her to now be inspired to use
her torch to save the countless others.. : )
It will happen soon! : )
