Sarah & Peter

You know God has a 1000 sons. One day he decided to send his youngest son Peter on earth to check up on humans. Peter being a curious one accepted gladly and came on Earth. On Earth, the very first human he met was a beautiful girl, Sarah. He introduced himself as a lost and hungry stranger from a far away place. Sarah took Peter to her home in the village. Sarah's drunk father frowned on Sarah's request to let Peter have a meal with them and threw Peter out on the street. Being a god, Peter did not understand as he could not feel the same way as a human. Sarah knew Peter was hungry and on the street. She saved some bread for him from her dinner. Once it was dark and her father was asleep, Sarah snuck out and found Peter sleeping under a tree. Sarah woke him up and gave him food. Peter still couldn't understand, how one human could be so different from another when they were made the same by his father. He told Sarah the truth about he being a god and asked why she was not like her father. She couldn't answer. Peter knew, to understand this he needed to feel. He went back to his father in heaven that night and asked him to give him the power to feel. Sarah also came back, but to find her father awake. He was furious.

In heaven, God laughed at Peter and said that to feel is not a power but weakness. Peter insisted. God said that to feel, Peter will have to become human and he could no longer be a God. Peter agreed without hesitation. Sarah started crying, told her father the truth that Peter was a god and begged her father to let it be. But he was not going to let it go. He stepped out to find Peter and confront him as he believed he was a fraud who tried to woo her daughter. Peter returned to earth and for the first time he could feel. He felt overwhelmed and ran to Sarah's house. Sarah looked at him with her teary eyes, he felt the love in her eyes. A warm drop of tear trickled down his cheek and he wondered what was this feeling. As he took a step towards her, a sharp long knife pierced his back. He could feel the pain, he turned. It was Sarah's father. In his anger, Sarah's father decided to test if Peter was really a god. Peter fell down in front of Sarah. He was confused, what was happening, what was this feeling. Sarah's heart sunk, she could not believe what her father has done but at the same time she felt betrayed as she thought Peter lied about being a god. Sarah's father ran away. Peter could not understand that he was dying. Sarah held him in her arms and to comfort him she said that it will be okay. Peter was still confused with so many emotions, fear, compassion, anger, love. He could now understand why his father said it was a weakness and not power.

Don, Kabini & Copper

  Kabini and her 2 lioness sisters, Rohini & Meher have been on the run for more than 3 months now. Kabini was the middle sister, Rohini being the eldest. Even though she was not eldest, she was the strongest and smartest of the three sisters. This made Kabini leader of the pack. Meher, the third sister had 2 daughters and Rohini, the eldest sister had a son, Copper. Kabini was childless, thus she was extra fond of Meher's two daughters. But for Copper, she was a strict mentor who taught him hunting strategies and duty of protecting the pack. Copper was a strong young adult and only Lion of the pack. He was not fully grown but his Mane was getting thicker and darker every day. With Kabini he had fought with wild dogs, Hyenas and other pack of lions. Copper had a strong bond with Kabini, stronger than his own mother, Rohini. Kabini’s mother was also part of the pack but she was killed 3 months ago by Don, an adult Lion. About a year ago, Don was part of another big pack wher

Moon and Ocean

Image
At the beginning there was just an ocean and a moon. They spent days just looking at each other, admiring each other. The Moon would say, 'Ocean, you are so clear and calm', to which ocean would reply, 'it is because your of your soothing blue glare'. They loved each other. They were perfect for each other, one moon for one ocean and one ocean for one moon. But, they could never meet, just admire each other from what seemed to be an infinite distance. Days became weeks, weeks became years. Ocean started feeling lonely on Earth. She pleaded to the God, to let her meet the moon. God understood her problem but could not agree. She again pleaded and said,'I don't want to alone anymore.' God sighed and suggested a solution. Ocean thought for some time and agreed.  The next night, when moon caught a glimpse of ocean, he could not recognise her. There was another ocean on Earth with land in between them. God divided the ocean in two and the ocean was no

The Meta Life
