ICE-MAN (Aughhhhh)

ICE-MAN (Aughhhhh)

It was a beautiful sunny morning, when I got up from my bed. I knew it would be a long day and a very long one indeed, with all the days work awaiting me to finish it and I knowing that the fate would never meet the day when the impossible would be a reality. Absurd, believe it or not it might seem so, but that’s what I am. When you come to think of it you could synonym it with ambiguous also!!!!
That was just a chunk of nothing, to grab your inattentive attention, but the grounds of the case that my senile mind would like to put up is that about a day, that was a hot one to tell you a very hot one, I was perched on an office stool when I heard the whip of the ice man moving down the street with an ass, which seemed to be as low as I was on my stool, when I suddenly lost the contact with the real world and found my-self floating with seals and the penguins, in the arctic region. It was a complete escape from the gruelling reality of life and fate. The play with the penguins took a quick change in the next chapter, when the icebergs and the snow were replaced with the beautiful larks flying in the air. The feeling was great; it was simply awe-inspiring, never before had I been so free and loud. I wanted to be there forever and ever when suddenly there was darkness everywhere and I could hardly see anything. I was falling!!!! I could simply feel it. The sensation of the ground rushing towards me at a hundred miles per hour, only it doesn’t come. I kept falling… and falling… and falling…
It seemed an endless flight, at times it was very fast and at other it just seemed to have halted down with its brakes! Then suddenly! Lo! There I was shamefully enough to have landed on the ground near a gutter. Never I had thought to be there, but wait it did not stop, there was more to it!!!
What????? Came the question from behind where I had been sitting to tell my audience about the adventure I had had the day before. I felt as if I was Lord Jim talking to my subject when their curiosity rose to the level of excitement that I had experienced and they were just honoured to hear of it….
Finding my self on the ground, I looked around, only to find my self to be fortunate enough to have been alone on my landing. Dusting off the dust from my head and clothes I gracefully walked down the street to yet come across something that would change my life. It was an old man who was sitting on the pavement with a few books lying before him. He was on old and ragged man who seemed to have seen and met a lot in life. I walked up to him and before I could speak, he called out my name and calls me to come near. Utterly surprised and amazed I went down to him. He held on to my hands and said, “May you be heard to.” This was strange enough, I had not known him but he knew much of me, he spoke to me and told me of my fate and past. I shook my head in pure disbelief. It was still so impossible to be sure as to whether it was true or not, but it was certainly so, the man sat there and talked to me, it was an endless conversation and time flew like the lark in the sky which had been once my companion. The darkness grew and I knew it was late. Before I said goodbye the old, ragged man stopped me and I looked back. There to my utter astonishment I found nothing but a book!!!!!!
Just a book?? Where did the rest of the scene disappear, I took some steps backwards and picked up the book and opened it!
“What did the book say?” came the question from a dozen people who had been listening to me. “Find it for yourself” was the answer that I gave so proudly, while handing the book to them, I stopped and demanded something in return to the secret of life that I was about to tell them. Everyone began to give me all they could afford. Just then came the noise of the ice-man whipping his cart with an ass as low as I was, sitting on my stool on a hot sunny day!!!!!!
