The Afterlife Oeuvre

“What should I write for my next book,” my brain stipulated an answer for that ancient inquiry.
“Any idea?” I tried to counter-demand the answer.
“Let’s write something deep and mind-blowing.”
“Like what?” my curiosity made further effort in enquiring the answer.
“Hmmm. How about your life, from the day you were born until that evening you drew your last breath? It sounds fascinating, right? Don’t you think so?”
“Pardon me, I don’t really fancy that idea. For, as far as I concern, I have had a life which was full of tediousness and dullness. There’s no single trace of Light of Excitement within the history of my life.”
“You’re wrong on every level. It did make its visit on the day you’re born. It stayed within your life until that evening you drew your last breath. You may be astonished with what I’m saying. However, what I’m trying to say is that it made its unconscious appearance to your unconscious life and the visit was proceeded until that evening you drew your last breath. And you got to believe it, for it’s a universally acknowledged truth.”
He turned away from it with his back facing it indifferently. Feeling incessantly panic, he almost got his tears out of his tired sockets. He then picked up that usual confident tone which he always used for concealing his weaknesses. “Let’s forget about it for a short while and embark for a long walk,” he suggested.
“Here comes your usual escapist attitude, nice try!” the mind mocked victoriously.


They walked out of the apartment after that.
