RELATIVITY

Adams heart was racing as tears streamed down his face. He couldnt stop the tumult of memories
plaguing his mind. Memories he thought were meant to be cherished forever. He felt suffocated, as if
the four walls of his room were collapsing upon him. He decided to go out for a walk hoping that the
chilly night air would calm him. He walked a lonely road contemplating about what his life amounted
to. He felt as if his life ceased to be meaningful, all because of her absence. All because she could not
give him a second chance. He wished he had the ability to stop feeling, to not be infected by this
whirlwind of sadness. At that moment he saw another man on the other side of the road pass him by
and thought to himself maybe he was another lonely soul who wanted respite from all his pain and
sadness.

Brian, staring far into the distant light on the desolate road was pondering about how vastly he had
changed. From a sensitive funny charmer to an impassive withdrawn stone. He lost his wife and only
child in a plane crash when they were coming to pay him a surprise visit on his birthday. His life was
uprooted by an aberration in normalcy, an unprecedented bird strike. The shock was too intense for
him to even shed a tear. He somehow blocked it all, bottled up deep inside of him as he lives a
lifeless life. At that point of time, all he wished for was to feel, to realise the pain, to be human and
mourn, as is the natural course.
