Rantings

C: Hey, where have you been? Long time, no see!!

B: I can't see anymore. My eye balls just fell.

C: Hey!! How come?

B: Don't worry, it happens. Sometimes you just can't control your inner feelings.

C: Hmmm...ya, I know.

B: So, what's the plan now? Planning to see a doctor? I know one if you want.

C: No man. It feels nice when you can't see anything and just leave everything on your imagination. You can create your own world just before your eyes. And the funny part is you don't even have your eyes!! I have never been so happy ever.

B: But....

C: Actually, now that you seem so interested, let me tell you the truth. I myself popped my eyeballs out with my son's pencil.

B: Oh, so sad. But why would you do that?

C: This thing, I am referring to my eyes, lately had been demanding more. He wanted to see more places...wanted to see more mayhem, another world-war maybe. He was getting pleasure by all this chaos and negativity. You, won't believe, once he asked me if I could kill my son so that he could see him dying.

B: Oh, it must be then when you decided to pop your eyes out with your son's pencil.

C: No. It happened much later. When I decided to pop him out, he was just sleeping. It was harmless. But it made me see a weird dream about this coffee house where people were disappearing. But the good thing was that I had my share of coffee.

B: So, what was so bad in that? These things happen. You should not have punished him in such a harsh way.

C: I was fed up with his behaviour. Every time, he would demand something new and cruel. So, I gave him what he deserved.

B: What was his reaction when you decided to.....? Did you ask him his last wish?

C: Yes, as a matter of fact I did. He asked me to cut my finger. He wanted to see the pain in my eyes.

B: Uhhhh??

C: Yes, I did cut one off my finger - the thumb. He had asked for it. How could I not! He was my eye; my source of vision; the only thing that connected me with this world, with you. I had to fulfill his last wish. He was crying a lot. He was pleading....wanted me to reconsider my decision. But, I did not and popped him out.


A: Hey guys, wanna play ping-pong with me? I just found a pair of balls.
