The Discount

I had planned to weather the storm until the break of dawn and hibernate in my shell until the wicked is dead, but it kept lurking behind the door with manipulative words trembling on its lips and banging on the roof and shouting profanity in the street. I curled tight into my shell and watch the night unfolds while destiny watches my spirit grow and the tiger waiting at the stream to derail my hard-earned dreams has frozen in the cold. The night was dead silent and not a sound could be heard except for my breathing and my heart beating, I pinch myself to see if I was alive and I hit the side of the wall to find out if anyone was inside, but everything was flat, and the silence kept them composed. I don’t know how long I could bear the agony and the isolation groaning in my belly, my adrenalin began to run high, and destiny began to thunder in the sky. I knew that something was about to happen as the vision began to widen. I tried desperately to take my mind off it and focus on the energy flowing from the cliff, it engulfs the space around and lifts the tension that was blazing in my gut. This was too true to believe I felt light as the breeze and the cold air penetrate my clustered space. The night continues to bear its silent penalty and I tried to enjoy its luxury and my spirt became one with the night. I stood in my shell and stare at the night enjoying its own company and all of a sudden, I felt an uncomfortable feeling moving in my belly and the sensation of the universe embraced me. No one was there but I did not fear, I thought I heard a knock on the door and turn around to see what it was and in one split second, billows of smoke start spreading in the sky and the trees began to die. Several explosions burst out on the ground, and it brought the entire city down. Night came alive and the multitude of people start running and screaming and buildings began to topple upon building and the choir in the distance began to sing. Fire blazed through the city and purified the street and at last the mission was complete. Mankind has taken us to the extreme, but destiny has unfolded in my dreams and the new Jerusalem was born. The fire cooled down paradice make them wealthy and witty, and they finally got the discount.
