Rainbow

-

 The arc of color , sunshine through the falling rain. Bright against the sky light like a smile that warms the spirit. But everything is myths for me. I am color blind. I can see the colour but not as well as normal visioned person. When i look at rainbow , yellow stands out, purplis  blue a hint of red . Red tends to look orange to me. Green is not visible.

Didn't know i was colourblind until i was 18 & only recently did i stop to recall how i drew rainbows as a child always using only red ,yellow & blue. I remember being skeptical when people spoke of seven colours & could make out more colours if i saw a rainbow shown on T.V . I just thought local rainbow were not standard one. However there are supposed to be special glasses available now that can help me to see color better. I have not tried them yet but i would like to...

Tomorrow's Man

For seven years, my world was this cell. Gray walls. Loud noises. Bad food. Then they told me: "Tomorrow, you hang. For killing your friend, Ram." At first, it was great. I was "Tomorrow's Man." The star! They gave me a new shirt. It was soft and clean. I got a real pillow for my bed. The guard even called me "sir"! I felt like a king in a castle. I got my last meal. A huge, greasy pepperoni pizza. All for me! I ate it slow, tasting every bite. I wrote letters. I wrote to Mom. "Don't be sad," I wrote. "I'm fine." That was a lie. I wrote to my little sister. She's having a baby. "Be a good mom," I wrote. "Name him something strong." I felt like a wise man, giving advice. Night came. I wasn't scared. I was special. Morning came. They walked me to the room. It was small and clean. There was a trapdoor. And a rope. That's when my heart started. Boom. Boom. Boom. Like a drum. They put a hood over m...

How Did This Even Happen?! part-1

One perfectly normal morning, I woke up with a weird feeling like something was… off. My bed felt too soft, the air smelled faintly like flowers, and my chest felt… heavy? I sat up and nearly screamed. Big. Breast! Two enormous, jiggling mountains of flesh were squished beneath a soft pink nightgown. I yanked the blanket off and just stared. I stumbled to the mirror and there she was. Me but not me. Long, silky hair, big hips, pouty lips, and a face that could break hearts. A total bombshell. I blinked. She blinked. I poked my cheek. She poked hers back. “What the hell?!” I slapped myself. Still not dreaming. Heart pounding, I grabbed the phone on the table. It unlocked with my face her face. I checked the calendar, the apps, her notes. Same name. My name. College class schedule, some selfies, a weird shopping list with five kinds of lipsticks… and I just knew I was her now. I was in college. My college. Just… the girl version of me? I found a pair of skinny jeans , a tank t...

How Did This Even Happen?! last part

A few days later, I saw him. In the library, I looked up. My heart stopped. A boy sat by the window. He looked exactly like me from before. Same hair. Same eyes. My old face. I panicked. I hid behind a shelf, shaking. Was he real? I waited until everyone left. Outside, a soft rain fell. I stood under the roof. "Hey." I turned. It was him. Up close, he was a breathing photo of my past. He smiled shyly. "Rain's annoying," he said. "Share my umbrella?" I nodded. We walked close. Our arms brushed and stayed touching. He asked my name. I told him. He laughed softly. "Mine too." Before leaving, he asked, "Coffee tomorrow?" "Yes," I said, too fast. The next day, I got ready with a nervous heart. We drank coffee and talked for hours. We talked about feeling out of place. The sun set, painting the sky. He looked at me like I was precious. He kissed me. It was slow and careful. I kissed him back. Later, he whispered, ...
