Two months……... It has been two months since the college started. Finally, I got some days off in my hand. 11 March 2019 is the day I decided to visit my hometown. To visit my homeland again was such a pleasant feeling. Escaping from the city of high buildings, and busy roads to a calming, relaxed, natural place like my village was soul-pleasing.

With a heavy bag on my back, filled with all the camera, laptop, clothes and all I was walking on a muddy road, slipping here and there, the rain droplets on the tree leaves kept falling on me one by one, it was so beautiful, the rain just stopped attacking this beautiful forest.

 Yes, I had to pass through a forest to reach my village, luckily this was no place for man-eating animals but the forest surely had snakes, but it’s very much common for us. I was just walking the road looking at the beauty around me until everything just……..vanished. Now all could see was……... Nothing. It was just nothingness, it was not black, it was not white, it was just……... Empty.

 No exit, no entry, no human, no trees, no ground, no sky, all it had was nothing, just emptiness. Where was I? Seemingly there was no way I could find that out. But in some hope of finding something I just kept walking………still walking in some hopeful light. No sense of time, was it day or night? No way of finding that out. I didn’t even how long it had been since I came here.

 After a long walk, I saw someone, finally, this infinity seemed to end, hope of finding an answer was getting stronger. I started walking towards him……, Kept walking……, Still walking……..., Still walking……., I started to sprint……, Still running……., Damn it!!! I couldn’t even get an inch closer than I was before. I just couldn’t do anything. But suddenly he turned and walked towards me, he approached me, I just looked into his eyes and just as I thought I found a way to find an answer to all my questions, I realized that person was so familiar………. It’s me!!!! WTH!!!!

 What happened there was just illogical, it wasn’t a dream for sure, it wasn’t an illusion, what was it? That person was a clean copy of me, standing in front of me naked, his eyes were glowing as if they had to say something, the moment I looked into his eyes, I just went deep within myself, all my dark desires, all I don’t want to be, all I ran from hit be back. It was just me but with all the darkness that was inside seemed to have come out.

All I had was questions in my mind, no answers, no thoughts, I forgot who I was, lost in the infinity, lost everything, my memories, my senses, my body, I lost myself.

Then a light seemed to come towards me, it was a hole in that infinity, I crawled out of it, the light got Brighter, the light made me scream, it made me cry. I open my eyes to see a couple, laughing, filled with joy, because they gave birth to a son, they gave birth to ME.

On 12th March 2019, after his son did not reach home as promised, the parents tried to find them, and instead, they found his body crushed under a tree which supposedly fell due to lack of support as soil under it flowed away due to heavy rain the day before.
