A Mysterious Island

I came upon an island, which was like an empty land for the people like me to stay. What I saw was tall mushroom – type of trees. I saw myself near the seashore. Maybe washed away from the sea! The tall mushroom trees were huge which provides huge shadow to see and enjoy the breeze. I walked upon the wet land towards the tree to seek shadow. I was bare foot and I felt the coldness of the water. The sand stuck firmly on my leg. I enjoyed my relaxation under an enormous placid mushroom. The wind wafted making a whistling sound. The waves of the sea wagging towards me.

I enjoyed a peace over here, but I lacked something…. That is, I felt lonely! I wanted to go from where I belonged or have a companion with me, however, neither I know how I came along nor I have a companion with me. I squandered for a period of time wandering from where I belonged to. I tried to acquire the knowledge of past but I just don’t remember anything as if I started my life all over here.

I proceed inside the island where the glorified mushroom had receded from my view. I manoeuvred and moved because I felt that someone might be lurking on me. I didn’t move much inside the island because I might wander in search of my way back. Now what I saw was a harmless and the delicious mango. This is what I pretended it to be when I spotted one on the ground. I noticed that there were millions of mangoes on the mango tree with short height and easily pluck able. I plucked the dustless and glazing mangoes with shining yellow colour all over it. I carried few of them to the land from where my life began. The land with tall mushroom – type trees.

I started my first food sitting under the mushroom - type trees. I had no knife to cut the mangoes and eat in a decent way. So, I had to use my mouth and teeth. The mangoes were sweet and delicious and juicy that it leaked which flowed from my fingers towards my elbow. Meanwhile, I thought of naming this place and calling it – “UMBRELLAS” and the place where I saw mangoes I named that saying it – “MANGO WORLD.”

Then I ambled to go more inside the island to discover new things like the mangoes. I veered off making marks on my way so I can go back to “Umbrellas”. So, I first went to the “Mango World” and then went few miles ahead. I reached in a place which I never anticipated and envisaged. It was like the circle of illumination. I stepped towards my right then it was bright. In fact, one part of the island witnessed day and other witnessed night.

I stepped in the dark, where I could not see anything. I went inside where I could not see an escape towards day. I felt as if everything is vanishing away. I could just touch and feel the things around me just like a blind man. I had an apprehension that whether I have become blind or the surrounding truly vanished.

I wandered all my life as a blind man. As the whole year stays dark in the place where I live.
