Re: Post A Short Story/Poem
How did it happen? How it began? I wish I could remember, but I can’t. Did I do it? No, it can’t be. I could never do anything like that. But if it wasn’t me, then who was it? If only I could remember. And that guy… He looked familiar. What a hell happened tonight. I was spending a night out with my girlfriend. After movie, I walked her home and gave her a good night kiss. Then I started walking home and… all goes blank. I remember nothing. Next thing I remember is that I’m on my knees at alley near my home and next to me is a body of a dead bum. I’m looking at my blood soaked hands. Then I see someone at the distance. I ran away. I ran at my home. And here I am; lying on the floor trying to reason this all.
But how long I’ve been lying here? I rise up and check the time from my cell phone. 2am. It seems that I lied there for a while. But who did I see? And who saw me? Yes, someone saw me running away. But it was too dark for him or her to recognize me. Yes, I couldn’t even tell was that person boy or girl. I should be safe. Or am I? I can’t stop thinking about it. What if I was recognized? What if police is already coming here? I need to calm down. I make some coffee because I know that I wouldn’t be able to sleep. That bum. He looked familiar. I know I’ve seen him somewhere before. I’ve seen him…
I drop sausages, which I just took from the fridge, on the floor. I remember. I saw that bum earlier that night when I was with my girl. He kept bugging us and asked money to buy some booze. He continued doing it until I told him to fuck off. So, I met him on my way home? He got offended earlier and attacked me because of that and I accidentally killed him? Sounds far-fetched. He’s a bum after all, so he’s got to be used for that. So, did I just attack him because he kept bugging me and my girlfriend? No, it can’t be. I’m normally very calm and I wouldn’t harm another, unless it’s a self defence. And if I killed him, how did I do it? With bare hands? I’m not physically very big or strong and I didn’t have knife with me. This doesn’t make any sense.
Should I call my girlfriend? No, it’s a bad idea. I pour a cup of coffee and sit at the table. I start drinking it and I awake for a noise that’s coming from staircase. It was a street door. Then I start hearing steps. Is it a police? Should I run away via balcony? Not an option; this is a fifth floor. And there’s no an elevator either, so stairs is the only way out. The steps keep closing in. So the person I saw, recognized me after all. The steps are coming now from third floor. There are two; no three people at the staircase. It’s a police. I’m sure of it. Steps are coming from the fourth floor. Should I pretend that I’m not home? They can come in anyway. This is it; they are at the fifth floor… Huh? They continued to the sixth floor? Now they went to someone’s apartment.
Thank God, it wasn’t a police after all. Someone just returned home and brought some friends with him/her. I couldn’t care less about a noisy party right now. But why can’t I remember what happened between the time I left from my girlfriend’s house and I found myself at the alley? It’s all blur. Nothing comes into my mind. Nothing. I sit on my bed and drop my head down. Then all goes black.
Then I awake. I’m lying on my bed. Was it all just a dream? But it felt so real. Once again I check time from my cell phone. It’s 10.45. I promised to meet my friends at the town 11.30. I get up and get dressed. Funny, I don’t remember taking my clothes off. Then I noticed my coffee mug on the table. When I examine it, I notice some cold coffee in it. For a moment, I try to reason it but then I leave. Sun is already high up and there are no clouds at the sky. I put my sunglasses on and start walking. It seems that a beautiful day is coming.
EDIT:
You can give it for me, if you want
