Area X06

Planet specter

Galaxy Steins gate

Yesterday I got some messages from somewhere far away from my world. It was in some different code which I converted to my language and it was somewhere from planet Aoi (blue) of milky way galaxy, it goes like this-

Year 2106

The time passed like this and the earth saw the worst phase of its life with continuous heating, pollution, rising temperature, glaciers melted, forest kept on diminishing and became critically endangered and hardly there are few places on earth where we can find trees, some crops have stopped being grown, many diseases started bursting. Few decades ago Africa became so hot and barren that it was not possible for anyone to survive,many people died some flew away. Now its impossible to find a place to live on, even a small number of people are alive,the only thing left here is robots and smartphones. Now its a miracle to see people. There was a diary of my great great grandpa with me from around a century ago,from where I got to know there used to be seven continents here with lots of rivers,different trees, birds, dogs and cats roam around everywhere, cows on roads in some countries, stars in the night sky. And now I wish I could go back there but the time travel agency was completely destroyed in last decade darkest disaster of our times.

Around somewhere in the last pages there was something good written-

Few days ago earthquake destroyed many countries,Tsunami in few caused havoc in other, and the places left was either destroyed in forest fires, drought and cyclones. In our hometown earthquake destroyed the whole city,my home was destroyed,I couldn't find my wife, my children, my mom,my friends. I couldn't see not even a single human,animal or bird around, I think I am the last person survived here. It was impossible to live here after few days of crying, searching for any clue to know whats happening, after so mich of efforts i decided to find someone whom i could talk to so I packed some food and clothes and started a journey in search of finding human.

I roamed from different lands to hills for quite a long time, I forgot the time, date and started marking it with pebbles collected and today it was 50 still I couldn't find someone, some cities were empty as if ghosts were residing there, I could feel the presence of souls playing in these parks, children running around, I used to sleep in open with fire around so somebody could see me but still I couldn't find anyone.now I realized Its so much painful when you are alone but this loneliness haunts you when you have no roads to travel ahead. After 77 stones at last I saw a some smoke coming from some distance ahead, I knew there was somebody there, I increased my pace and after few steps my feet automatically started running,my face was lit up and the nearer I came my heartbeat started raising, I could feel it was far more than the time I proposed my wife. Finally I could see the cave ahead me from which the smoke was coming out. I ran towards there and found a lady and a man sitting beside fire,there clothes, hair, faces and smell can instantly tell you that they were also searching for me. I thrown my bag to the ground and sat and said "H.....h......h........hello" they replied together "Are you alive?" And the lady continued "I thought we were the last beings alive".

And after the usual conversation we eat the fried fish on the bonfire and the lady continued.

"You know, some days back I always thought I am the god of this world, I could do anything as if the whole world was going by my wish. I was the prime minister of the biggest country of the world. One of few strongest people of the world, leader of the biggest military of the world.People were like puppets for me and not even a single leaf could not move without my order. And now I realized that I am a human after all. Now I used to laugh at my older self" interrupting the lady the man started

"You know I was just like you, the biggest billonare the world has ever seen,one of the richest man on the planet. I could clap and countries become my backyard, I would shout and the government will massage my arms, people will sacrifice themselves for me, I don't own weapons I would own the whole weapon, car, mobile company.......now you see me I am in ruins, I hadn't bath for months, I hadn't eaten food for days before this fish, I couldn't change this, I always thought money was world. But now I know money was just a paper, an illusion created by us, fellow humans. Initially I cried over all of this but now I realized that I was wrong my whole life."

Few tears dropped from his eyes and wiping it from his arms. He asked me

"what was you all before all of this?"

I looked outside the cave, then to the fire, then the hungry lady,eating the fish without caring anyone, then the man waiting for the reply and I said " my life was not something special just like you two " they both looked at me bewildered and I continued " and at the same time I wasn't Buddha but one thing I knew for sure my family was my world, and I was here for no power,no money but only one thing my family, but when I lost them I feel my world was over, but I was not down and started once again to find someone if no one then at least to see the world at least become the last spectator of the climax of this whole movie. I knew I would die someday soon but why to wait the death to come instead enjoy the life whatever it sends and makes the death even more enjoyable." I stopped a bit looked outside and again started " maybe I may sound boring to you but life couldn't be same for anyone. I wasn't as powerful and rich like you and my life wasn't royal like you. But in the end I knew I was happy and my wife loved me"

And I smiled trying not to offend the lady and man

Suddenly everything became dark and there was complete darkness everywhere and I couldn't move my body, I tried to scream bbut the noise didn't came out . suddenly a white light at the distant started becoming bigger and bigger and finally everything brightened and now a friend of mine with a drop of blood from his face coming out was in front of my eyes, suddenly shouting and screams of joy could be heard near me, everyone in military uniforms and smiling faces greeted me and my friend said

"Finally we won the war buddy "
