The Undiscovered World

Mesmerised by the ink spreading its vibes on the blank sheet of paper. The moment you realise words turning a not-sung song that touches someone's heart. My thoughts kept rushing. I was never out of words. Spending the last few months on the garden gave me rise on hopes for my poems. I never thought I would turn into a poet when I was fired from the 'A corporation' 3 months ago. I spend my first month grieving what to do next. When I realised nothing can be done, I began to engage in gardening. I was interested in gardening from a very young age. It always remembers me of my grandma, the evening vibes and the song from the near by radio that played the same songs on repeat. I kept writing. I don't know what I was writing or how, but words kept rushing. The continuous writing made my neck hurt as usual. A small stretch that is what it all needs. One, two, three and my neck may go free. Stretching exercises continued till I saw that creature. I couldn't explain myself what I saw. It was small just like a hopping bunny but where did he go? Let me check I raised from my chair out of curiosity. Where did you go bunny, punny?

The next thing I remember is darkness and a hole above my head. Did I fall through this? I don't know. That is what all I could say then. Confused in the darkness I stood. I hear screaming I hear murmurs but I can't see any of them. "'On' I say" some one shouted, the next thing I saw was something spectacular. Thousands of bunny structure surrounded me. Should we report her? No I don't think so. They kept discussing what to do with me. I stood there observing. I found some of them using head phone like structure and they kept reporting something through it. "Take her to the head room" the leader of their gang, a tall and fat bunny ordered them. ' "no" I screamed. 

They hopped on me tied my hands and covered my mouth took me to their head room. The head room was located just across the hall way that stretched thousands of kilometres. I observed other rooms as I passed by sun room, plant room, humans, dinosaurs, dead bodies....the room names became creepier as we passed by. There I reached the head room. Every room seemed advanced and well maintained. Each room was different. The only thing that I could see in common was list of buttons, they differ in size, shapes and colours. I saw a few of it pressed by the bunnies. I also noticed the little badges they carried. Even though they were as a size of a rabbit they had great strength. I waited in the head room for about an hour. I kept thinking about my escape. They locked the door in the very moment I entered the room. The room I waited was very different from others they had no buttons. Every rooms were operated through buttons and passwords so my chances of escape was very low. There were no window which resticted me from seeking help.

 I opened my eyes to see the leader of the group staring at me. May be I had slept. I jumped out of the seat. They untied my hands "can you walk?" The leader asked. Yes I nodded. We walked on a different way this time. The room were of great lengths. 'Enter' they said showing me a room that opened just in my touch. There were no buttons this time too but a big table with a big chair which was turned the other way. The table was filled with some papers and files. The chair turned as I was examining. A human! I was shocked. A man wearing a coat which I have never seen in my life, it had a bit of shines. Hands were covered with sleeves and gloves. Is he even a human I doubted. 

 

"yes I am"

" what" I enquired. 

"I am a human and what you see is not a dream" He said . 

"Who are you?"I asked. 

"Call me Rom. I am founder of this planet."

" What?" He continued " Earth was created with different species in it. Species evolved over time. Humans, who had high thinking capacity changed earth as they wished. They built what they wanted and destroyed what they didn't. They refused to support other species and nature. Technology developed but none of them couldn't protect earth. Pollution increased animals and trees were no longer protected"

He continue as he walked around the room "It was when I was spending my time with my dad at the underground lab, the nuclear power plant at Xoo blasted. No lives were spared other than us. Our own findings killed us. My father who worked at Xoo Science Labourtary decided to bring earth back. The animals were protected, more plants were planted buildings were removed. Earth became a heavenly place to rest without humans. The last plan was to bring humans back but it involved a great risk. It would be a repeat of history, so we created a earth of our own with few people from the past. The plants and animals you saw were just our test elements, just a pass test for humans. Once we find that humans are no longer a threat, the humans would be taken back"

I listened to his story with amazement and fear. " Hard to believe, right?", "Come with me". 

He showed me each room, each and every actions of our earth were controlled by them. A button is pressed and here rises the sun and another button, here the wind comes. They observe each and every action of ours. The little bunnies were to help him in his experiment.

" Once you cross the line, you go into trash." What? "

" Yes there is limit of how much you can exploit, when you cross that you people fail and you can go into trash. This continues until we find a perfect batch- the people who find love in nature, who takes a moment to praise where they live on."

" But how did I get here?"

" Sorry for that, I ordered them to fix the broken roof but they didn't and here you are!"

I couldn't stop laughing at his reason.

 Sun gleamed at my face, waking me from the deep sleep. Here I am drooling over my poems. I jumped from my seat. I looked for the hole out side the window, but there wasn't. Was it a dream or real? I couldn't explain. But I can say one thing, what he told me was right. If we don't take any responsibility of course his words would come true. 

This incident or my dream gave me high spirits and that is how I wrote my first story " The undiscovered world".
