Tsunami Dreams

Tsunami- The Giant Tidal Waves. It knows to present only the death. Hardly people survive after getting trapped in that waves. May be those are the godly souls.  But my article here is not about the tsunami waves rather than I am going to narrate a story here.

The story is not going to follow any norms of short story grammars. It will begin suddenly and end suddenly. And you cannot find whether the story is commencing on past or present or future.

"I was sleeping with my friends in a room that night (actually morning ). The space is not a large one yet sufficient to accomodate a group of five.  I was in a deep sleep may be due that day's wandering or travel we had for our picnic. I could feel a pain in my leg . I don't know how? Though it was a summer night we did not required air conditioner it seems. I felt a cool breeze from sea shore as I am in a beach resort.

In a distance I heard someone calling my name. It continued for a long  time. I felt a disturbance in my sleep. I wanted to shout at them but my tiredness did not allow me to wake up. The calling did not stop. With much anger I woke up to respond. My friend Helen called me. She started to tap on my body.

With drowsiness 'Hey is it fair to call a sleeping person? What happened?' I asked

'Can you hear any sound?' She asked me back

I tried to hear a sound she told. But I could not ' No' I said.  She did not leave me.' Wait observe keenly. You can also hear' she said. Again I tried to hear. Yes I can hear a sound of breeze, sound of a dog barking. Now I said 'yes. The dog is barking'

'But I wanted you to hear an unusual sound. It comes from sea I think' Meanwhile others started to wake up by our sound. All repeated the same ' What happened?' I told them. Everybody tried to hear a sound she mentioned. I felt someone is trying to push me, shake me. Not only myself but everyone. 'What is up?' I asked.

Suddenly Helen screamed "Earth Quake" come on let us go out. Now I can clearly hear the sounds of people who felt the quake and ran from their places. I tried to get up from my bed. But I didn't. Again I dont' know why?' Actually no one including Helen got up from their places. The quake did not stop. We did not move from our positions. It stopped suddenly. Pin drop silence prevailed in our room. WE looked at each other's face.

'It is first time I am feeling a earth quake in my life.' I said. I looked at the clock. Time is around 5 am. I don't know what is our outing plan for that day. When should we start? etc. I leaned back to my bed. Like me no one got scared about the quake. Why? I don't know

Helen went to window. For a long time she was seeing outside. The sky started to turn blue. After some minutes she called us. Maria went to her. Helen pointed something to Maria and asked 'What is going on there?' There was a change in Maria's face. It is a fear I think. Maria started to call others. I also went and saw what is going on. Since that window is very near to sea shore we were able to see something odd.

We saw waves receeding from shore slowly. Something flashed my mind. I heard somewhere, receeding of waves signifies only one thing. One of the dangerous symptom of nature. TSUNAMI is going to hit the shore in a short while. Helen heard some unusual sound from sea only because of this.

The very next second no one planned how to go, where to go, with whom to go out from the resort. I did not even cared about the rest of four. I saw gigantic waves at a distance. I had no time to pack my bag, to take my money or to take anything. I had only my mobile with me. I came out of the place. Started to run along with all people who were near the shores. Distance from the resort to the nearest road is itself too long. No I did not think of that. My target was to reach the tallest building in the main road. Many others who are all running along with me had also the same target it seems.

Hundreds of pairs of legs helped their masters to escape from the tidal waves. I ran. Did nothing but ran. Yes I have covered 40% percent of distance. I stopped and turned back. No still am in the danger zone. Again I started to ran.

Ran.......

Ran.........

Ran........

I reached the main road border. I turned again. Tsunami had hit the shores. My God what a huge gigantic wave demon is in front of me. No it is not the time to look at it. I started again to run. I crossed the main road and went inside the building stairs. The wave was long enough to hit upto the main road side shore border. I escaped in nick of time. I started to climb up in stairs.

My adrenal gland started to secrete more than the normal. I don't know how many floors does the building have. I climbed.... climbed... In that stairs there were hundreds before me and thousands after me. All had the same destination. I peeped through a hole in that building. The second wave is nearing the shore. I am not sure in which floor I am now. I started to climb again. I can hear sounds of death from the ground. Third wave is nearing the shore. The next wave is more huge than previous one. Sure God has planned for the 'Judgement Day' I think. I did not stop climbing neither do others. Fourth wave is reaching the shore now. I stopped for a while and saw the ground. I am sure nobody who were in the ground would be alive by this time because water level was raised upto the level of first floor approximately. Fifth wave reached the shores.

'Oh God What is this? Why the killer is not stopping? How many lives does it require?'

I regreted for coming to this place. My mother avised me not to go this picnic . Had I obeyed her..... Atleast I would have been with her and my father and we would have died together. But now. I cried not for my life but for my parents. How could they digest my end of life. How could they bear the sorrow? . No I have to live for them. I started to climb again. Water level raised drastically. I can see waters in the stairs. All are breathing for their life. Many who were in the stairs by his time have.......

Sixth wave reached the shores and water raised again. Seventh wave,eighth wave...... Water is very near to the floor which am in now. Though I climbed high it is of no use. Next wave hit the shores. Water level is one floor next to the one I am now. Nobody is moving before me. I am stuck, trapped. And I have reached the end line of my life. I took my mobile phone dialled to my mom. It was around 7 am. Now only she would have woke up.

'Hello Dear. Tell me. Now only you got off from your bed?'. She is very happy to hear my voice.May be she is not aware of the diasater.

'Mom I am sorry. This is the last call in my life. I wanted to hear your voice before I die.'

She got alarmed. 'Why?' she screamed

I explained. I can hear huge sound cry from that side. 'Dear Do something and escape? You have to live.' she screamed. 'I know you can. Escape'

'Sorry mom. everything is beyond control. I have no choice. Mom I love you more. Good Bye' I cannot hear her sob anymore. I cut the line.

All others who were with me are also hopeless, everyone started to count their last minutes. I got a call from my mom. But I did not attend  Next wave hit the shores. Water is near to my leg. Next wave is nearing the shores. It is the wave which is going to end my life

My count down started

Suddenly space before me got cleared. I got space to run. Not much hopes I had . But I proceeded. I got lot of space. Next wave hit shores. By the time I reached the terrace. I saw a helicopter flying around there. Somebody gave me the rope ladder. I climbed in it. Next wave also hit the shores. I was in helicopter now which flew away from that place. Now am away from sea shores. Do not know where I am going now. But am safe. My life is not going to end today. Many helicopters were taking trips to save the living ones. Many others were climbing the ladder to get away from killer wave. I heard a ring from my phone."

I got up from my sleep and my mother attended the phone call from my father who is abroad.

Yes the above story is the worst nightmare I have ever had in my life. Not even a single sentence is an exaggaration. All happened in my dream.

This is not the first time I get the tsunami dream but many times previously .But those were not worst like this one.

I cannot imagine a tsunami in dream. I am really sorry for the people who have encountered a situation like this. And for the people who have died in the killerwaves. How would they have been while
everything happened really?

Actually I had changed the names of my friends. I do not know what happend to them? Did I tell my mother I am safe? Did the killer stopped? Nothing I know

And why I am getting dreams like this?
