Welcome

My mom was crying.

I wanted to console her but she didn’t seem to be looking at me. Her eyes were red and swollen.

She was leaning over my dad’s shoulder. Dad’s eyes were wet too, but he was trying his best to bind his tears inside his eyes.

I knew that it was all because of me. I couldn’t do anything. I stood there silently, staring at my mom and dad.

************************************

It was a morning in December, but still it was so hot. Where ever I looked my vision was blurred. It was strange.

I felt as if I reached some alien planet, just near sun. The wall was transmitting heat. Scary.

I took a glance. The only thing I could see was a closed door, locked from inside. But beside that, there was someone … Someone with long grey hair, the founder of E=Mc2- Albert Einstein!!

My eyes were wide open when I saw Albert Einstein relaxing on a couch. I pinched my hand to make sure I was not dreaming. Yes-it was real.

“How com--e yo--u are here? “,  I tripped over words while speaking to him. I was shocked.

“Its all because of the idea I have suggested, atom bomb”, said he, still staring at the floor.

“But how?, You didn’t do anything? “, I persisted.

“Yes girl, but it was what pushed the whole world into danger”, he didn’t look at me and continued-

“I accept, I deserve this” while saying that he threw a gaze at me.

“You are new here? “, he asked me.

Before I could answer him the door was wide open. I could see the flames of fire filled inside the room.

I panicked. I saw someone coming to me.

He had horns in his head with his eyes bulging out. I couldn’t call him a human, he was ugly.

“Hey Ashna, welcome to Hell”, said he.
