Like many fairy tales start, it wasent a stormy night. Ther wasent even a single rain drop. Still it turned out to be a fairy tale alright.
It was one of the nights when you have so much on your minds and want a way out, you dont know what exactly to do. Something relieves your tensions and then you know that was the thing you wanted all along.
It was almost 11 pm when i walked out of my room. I was walking and walking aimlessly on the streets, and to me it seemed like ages.
Nothing was right that day, I had lost a nice clean assignment. I had a fight with my girlfriend. And my room, the place where i stayed was a mess. My girlfriend's curses and my boss's angry yellings still rocked in my ears.
I kept walking thinking about the day. Where i was walking there were many shops lined up along the street. All were already closed. I passed the shops like a breeze,then suddenly i stopped. For some time i couldent quite figure out why i had stopped. Then suddenly i realised, i realised something had caught my eyes, something that made me stop. SLowly i turned around. There crouched on a shop's stairs was a girl. Instinctively i glanced at the watch, it was almost half past 1. What was a girl doing alone on the streets in midnight. I walked slowly towards her, half curios, half excited. To my surprise i found my heart bit was speeding. Sweat drops had started forming on my forehead and i was shaking.
I was trying to form a picture of that girl in my mind. As i got closer and closer she got more visible. She was wearing a simple white dress covering most of the body. her legs were long hidden my the dres. Her long flowing hair was faling loose. And she wasent looking at me. She was staring at the floor.
As i moved closer i made loud noise by my feet. I wanted to grab her attention but she dident move. I called out but still no sign. I glanced around. The street was empty. Ther was just me, that girl and the street lights. I was wondering what to do and then after some hesitation, decided to shake her. I reached out and was about touch her shoulders when she turned her head. Her eyes stared through me. It was a moment frozen in time. I was completely locked in her stare.
