"FIVE BOXES IN THE DESERT"
|
|
by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Radioactivity killed my last friend seven years ago. In the beginning, I
|
|
found his death to be the best thing that had happened after the war had
|
|
ended. We had walked in the global desert for years, me and him. The only
|
|
thing he could do was to complain. Day in and day out, he kept on talking
|
|
about his former life. He used to be some kind of electrician, he had a wife
|
|
and two children. He longed for them, he said. I guess he could not accept
|
|
that fact that earth had died, and we were the only survivors. When he fell
|
|
to the ground for the last time, I just left him behind.
|
|
Now, I long for him. At least he was company. I have walked in this
|
|
never ending desert for seven years, alone. Food is no problem, nor is
|
|
water. I always manage to find some. But I cannot stand the loneliness. I
|
|
have no one to talk to, no one to argue with. My feet just walks forward,
|
|
digging themselves into the sand, waiting for a destination to come. But
|
|
there is no such destination, I know that, but I keep on walking. Oh, I
|
|
wish that something could happen.
|
|
Then! Suddenly! I see something! Just a few feet in front of me, in the
|
|
middle of nowhere, the rays from the merciless sun reflects something
|
|
metallic on the ground. Walking closer, I discover that it is a trap door. I
|
|
feel how the hope returns to me. Perhaps this door leads to other people,
|
|
people who live underground - waiting for someone to come visit them.
|
|
But there is no one down there. Just a dirty table, two chairs and three
|
|
shelves on the wall. It is very dark down here, so I have to feel my way
|
|
around. I discover that the shelves has five metal boxes on them. I grab
|
|
them, one at a time, and take them outside. All the boxes have small notes
|
|
on them that begins with the sentence "IN CASE OF..."
|
|
One says "IN CASE OF HUNGER." It contains old cans of beans. I hate
|
|
beans, so I throw the box back down the trap door. Another one says "IN CASE
|
|
OF THIRST." The box is empty, so I kick it away. I examine the box with
|
|
the label "IN CASE OF MILD AGONY," and find a holy bible. Aware of the
|
|
present situation in the world, I throw it down the hole. "IN CASE OF DEEP
|
|
AGONY" contains a revolver. But it seems to be too rusty, so I decide to
|
|
get rid of it too.
|
|
Finally, I find what I am really looking for. The last box informs me
|
|
that it contains something to be used "IN CASE OF BOREDOM." I quickly open
|
|
it, feeling like a kid on Christmas day. But my joy turns to the normal
|
|
state of hopelessness as I discover its content.
|
|
My feet begin to walk again, aiming at nothing. I wonder if I will ever
|
|
find a destination, as I leave five boxes behind me, one of them containing
|
|
a chess table.
