The Last Night...
That would be such a good title for a narration. Maybe one day I'll make one for it (such an inside out way of making a story but unfortunately that is how I do it. Maybe that's why my stories aren't so good)
It would be about the last night on earth. Imagine some unexpected catastrophe was going to happen. Let us say the most massive solar flare was iminent and it was going to swallow the whole earth. But it would move at such a speed that when it actually hits Earth, no one would feel any pain. Of course things like the electromagnetic field of the earth goes crazy, the animals go insane, massive storms destroy cities and dissipitate within minutes, all electricity stops and things like that.
The story would be about people. Very different people. I would like there to be a drug dealer in the back streets contemplating his life. Maybe a priest trying to spread the word of God in China. A bushman in the deserts not knowing at all what is happening. A pregnant teenager in England. The president of a country. A soldier in the middle of a war. An old man who has nothing left to live for. A famous popstar. A husband and wife who were just about to divorce.
That would be an interesting story wouldn't it? I don't think I could pull it off but it has promise.
Lol. Eitherway, it is the last night of studying for me. It is the last damned exam. Glorious medicine, the largest of all the subjects I've had to learn this semester! And surprise surprise I'm scared of it too!
Once I'm through this night I won't be here in this tutorial room again for a good while. I shall once more clear up the books and laptop, shift the tables back to their places. Look around this blue empty little room, wave and close the door.
Then I will return and see the last remnant of college disappear, most of them only a month, others for a much longer time. You can prepare more and more for it, but you can never stop feeling a little sad.
The semester is over! It's not a year, but it is a partition in time. Have you learnt much? Have you changed? What have you valued and what have you not?
I have learnt much and changed much and it feels a little like finishing writing one chapter and sighing... But the next day you flip open the next page and it's bright, blank and new.
