Sprawled on the bed with her face facing the textured wall, and the legs placed for the feet to face the door. Her black clothes on the dull red background provided a contrast in which her wheatish complexion stood out. Her silky hair spread across the bed crowned her head; but a few strands which chose to go downward formed the tail of the silky black crown.
She got up and looked at the ceiling for a while and then swiftly and slowly unmounted the bed; she stood and balanced herself without much effort and her steps took her to the kitchen. The heat outside the air conditioned bedroom struck her pleasantly, she let the warmth enter her and accepted it with gratitude, the warmth was comforting. The Kitchen was dark; she switched on the light; blinked; and then switched the light off. She looked out from the glass window and saw a light in the distance among the tress. The light held her gaze and she placed herself on the warm black granite slab without averting her gaze from the light. Her breathing became heavier. A thousand thoughts crossed her mind in a minute, but the next minute there was nothing, she was nothing, except a black figure sitting on the black granite staring at the light among the tall dark tress in the distance. Time…space, nothing held any meaning for her at that time. After a while she got up, dazed, her looks were hollow, her face expressionless, she walked back to the room, back to the bed…picked up the notebook lying on the side table, stretched across her hand to pick up the pen lying on the other side of bed and wrote this.
