The Three Me's
The characters-
ME_EARLIER
ME_NOW
ME_LATER
The Argument-
ME_EARLIER : “You cannot blame me alone for this!!”
ME_LATER : “Had you done what you were expected to, I would not have been in this mess. And you, Mr. ME_NOW how can you be such a lazybone?”
ME_NOW : “Ridiculous!!! It is not the question of me being Lazy. I agree if ME_EARLIER had done his part, it would have been different. But you should be looking at ways dealing the mess you are in than playing this blame game”.
ME_EARLIER : “Yeah, that’s right. Why the hell are you after us?”
The Plot-
Just when I sat down to study the presentation yet again, I remembered to keep the laptop for charging. I am sure I will feel handicapped without it during the journey. “This is the single most important meeting in my career. And I cannot relax a bit till it’s over”, I kept on reminding myself. The flight is at 4:30 early morning, I should not forget to set the alarm.
The Argument Continues-
ME_NOW : “But it all started with your stupidity. How on earth can you forget to set the alarm?”
ME_EARLIER : “So what!!?? You are the one who overslept. I was struggling with the presentation last night. I was tired and slept off. But you… You took the luxury of being lazy to get up on time. As if people don’t get up without alarms.”
ME_NOW : “What ever has to happen will happen. It is destiny. Me, you or him cannot change it. Mr.ME_LATER now you stop this and move ahead. You are wasting your time here”
ME_LATER : “This is extremely disappointing. Because of you both I missed the flight. Now I will have to face the consequences. And you are accepting your fault. Hey Mr. ME_NOW how can you have the nerve to speak to me like this? You have put me into trouble. You are the only one who was lazy here.”
ME_NOW : “But..”
ME_EARLIER : ” You better don’t speak a word more now. I agree with Mr. ME_LATER. You are the sole culprit here”
ME_LATER was about to shout at MR._NOW again and the mobile phone buzzed. ME_EARLIER and ME_LATER vanished…
The Dream-
BUZZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZI sprang out of the bed. Threw the blanket aside while banging on the alarm snooze. The fluorescent screen read 3:00 am. An hour and few minutes later I collected my boarding pass.
Now is the time. Now decide destiny. Now can be the culprit as well !!
