The guy who knew…

DAY SEVEN OF MY CREATIVE WRITING JOURNEY. THE PROMPT WAS “WRITE ABOUT A CHARACTER WHO DISCOVERS THEY CAN SEE THE FUTURE.”

Once upon a time, there was a guy who used to be lost in his thoughts.

His name was Sasi. He didn’t have a second name or a religion as he didn’t know who his parents were.

He used to say that he is free from the clutches of religion or any other societal boundaries.

Detached from the bindings of this society, he used to roam freely, observing abstract patterns in nature, change in people’s behavior, and decline of values in society.

One day, he realized something that frightened him to his core. He couldn’t sleep for days.

He realized that people have stopped speaking the truth in general. They lie when there is no reason to lie as if it has become their natural instinct.

He wondered what would happen to a society where people would stop trusting each other. He realized that it will crumble like a house of cards.

PS – This is the seventh day of my journey to write everyday for next one year.
