The Vanishing Choice: Frolic of Survival

Game of Destiny!

[Present Day.]

[3 days passed and Elisa didn't come out of her room.]

[Suddenly her phone rang and it was Scarlett.]

[In voice call.]

Elisa: (shivering voice) Hello!

Scarlett: Hii, why don't you come to college dear?

Elisa: I'm.. I'm not so well.

Scarlett: What happened?

Elisa: Umm... Little fever.

Scarlett: Don't lie to me at least. Just come I've a surprise for you.

Elisa: But...

Scarlett: No ifs and buts. Just come.

[Finally she got up and ready to go for the college.]

Elisa's Mom: Where are you going?

Elisa: College mom.

Elisa's Mom: Don't forget the new rule. As per your behavior I don't think anyone will want that you should stay.

[Elisa couldn't tolerate this sentence. Yet she knew she was her step mom, but, nonetheless it hurts.]

Elisa: (in anger) Then what do you want mom?

Elisa's Mom: I want to disappear you.

Elisa: (in anger) Then you know what to do.

Elisa's Mom: I'm disappearing you because you don't have any manners to talk with me and disturb me a lot.

[Her mom actually pressed the 'Disappear' button for her. Within a second a bar flowed around her head.]

[REMAIN- 0% and DISAPPEAR- 20%]

[She couldn't expect this and left for the college.]

[After 15 minutes, she reached the college by auto. Since it was not 10 am, Scarlett was waiting for her at the gate.]

Scarlett: Heyy, good morning.

[Elisa just smiled.]

Elisa: Let's go to the class.

[When professor Cyrus entered the classroom, he had an eye-contact with Elisa. Within a second, Cyrus rotated his head in irritation.]

[After the end of the class, in the college ground.]

Scarlett: I've a surprise for you.

Elisa: (very silently) What?

[Suddenly her cute smile changes to a devil smile.]

Scarlett: I want to disappear.....

Elisa: No Scarlett. No.

Scarlett: (continues) You because you didn't want me as your friend. I paid your fare and you were just ignoring me.

[The bar around her head again.]

[REMAIN- 0% and DISAPPEAR- 40%]

Elisa: (crying) Why Scarlett why?

Scarlett: Because, I can't tolerate you. Such a annoying girl.

Elisa: But I'm your 1st friend in college, right?

Scarlett: So what? I've made more friends these two days. Ok? Bye..

[Elisa silently walked towards the gate but it was another obstacle in front of her.]

Person: You!! Now I get you. You can't escape. I am voting for your disappearance because you pushed me on that day. Just because of you, I lost my Ice-cream.

[REMAIN- 0% and DISAPPEAR- 60%]

[It all happened very quickly as she got no time to blink.]

[The time was 4:30pm.]

[As she was very upset she rushed to cross the pavement and unconsciously she crashed with a hawker who was selling Glass Candles and because of that inconvenience all candles were dropped on the ground. Nothing is left to be broken, neither that glass nor Elisa's heart.]

Hawker: Oh no. What you have done? Stupid girl. Now who'll pay for these? Huh? (In anger)

Elisa: I'm so sorry, uncle.

Hawker: I don't know anything. Just pay for it.

Elisa:(crying) Trust me uncle, I've not enough money.

Hawker: Then face your fate. (In rage)
I am disappearing you because of my inconvenience.

[Suddenly, from Elisa's backside.]

Person: Hey wait.

[Elisa turned back, it was Professor Cyrus. But alas! It's too late.]

[The bar flowed again]

[REMAIN- 0% and DISAPPEAR- 80%]

[Elisa felt on the ground while crying.]

[Yes, just 1 vote remains..]

["Character is destiny." -William Shakespeare.]

[A character chooses his/her fate by own. It was very much appropriate for Elisa.]

Cyrus: (looking at the hawker) How much for all of these?

Hawker: Just 80$ Sir.

[Cyrus paid him the amount and the hawker pressed the 'Remain' button for him.]

[REMAIN- 20% and DISAPPEAR- 0%]

[As the hawker left, Cyrus kneeled down.]

Cyrus: (very calmly) Hey get up.

Elisa: (in anger) Now what do you want from me? Huh! Just the last press. I think you should go for it. It's a very golden chance for you.

[Cyrus rode his bike and told her to sit on his bike.]

Elisa: Why sir? Where do you want to take me?

Cyrus: Do whatever I said (in anger).

[Cyrus took her to a garden. Some children were playing at a distance.]

Elisa: Sir, can you please tell me, why did you take me here?

Cyrus: At first you tell me how you got the rest of 60%?

Elisa: I don't want to tell you. Ok? You just take me here just because of my last vote. Then do it first na. Also I don't want to stay in this universe.

Cyrus: (sighs) Listen, I'm sure you got these votes just because of your behavior.

Elisa: Sir, I don't want any long conversation.

Cyrus: Are you insane? Who begs for last vote like this?

Elisa: (very silently) I.

Cyrus: Ok. Let me. I want to disappear you because...

[The bar flowed around her head.]
