The Prisoner

It was the dark era for the whole universe. The obscure forces started to take over the brightness of the world. The hunger for power, greed for money, lust for sex was increasing day after day. Those who raised their voices against this darkness were raped murdered or imprisoned. Mother eating their offspring, brother against brother, the humanity itself was in danger. Humans had developed in science and technology but they have deteriorated their humanity in the process. It was a war and each heart was filled with bloodlust.

The inter-galactic war was spread all across the universe. In the middle of the war, there was an isolated planet keeping all the refugees and criminals jailed. It was a Pangea planet. A large piece of land surrounded by water but on this planet, the water was toxic. A single touch of the fluid on the flesh would burn the membranes and cause severe injuries. With no place to run, no path for freedom, Refugees were struck on the island. Every day new prisoners were dropped from the sky. Lucky enough people would fall on land rest will just boil in the witches broth. Lack of food and rations made the prisoners carnivores. Hunger brings the animal out.

"Would ya' like a hand. Aye! Mate." said an old prisoner accused of killing the high ranked officer who raped her sister.

"Got me the juicy thighs," said young prisoners who murdered his mother to save his sister who was in the jail with him for helping him in the act.

Those who weren't allowed to leave their cells were fed by their friends or left to die of starvation. In a dark underground cell, there was a girl chained to the wall. She was accused of killing the person who was trying to rape her. She killed a hundred people and two police officers from jail. They all tried to rape her. She wanted to maintain her purity moreover she didn't want to be raped. She would do anything to save her soul. "Rape is not a forced act of sexual intercourse, it's the murder of a being's soul while keeping the body alive." She said during her hearing at the court. Her statements started a revolution against the whole system. But now she had nothing to do that. She had lost her reason to live. There was pitch black darkness. Not a single indication of light in the cell. She spends most of her day blaming herself for being beautiful. "Is it my beautiful face they like or is it my huge assets that drive them crazy," she asks herself. She blames God for making her this way. She wishes for death to come to her as soon as possible. Death was too far for her. The only hope she had was because of the presence of a small hole in the wall. The only light was coming from the small hole. The only way of counting the time. "2000 suns," she reminded herself. Its been approximately 5 earth years since when she has been imprisoned. The glimmering light coming through the hole brought little hope in her dark life. With every day passing by, the light grew brighter. It became shinier. It felt like the grew big. She woke up every day, finished her work and went back to sleep. The change in the light was slow and gradual. She could not notice the change until one day. The whole room was bright. The light was penetrating every inch through the wall and lit up the whole room. The room was filled with a bright shiny fog. the silvered fog started to cluster in the center of the room. It took the shape of a boy. He had golden-brown eyes and skin as bright as the sun. The girl stood up. She looked deep into his eyes. She could see the whole universe in his eyes. "He's the one," she thought. She raised her hands and reaches his face. She tried to touch his face with her shriveled hands. As her hands grew closer, the room became darker and colder. An uneasy feeling was set across the whole room. Darkness was getting clustered around the corners. It took shape of a canon. The nose of canon pointed on the head of the boy. It blew his head. There was darkness again.... ©D-Kun
