Finding Ray

I am hungry and my hunger pangs are increasing. When did I have that soup ? Was it yesterday?  I can't make sense of time. Was it just a dream ? I search in my pocket and luckily find my phone. I thank god for it. I turn it on. It's just got 5% charge left, but no network. It's obvious that there will be no network in a forest. 


I quickly turn on the light and flash the light across the room. I find the same stool and a small mud like pot on it. I slowly go towards it and find some kind of gluey stuff in it. I don't know what it is. But  I am hungry and just start eating ignoring the weird taste it has. I turn off the phone flashlight and switch off the mobile to save the last bit of charge it has. The gluey stuff is not as good as the green soup which I had earlier but still edible. I just eat a little just to stop feeling hungry. 


Who is that stranger who fed me the soup? What kind of place is this ? Why am I locked in here ? While I am lost in my own thoughts, i here a creaking sound. I quickly run back to the cot and pretend that I am sleeping while my eyes are half open trying to see what's going around.


I see the same stranger coming in, and his clothes smell foul and I feel like throwing up. He draws some strange patterns on one corner of the wall . And the ceiling lights up and the kitchen counter up pops out of the wall like magic. Wow ! I should have given attention to the pattern. He turns around to look at me while I still pretend to be asleep. 


I see him chopping up some strange greens, and quickly beginning to cook up something. I then see him pulling out the same little bottle of grey powder out of the shelf. Well I can clearly see colours from far of distance as this has been one of my gifts. 


While it's cooking the stranger walks towards where I am sleeping, touches my forehead with his warm hands to feel my temperature. While I make my best effort not to throw up due to the foul smell he is radiating.


I slowly open my eyes and see that he his staring right into my eyes with his wide eyes. He gestures me to sit. I slowly get up and sit. He then pulls the 3 legged chair over  and sits on it. Silence prevails for a few minutes and then I realise that I'll need to strike a conversation with him. 


I say "Hello! I am Rachael." He doesn't seem to understand.  He fumbles in his dirty smelling shirt pocket and pulls out a strange looking device. He tries to turn it on but it does not seem to work. He gives me a quick grin and he looks adorable while he does that.   I know for sure that he did not understand a word I said. 


He gets up, walks back to the kitchen pours a similar looking dish like the green soup to the bowl and brings it back to where I am and hands it over to me. He then walls back to a corner of the room where I am seated and does another pattern on the wall and I miss it again while I was busy eating and was not expecting that. The entire room lights up and I am now clearly able to see the colours around. 


The soup is mostly green with a tinge of purple in it. I had seen him adding the grey powder to it and I  know I'll fall asleep as soon as I am done eating it. But I don't have a choice. It's his territory, I don't know what powers he may have. Till I learn everything about him and gain his trust I better not take any risk. I silently eat what's been given to me making a note in my head to learn all those patterns when he does it the next time around. I can sense my eyelids getting heavier and I don't know when I passed out.
