THE SEARCH

There was a scene of destruction. The car was burning and the girl inside surely died. This is all the result of their stupid deeds. But no one of them was awake to realize it now. They should have followed the rules of driving.

After sometime the girl whose head was struck with the stone gained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and in an instinct realized all that happened. She didn't feel any pain but a grief of this remorseful accident. It took her sometime to gather courage to find her friends. She stood up and went to search for others. The car was highly blasted and burnt thereafter. That was the darkest night ever. She didn't even know where they were. She remembered how her friend circled the steering and they lead here through a muddy road. She looked around only to find big bushes and heavy stones there. There was no sign of any human there. She slowly went near to the car but at a distance felt a rage of fire- its burning heat hence, backed off. She took a left from there and followed the path straight. While walking, she found different small parts of the car burning, but there was no sign of her friends. She walked for quite a long time worriedly until she heard chattering sound of crows. She followed the sound and after some steps ahead and a turn reached to a group of crows flying over a corpse. As soon as she entered the spot the crows flew away. But she didn't notice them because her eyes were still on the corpse of her friend. She screamed and ran towards it. She knelt down near the body and shook it violently calling him;

"Tony, wake up. Wake up, Tony please. I am sorry; we should have listened to you. You had warned us. But instead of taking your advice seriously we mocked you. I need to support you that time. I am sorry, please come back........"

She was guilty for not listening to her friend whose name was Tony. She and other friends challenged him to take the front seat and face the speed because they want to see him scared so as they get an opportunity to mock at him. But the result was not at all funny. He was right as this was really the matter of life. And now she realized it. She wanted to mourn long but she had to find others also. There was still a chance that anyone of them was still alive and need help. So she decided to continue her search.

After witnessing what happened to Tony the journey became harder for her. The pain, the guilt, or thought of worse for others, everything occupied her mind. It became hard to take steps now. But somehow they hope to see someone alive gave the strength to her. She wandered to the bushes searching everywhere and arrived at a tree. She sat under it thinking but suddenly realized that there is something on its other side. When she peeped she saw her friend James who was driving the car. She arrived to him hurriedly in hope only to find him dead too. She got totally devastated.
