Dry trees and withered leaves. So much silence. Any human seen here is either present to visit the tombs of their lost ones or is a janitor present to clean the surroundings. The cage...the mystery cage.
"I just hope we are at the right cemetery, Tom" Bill said.
It turns out that Bill and Tom had been on a mission to save the world..or not. They had visited all the cemeteries on their list and this was the last on their list.
They were in search of a potion which was rumoured to have powers from another planet and could be used to wipe out humanity. First question, why would an alien want to wipe humans off? Not like we've done anything to them.
Second question, why?!!!! Why on earth would they keep the potion in the cemetery? There are numerous places on planet earth!! Why the cemetery?!
Bill was a very clumsy person and little things scared him. One can only imagine all the drama he put up throughout their journey in each cemetery.
They got to the cage and started digging. They kept digging and they saw bones. Most likely the skeleton of the human that buried the potion. Legend has it that he died with the potion in his hand and hunted anyone who tried to remove the potion from his hand.
Tom and Bill meant no harm and hoped that they wouldn't be hunted.
They kept digging and… they found the potion.
"Yes!!! We found it" Tom said.
"Thank God we did. Now let's get rid of it before our rivals get to us". Bill made to collect the potion but Tom didn't let it go.
"Get rid of it? Do you know how much power lays on my hand right now? After spending days and nights in cemeteries, I should just pour out the potion? I would do no such thing" Tom said.
"Give me the potion Tom. It's a very harmful one and shouldn't be toyed with. Hand it over".
They started dragging and they got visitors. The rival team had arrived. They were the ones who wanted to use the potion to execute their evil plans not until Tom became blinded by power.
"I see you boys are already struggling for power. Just give the potion to me and I'd make you officials in my cabinet." The leader of the rivalry team said.
"No I won't!" Tom retorted.
"Yes! No we won't" Bill backed up.
"We either do this the easy way or the hard way" the team leader said. He gave a signal and his boys brought out their guns.
There was total silence everywhere. It portrayed the simile "as silent as a graveyard". And then something happened. An ant climbed Bill's leg and that got him giddy. He pushed the potion off Tom's hand in a means to escape from the ant.
No one understood what just happened till Bill stood still.
"What did you just do!!?" The team leader and Tom both chorused in thunderous voices.
"You asked for it you clumsy fool" the team leader said as Bill was shot on the spot.
"And you, unfortunately you chose the wrong side and now you have to pay for being my rival" and Tom was also shot dead.
One could say that Bill and Tom died saving the world. A minute of silence.
With love, Wongi 😊
