Hi,this must be reaching you from somewhere in heaven.. I m lucky my species are so trustworthy that we are assured a place in heaven..
This is something that happened to me.. A story of how i was born, bred and ultimately died in the space of 1.5 years.. Surely i was fit to live..
It happened sometime in august last year.. i was born as 1 amongst 6 brothers (simultaneously).. My mom had become very weak and me being the weakest amongst all was abandoned by my family right after birth :(
I was just about dead when a human being saw me drenched in rain all wet and shivering.. He ran upto me a wee bit careful, worrying for himself shd my mom be around.. Seeing none of my family arnd he came up to me and took me in his arms.. For the first time in my life i felt the warmth.. it made me realize how important touch is to living beings..
He wiped me with a cloth, took me to a shade. He went rushing out and got milk for me.. i felt so good. He sat with me for sometime till i had finished my milk and then caressed me. He left me and i slept over there. I didnt know what it was but it felt good..
the next day again he brought me some biscuits and warm milk.. As i started following him ( thts wat we do when some1 takes care of us) LOVINGLY (Later he told me that humans also do the same thing i.e. sucking up to ppl who pay them money so that they can buy food and other essentials..) albeit UNLOVINGLY!!
This schedule continued for sometime.. He used to come everyday ( Humans call it morning walk). Bringing me food etc... Others from my species were envious of me..
One day he came up to me and said that he had spoken with his wife about taking me to their home but she was pregnant so didnt want to risk having me in their home lest i bring some infection/ disease.. I did feel bad i must admit.. but i looked up to him with a look which showed him my acceptance.. He said once his wife had a baby he would take me home...
Life kept going i was now growing up and i could find my own food.... it felt good being independent yet having someone to care..
Then suddenly one day...
My master came to me but this time i got a bad vibe from him.. he had an anger on his face.. nonetheless he brought my biscuits and i just started walking around him as usual.. but there was no love on his face he didnt even look at me... I felt something amiss.. But i attributed that to maybe work pressure ( ya by this time i was well versed with human jargons).. He put the biscuits near me.. I felt some odd smell coming from them but i trusted him.. i ate those biscuits and within moments i started feeling sick. I began loosing my senses and couldnt get up.. My breathing got heavy.. Yes my master was standing their seeing my condition but i saw a glint of happiness in his eyes.. Something that said Mission Accomplished.. I didnt know wat was going on.. Was this just a bad dream..
Later as my senses kept getting weaker he spoke..
"One amongst you b**** bit my wife.."
That was the time i realised what the problem was.. The slow poison took its toll and within one hour i had taken all the breaths i had to take in this life...
With the light dimming in front of me i had a last look at my master, the man who taught me what loyalty, care etc were.. The same guy who killed me.. Finally i slept, never to wake up again..
On my way from earth to heaven the angel of death said to me:
" Its humans, dear. You cant explain logic to a human being when he is bloodthirsty..
These are the guys who dont think twice before killing scores of people in the name of religion, lust, greed.. Even the best amongst them is an ass.. Dont worry u ll be happier over here.." But i still wondered is it right to kill me just because some1 from my species was rogue??? to which the angel replied " These guys kill innocent people from other religions just because of a few ppl gone astray.. Cant help it.."
And then laid in the arms of the angel i was in heaven..
