LOST VISITORS | CHAPTER - 1
CHARACTERS: James Watson, Sreekanth, Vishwa, Karneshwar, Mubarak
James Watson, completed writing his exam paper and is waiting for the bell ring, as it was exam hour, he wasn't supposed to exit the hall without the bell ringing. He kept peering his silver coated watch, for the close of time,
3:29:57
3:29:58
3:29:59
James Leapt and exited the hall, his hair and face have been
chilled by the wind, it was the peace break, as the school
disperses, everyone will be chattering and making noises, and it
was the last day of the academic year, the beginning of golden
summer holidays, James is fascinated to see all his classmates
being emotional as it was the end of 9th academy.
And the bell rang like a warning given during war times, James Noticed Sreekanth faraway at the stage, he waved and "Lot of shame" James said "I'm going to stay home and Sree gave an answering wave, after getting near to Sree, Sree said,
"Hi guy, how did you do your exams"
"Oh" James said "not so good as you"
Sree said "me, not so good as you're"
"Where do you plan to go for this summer," said James
Sree replied "no plans but wandering the streets of Washermenpet,
complete all GTA missions"
"Endless shame"
"Why" said James
"I've completed the entire GTA V"
"Hmm"
Sree laid his arm upon James and they both strode towards
the canteen.
Vishwa, a soft and dark boy, round as a tomato, with sharp
and short hair as though a freshly trimmed grass lawn, he came
out and walked on the ground to find anyone eating to ask them
food,
Sree said walking "Definitely I will be here in Chennai"
James said "hmm, I will be here in Bishop Corrie"
Sree said "me too!”
James took out some penny from his breast pocket and
handed it to Sree saying “get me some snacks"
Vishwa noticed the penny in James hands and thought, if
we accompany these muddies, we may get some snacks and set
his stride, James noticed Vishwa early and said "Hi Karuvandu dark
beetle"
Vishwa punched James on his belly, suddenly Sreekanth
swirled his arm around Vishwa's neck and rubbed his head
vigorously with his fists, Vishwa yelled in agony.
James said "ok we shall go and eat in the canteen; I will
sponsor for everything you guys eat"
Vishwa said "if we eat now in canteen, then we have to
celebrate our holidays in the hospital, first quit the school",
Sreekanth too murmured the same, so James led them out the
exit, there Vishwa said goodbye to his fellow Karneshwar, and
James waved farewell to Mubarak who is about to ascend
on his dad‟s bike.
James, Vishwa and Sree walked on the Chapel Church Street,
James was the first to break the peace, he said "yesterday, I
found a weird bag"
Sreekanth said "bag? What bag? "
"Huh" James groaned "it is a big story!"
"Big story.., what happened?" Said Sreekanth
James Cleared his throat and spoke "yesterday or day before
yesterday, I was hurling stones at the mango tree of our school
ground, alas, I saw a hawk hanging a handbag with his beak"
Sreekanth astounded "what? A hawk carried a handbag? "
"Yes, believe it or not" James continued "the hawk suddenly
dropped the handbag upon my head, a big blow, after rubbing
my head; I held that bag and peered in, I was shocked!"
He took a pause to sip some water, and then he
continued "there were all strange substances inside, like some
kind of fictional scientific devices"
"Fictional scientific devices, you found them?” Said Vishwa
Sreekanth said "hey Vishwa, if we listen to him further, he
may tell us that he himself is an alien and he came to spy on
earth, let's go"
"Hey guy, be cool" Said Vishwa
James said "and then when I used a device, I visited US in
just a fraction of a second, you know"
Sreekanth said joining his both palms "sir, please don't torture
us by your senseless tales, let us go home"
"Do you think I'm just blabbering something out of
fiction!" James said "no man, I'm telling truth", but actually
James is speaking what really happened to him, he used the
device without knowing its name, he just thought it playfully, he
knew none would believe him if he speaks alike, but his tension
made him not to keep the thing below his throat.
Sreekanth was about to flee but Vishwa held him by his arm,
and whispered, “wait guy, let us go with him, let us see what he's
finally meaning to tell”
Sreekanth then stepped back and said “you shall continue”
With joy, James continued to speak, “I took a machine that
looked like a box and it contained many strange dials upon it…”
Sreekanth and Vishwa kept on walking listening to James'
conversation, Sreekanth slowly said to Vishwa "why you
stopped me while I'm quitting"
Vishwa said "you looser, a person like James is now only
trying to give treat, you're going home without accepting it, don't
miss the chance, and we‟ll never know when he's going to give
this again"
"When I typed the dials to New York and James said
without being aware of what those guys are speaking the next
second, I was standing at a strange place"
Finally, after a fifteen-minute walk, they approached the
Babylon Cafe at St. Xavier's Street, it is a small cafe with a
minimum of two or four dining tables, which is a place for
cooldrinks, fruit juices, ice cream, savouries and so on.
And they all settled on the dining table and James
narrated “then I realised I was standing on Manhattan, then I
pressed 'X' printed red button, alas, I returned to home”
Sreekanth whispered to Vishwa “does this guy lose his bolt!”
Vishwa scooped the ice cream and spoke devouring it “I don't
care it all, he gives us food, that's enough!”
Sreekanth looked at the ceiling and thought to himself, what
kind of friends I do have…
