Scene D 1

Master! Please understand. Listen to me” He said.

The master took a stick.

Master! They have teased me several times” He said.

With a terrific look, the master moved towards him fiercely.

Master! I did my job. My job is to protect my fami...” He couldn't finish.

A massive hit at the back of his body mad him stunned.

The master didn't stop hitting.

“Get the hell out of here. I don't want to see your face” The master said after hitting several times.

He was badly hurt not because of barbarous whippings but with the acid words. They tore his heart.

Scene M 1

Lead! Please understand. Listen to me” He said.

The lead sent a warning email.

Lead! You know me. It is not my mistake” He said,

With a sarcastic look, the lead was moving his head left and right.

Lead! I did as per the instructions. I was trying to protect our comp...” He couldn't finish.

“Will you please stop explaining?”The lead raised his voice like a bulldog and continued.

“Your last warning. Get out of my cabin” The lead finished.

He was badly hurt not because of warning but the acid words dipped with chilly gestures of his Team Lead.

Scene D 2

I forgot to introduce myself. Nobody knows my origin clearly. Perhaps, my progenitor is Australian Dingo. I have come from forest where leopards and tigers were common which mad me extremely cautious and alert. I hate monotonous tasks but I do sometimes for the sake of my pack or family. I love to protect my family. I have almond-shaped dark brown eyes and I have many names such as pariah, pye, naadan, theru naai and desi kutta.

Simply, I am a street dog. I have no place to go now. I was beaten ruthlessly and I am starving to the core. What to do?

Scene M 2

I forgot to introduce myself. After Industrial and Electronic Revolutions, We are in Cyber revolution. My society gives respect only if I am a part of this brain-sucking centipede profession though I have a passion glued to my chromosomes. This is my fifth company in 3 years because I hate monotonous job. It is time for me to settle. I have an athletic body and attractive eyes. I have many names such as trainee, Executive, manager and VP. Simply, I am a boot-licking software professional. I have to keep this job because my job history is not that great. What to do?

Scene D 3

I have been starving for the past three days. My intestine has several altercations with me for not filling anything. My tongue's taste buds have forgotten their functions. I just want something to eat. This is my third territory. Each territory was marked by my mates so I couldn't enter any of those. After many quarrels, fights and arguments, I became the part of this place. To my surprise, I have got a bone to eat. I am biting, biting and biting. My taste buds got activated because a new taste was experienced. I am biting, biting and biting. I am not satisfied but I like the taste.

Scene M 3

I am suffering from insomnia. My body clock is not in my control. I have been suffering from stress and mental depression since I joined my first company. I just want something to relax. I just want something to relieve my current psychological and emotional distress at-least temporarily. To my surprise, I have got a cigarette to smoke. I am inhaling, inhaling and inhaling. My brain got activated because a new feeling was experienced. I am inhaling, inhaling and inhaling. I am not satisfied but I like this feeling.

Scene D 4

Hey fool! What are you doing?” Another dog asked him.

I am having my food” He replied.

This is not food. There is nothing in that bone” Another dog said.

A different taste is coming from this bone. I like it” He replied.

You idiot! There is nothing coming from the bone. It is the blood which came from your own mouth. You are tasting your own blood. Don't do it” Another dog clarified.

“I love this taste. I will keep on tasting this. You try it otherwise you are gong to miss something big.” He replied.

“You are such a foolish creature. Come with me, I will give you food” Another dog offered.

“No, I won't come. I am happy tasting this. Bye” He replied.

Scene M 4 (Outside tea shop)

Hey Buddy! What's up? Are you tensed?” His friend asked.

“Ya buddy. Office tension. As usual” He replied.

“Have this da. It is quite a different taste.” His friend gave him a different brand of a cigarette.

He started inhaling.

“Nice da. I love the feeling.”He replied.

While he was inhaling the cigarette, the tea shop owner said something.

“See that dog, sir. It has been biting the bone, which is useless. There is blood coming from its mouth but still it was biting and chewing as if it were a gourmet.”

Scene D5 and M5

The dog was biting and chewing its own blood without aware of. The man was smoking cigarettes which sucked his own blood. The dog did not know that if it does the same thing, it will lead to death.

The man is very well aware that smoking cigarettes for a certain period of time will lead to cancer and other diseases which will lead to painful death.

Scene M 6

The man left his wheel of thoughts towards the dog and realized his big mistake. He compared his action of smoking cigarettes with the dog biting bone.

Hey!” There was a sound with vibration inside his body.

Who is this?” The man asked.

“I am changing the shape of your blood vessels by making them into thicken and grow narrower.” The voice replied.

So what? Who are you?” The man asked.

“I don't love the normal rhythm of your heart beat. My task is to make your heart beat fast and your blood pressure goes up” The voice continued.

“You know better. It will lead to clots, stroke etc. I don't like human-beings so I will make you impotent. I love your heart more than you love your heart. I will take control of your heart beat and can give you heart attack” The voice said.

The man couldn't say any word.

“I will do more than you imagine. The problem is I have my own timings. I love to create changes in your body at right time, which is probably a very wrong time for you. Think about it”. The voice finished by saying “ I am your lovable cigarette”.

 

“Is it my intuition? Imagination? Or real?” The man asked himself.

The half burned cigarette fell down automatically from his hand.

“How can I be so naive? Why should I take so much pressure? Why should I have to live for society and others? Why cannot I live for me and for my closed circle? Why cannot I live for my passion and heart?”
