exit

a real-life scenario--

just had finished our weeks of gluing exams

finally we were back to the classroom in a light-hearted disposition

laughter filled the room

we planned a chalet get-to-gather with foods and lots of get-to-gathers

elated. anticipated. upbeat we were

we left the classroom

a group of of us got into the elevator and the elevator door closed behind me

while the elevator was descending to the ground level

a familiar voice emerged from the crowd said, "hey guys, we are all here now, but believe it or not, once this elevator touched level one, the door open and we all exit from here, we may never get to see some of us here for the rest of our life anymore."

dead silence conquered the little space we shared

suddenly our hearts turned heavy and the gravity force of the elevator augmented

we reached ground level. we exit and walked separate ways


how true. i scroll down my contact list now, some names look familiar but faces seem distance


it's a shame.
