Next thing I remember I was in my own memories. It was like a matrix or something. I was reliving all my memories. Suddenly the most unwanted person of my life whom I regret meeting to came in front of me. You know I’m talking about the one and only bitch. I’m going to kill that girl the first chance I get. She said, “Find the key to get out.” and she vanished.

I could not make out what she was trying to say. It was definitely a clue. Find the key? What key? Key to my locker room when I was in the high school? Was it the key to my car in which I lost my virginity? I had to find the key before the timer runs out and the worst part was I could not see how much time was left!

Right now I was with my prom date (the one I lost my virginity with). I could see the moment arriving. We were going towards my grandfather’s ’67 Impala. Holding my hand she took me into the back seat. I had the keys in my pocket. We had a wonderful time. I felt every little  sensation I had that day.

The first time is always amazing even for a boy. I remember I gave her the keys and next day I came to know that she died. Now I could change that just for my sake. I said, “Sorry darling, but it’s my grandfather’s car he’ll kill me!” She angrily went away. I had the key.

Now I time traveled to the time when one of my friends stole my vault’s only key just as a prank. I punched him on his face as I knew and took the key from him. The last key was my swiss bank key and I time travelled to that time. I was walking down the road which led to the Swiss Bank and went straight to my executive and asked for a duplicate key to the high security vault I personally paid them to open for me. He said, “I need some verification sir.”

I gave him what he wanted. He handed over the key in no time. Now I vanished and was standing in the middle of a black void. No one around me just a red light which showed me that I was in a small space. A voice said, “Choose one key which will open the door. If  you choose the wrong key you lose a life.”

I fortunately had one extra life. I went with the Swiss Bank’s vault key first. A voice said, “One life remaining.”

The Final Choice

I could hear my heart beating like a machine gun. I thought of the key to my car. Because it was the odd one out. But then it was possible the boss had a twist. Who knows? I kept the keys on the floor, closed my eyes and shuffled them well. I picked up a key and used it to open the lock. And I was correct! It was the car key. Now I entered a bright room with king size windows. I was at the 127th floor of the tallest building in the world, The Bhurj Khalifa… It was the final round… The round against the boss…. I was definitely gonna lose…

Stay tuned for more crisp…
