Blue Witch

-
Raghu a teenager who was residing in goa with his parents and a very studious kid, one day it so happened that, Raghu looked across the Dining table, to where his father was reading the newspaper. Same old headlines- Matrimonial, deaths, corruption, politics. But then, in the corner-in a tiny blue box-were the words   blue witches written in loopy script. Huh. “Hey, Dad?” Raghu said. “What’s Blue witches?” The newspaper fell from his hands, and Raghu caught a glimpse of his father’s face. It was horrified, red, and from there purple and blue and red again. Most strikingly, though, was how   angry   it was. Raghu had never seen him that angry before. “Get out,” he said. “What?” said Raghu. “Get out of my fu*king house!” he screamed. “You are no son of mine!” His mother, pale and shaking, began to cry, as she mouthed the words “ Nor mine. ” Raghu, crying, ran out of the house and onto the bus, still crying.

It was a Sunday night I was watching Breaking Bad series and a slice of pizza on the other hand I fell a sleep unknowingly . The dream started in a place I knew well, College. Blaring loudspeakers announced that we are going to Jupiter, boycotting Earth. I thought it was a joke. Suddenly, we found ourselves on a spaceship, heading for Titan, a moon of Jupiter. The lucidity was real. We landed on Titan. Surprisingly, there were people there, and the place was bustling with colonies, Complex, hotels. Students were instructed to wear the ID card and stay at the hotel. Forget the sun, I was seeing Jupiter in all its glory. During the night, I don’t know how but Jupiter was lit up. Beautiful lights everywhere, Like a aurora in the polar region. On Titan, there was a place where you could take pictures of Jupiter and the entire Milky Way galaxy. I look up and see millions of stars in all their glory. It was surreal. I tried to take pictures obviously but wh
