The Eternity Taker
Series of short stories "The Dots"
He died last night with crying eyes. His wife promised him that, she will bring him back holding his hand. "I won’t let you go alone just hold on my love." She told him that they will die together and live together hysterically. "Shelly, what are you thinking?" Tara held her best friend from her shoulders firmly. Shelly was not crying at all but in a scary silence. "Shelly speak up! say something at least cry. When will you bury Max?" Tara again asked shelly by shaking her shoulders.
"I know you are in deep pain. It will take time my friend. May God be with you. He takes tests from his beloved ones. Please shelly gather yourself, we have to bury Max. What are you thinking? "You have to let his body go. He has already departed last night with angels to God. Let his body also rest in peace. You will surely meet him in the next life." Tara was trying to console her friend in the best possible way.
"No, I will not bury him, told you, Tara." Shelly raised her eyes full of anger, anguish, and rebellion.
"Shelly please stop this nonsense get hold of yourself, may God have mercy on you," Tara again said.
"I promised him that I will bring him back to life. I cannot break my promise." Shelly raised her voice in rebellious anger.
"Shelly stop. You are hurting yourself and even Max. If you really love him, you will meet him definitely in the next life. I guarantee you, God’s love and mercy. Only God gives life and death. Do not be among the rebellious and ungrateful." Tara again tried to comfort and guide her.
"I will bring him back here in this world. I cannot wait for the next life." Shelly screamed viciously.
"Shelly it is not possible!" Tara tried to hug shelly but she pushed her badly into the wall.
"Shelly," Tara said with crying eyes.
"I heard of him, he brings back the dead to life Tara. I will take Max’s body to him tomorrow." She declared at last her plan.
"Shelly don’t do this to yourself. Do you know what will he take in return? Tara was shocked and frightened. "You have to submit yourself to him and we only surrender to God. You will be doomed." Tara shouted for the last time.
"Do not stop me Tara" Shelly said in a strange voice.
"He will buy your eternity in hell with him." Tara was terrified.
