Erudite Roulette: That Terrifying Moment - TM Pujashree, Infosys Toastmasters

TM Pujashree

That terrifying moment when you are walking alone in the dark and a shadow approaches you

That terrifying moment when you hear the TV switched on, but nobody’s home but you.

That terrifying moment, when you locked the door and yet, it creaks open,

That terrifying moment when you hear a baby’s laughter, but you are all alone in your den!

That terrifying moment when your eyes are wide open, yet you cannot feel your feet,

That terrifying moment when you open your mouth and see no teeth,

That terrifying moment, when you laugh when you cry,

That terrifying moment, when your parachute doesn’t open and yet you fly…

That terrifying moment when your teacher saw you sneak a note to that cute boy

That terrifying moment, when your mother saw you steal that toy.

That terrifying moment when your doctor made you step on the weighing machine,

That terrifying moment when you realized that the word “cute” literally meant an elephantine teen.

That terrifying moment when you read of an impending earthquake in your beautiful hometown,

That terrifying moment when your heart skips a beat because he isn’t picking the damn phone!

That terrifying moment when your mother informs of a small painless mole on her skin,

That terrifying moment when you pinch yourself but that nightmare wasn’t a dream…

That terrifying moment when your heart just wouldn’t stop beating and you don’t know why

That terrifying moment when you know you are unprepared to jump off the cliff and fly…

That terrifying moment when you are around millions of people, yet you feel alone,

That terrifying moment when you are laughing as you tightened the noose around your bone…

That terrifying moment when you survive in spite of all the fears,

That terrifying moment when you smile, amidst all the tears,

That terrifying moment, when you are chained to the bottom, yet you run free and wild,

That terrifying moment when you realized all the fears you had are just a fragment of your mind….
