Future Lives: Short Fiction


It is someday in the future from now. I don't remember the date. I think I'm lost in love. I woke up to the sounds of heart beat, my own heart beat relaxed and alive.Somehow it felt it was no longer just mine...I couldn't fathom the connection...Is it from the depths of another soul? I don't quite get it...

7 years later:

So I started searching for the connections in this whole wide world...And found it hidden in some underground corporation's secret locker.They literally stole my heart. Secret waves link my heart to their console and it beats according to their whims.What is this strange connection to the underworld? It took several decades to realize my other organs were also on sale, a discount closed sale for the corrupt and the elite.Whether I like it or not, my whole being is in a love/hate relationship with these organ thieves, who fondly call themselves  'the heart thieves'.

It is hard and I need to accept this strangeness. There is nowhere to go and nothing else to do. Some poets say, all true love ends in death/dissolution. I hope I experience the bliss of dissolution in this life and dissolve the hatred along with that. It sounds tragic to hope for dissolution. I don't glorify suicide and dissolution is not suicide It is the end of a courageous fight that makes your stolen heart swell with pointless pride.

What appears as tragic to other's eyes appears as victory to some.The victory of a soul that didn't give up its honesty, courage and love, come what may, even to the destruction of this fragile body.There in lies the joy and exuberance of a tragic life, my friend, a triumphant soulful life.The point is not pride or victory. It is the longing and the journey itself that matters...the longing for freedom,fairness and goodness...Some call it the experience of God and some call it the experience of  a good life. But all have this longing at its core.

Who am I? A future citizen of this earth....
