THE FRIENDSHIP

One afternoon, a couple went into the forest with their little baby boy called Lennie, to have a sort of picnic and also enjoy the picturesque view which can only be appreciated from the slopping hill, as they usually do every evening. They were going to their favourite spot today, unusually in the afternoon. The couple went in hand in hand laughing, baby on his father’s shoulder. It was mid-June; the sun was out and shone brightly enhancing the colours of the variety of plants in the forest. Wild flowers blossom in the sun and colours varied from green -mostly dominant, yellow, to pink and indigo. At some places the shrub was thick and dense under the tall, huge trees, and other places were just empty with no plants but just dead leaves. Animals of different kind made their habitat under and on top of most huge trees such as oaks. And it boosted many communities. A lot of chattering and hovering could be heard and a lot more, animals running and jumping, in groups and alone, could be seen, it was a blissful sight to behold.

Small and Jane sat in their favourite spot, under a very large oak tree, animal noises above and around them, were surrounded by thick brush and bushes. Jane laid down a cloth; it was pleasantly multicoloured, boasting of yellowish pink circles, and flowers of different petal colours ranging from blue, green to light red, itself coloured of light brown. She placed some homemade snacks on top of it and some disposable utensils whilst the father played with the baby boy. Then they moved closer and kissed for a while, held her and let go. Soon they settled down and started their snacking.

Up above them the sun shone and dead tree leafs’ reflected bronze. Birds soar high in the sky with their chat and squirrels jumped from tree to tree. Within the canopy of the near by bushes sat a lean boy who is in his late teens, tall, dark skin and sharp penetrating eyes with a small nose. He comes to sit here after working on his father’s farm, he likes sitting here, alone and listen to the noises and watch the animals run around. However, today he was captivated with the couple as well as the little boy – on the other side of the canopy. He could see them clearly, though they could not. He was laughing softly to himself wondering how such beautiful couple could give birth to such a shapeless big baby, just watching from where he was sitting, he could see the baby’s shapeless face and also tell he wasn’t going to be good looking. His parents were entrancing and magnificently good looking –with strong features. The mother was pretty with an oval face and a well curved nose and lips to match, hair of gold which falls down backward. The father handsome, suave and had penetrating eyes which held authority, with strong shoulders as well as short black hair

The boy was still spellbound by their beauty and the place serenity when he noticed, that under the oak tree in, which they seek shelter was, going dark and gloomy while it’s surrounding still shone, just for a second he thought he was day dreaming or fantasizing but it was real. Out of thin air came this strong sudden gush of wind accompanied with a breeze which made the body to shiver, sleazing and cutting through the skin into the bone as a knife does. The gust of the wind was ferocious that the trees as huge as they were shook from their root and branches broke and fell. This broke and destroyed the tranquillity and grandeur that was associated with the forest as animals yelled and screamed, including horrible chattering, fear and terror was eminent in their screams.  The boy fell down to the ground with a thud, hurting his knee, however he managed to get to his feet – rising slowly, his head lifting in stage, with ease and finally looking forward ahead of him to the canopy of the oak tree, and then was gripped with fear as he became aware of the horrific and heart wrecking scene playing itself out beyond. The family was covered by a thick black eerie fog.

As if there was someone present with them with a sharpened short axe, the invisible force hacked into them, hewing them into pieces. Blood oozed out from their opened flesh in, all direction and the chunks of fresh flesh, flew in all direction as well. The assault went on until there was nothing left of them, even their skeleton, which one would think would be left behind was chopped into pieces of bone, lying all around every where you look at, and their stomach content –liver, heart, could not be made out, it was as if some one sliced and ...
