There was nothing in this world I didn’t had. There was nothing new someone could give me. I had the two most popular wants of the world,i.e, fame and fortune.

I had worked hard, day and night, to reach this milestone. I had sacrificed everything and everyone close to me to achieve this life. And till the last moment of my life the only thing on my mind was how to earn more.

‘Chris you promised!’ My wife exclaimed annoyed since I had promised her and my daughter a family time but had to cancel it at the last moment.

‘I am sorry Bailey but it’s urgent’ I had said and rushed out without noticing the tears that began sliding down my daughter’s blushed cheeks.

I sped through the traffic rushing to the meeting, but alas! Who knew that the next moment, I laid on what felt like a ground with soft and lush grasses and the voices of my parents, my wife and daughter calling out for me. I tried and tried to answer them, to reach out to them but my voice never came out. My head felt light, my body massless and my eyes heavy.

And when I finally stood up I saw a misty path ahead and a voice calling me.

I walked towards the unknown

Where behind the mists a light shone

Accepting my fate I closed my eyes

That’s the moment I regretted my life

And finally melted my heart of stone

As I bid goodbye to my home
