Goodbye

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 13; the thirteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.

Goodbye world. I stand here at the brink of my destruction. Everything I owned, everything I lived for, has gone crashing down in front of my own eyes in last few days. I see them laughing, giggling, dancing and merrymaking on my expense while I sit here chained, guarded by the wary guardian who is now assigned to keep an eye on me.

I do not know what to do, I can run away now, but how far will I go until they catch me? And once they do catch me how are they going to react?

I can see them talking about me like I am a object, like a lion kept in the zoo. They stare and me, they tease me, they mock me. They are gobbling food like a pig making me watch. Oh the cruel human ways of torture. In this state they have taken pictures of me, which they will be showing forever and ever and torture me even more. I do not even know when this will end and I know it won't end in this lifetime.

I was the lion of the jungle, I used to walk freely, stalking, making friends, flirting and now they have caught me, tamed like a little dog who can walk and run freely, only on lease and only when the owner lets him too. I am done for life, this is my final goodbye to everything...

I am done for life... there he comes again the photographer to click another picture of me to add to his other miserable collection and....

'Smile and look into the camera,' she shouts, disturbing my thoughts, 'You don't want to spoil our wedding album'

You see, I am getting married today. Dammit. Goodbye world.



P.s. Just another fiction.

P.p.s. Goodbye is generally a serious and senti topic, so wanted to attempt a humor out of it. Did I succeed?

P.p.p.s. Goodbye.

Yes you definitely did succeed at humor with 'goodbye'.
Although the last line would've been more appropriate if you had written 'goodbye sweet freedom' instead of world. :)
Best of luck for BAT!

In a humourous way, you have made your point wonderfully well...it makes u laugh,bt makes u think as well...we human beings actually conflict on tigers n other animals by keeping them where they are not meant to be
