Awakening of The Coloszus...

It wasn’t the quite usual night. I sat on a rubble of what could still be called my room! I sat there motionless, panting! Such carnage didn’t quite stir my conscience…what did was the thought “what have I become?”

It all started with the spirited glass of vodka being shattered against the wall! Soon , the bottle met its end!! The broken pieces of glass just added the right amount of fuel to the already volatile coctail of rage and intoxication. Everything at sight was at fault..and justice needed to be served! Why? Cause everything was the reason for the death of Aglaya!!

The steel clad “Dr.Clest¹” was the first to repay his dues..His dark lair was spawned with mines and evading them I meet his army. A strenuous battle and eventually...I conquered the forces. Breaking through his titanium vault…I was face to face with my sworn enemy. 

My power seemed diminutive against the might of this war-lord! The world shook from its roots.. denouement of death cradled fists and destruction was unknown…but I was not here to die! A surge of resilience and he was on the ground! Crumpled and agonized in pain…it was all over for the villain who had carefully nestled the master plan for destroying the world² ! I felt…the purpose was met, but no… the war was far from over!

“Bedetro²”…the most fearsome and dreaded of all.. was waiting for me. Tall, dark and impeccably attired…he’s might shuddered the most fearless!! A battle of epic proportions…and no one was done yet!

 I was tired!’ Mind control’.. was his most powerful weapon, and I was going weak against such force. I fell to the ground! He laughed…”that’s all u got, u piece of crap…Hahahaha..some super hero u are” I was losing; his power had grown monumentally  since his last escape from my death grip!

 Wounded, tattered… I rose to my feet! I made my final charge…spearheaded him to dust!  A volley of iron fists…the supreme lord of the Dark Side was dead! Game Over!! I had nothing left in me.

I returned to my Den. Everything was more than usually calm… I was tired, and my strength was limited to just pushing myself against my wall to rest! Before I could blink, I felt sharp iron edges ripping me! Shuriken’s…damn it! I was bleeding, and bleeding bad! The shine of his legendary sword reflecting in the moonlight, and I had more slits on my torso than lines on my palm!

 Aaah! “when I thought Chinese was just fast food..u had to deliver main course?”

 “Lee Rom³”  was in front of me! Lee was the supreme commander of the 25^th rank of the elite ninja squadron! His strength was his agility and stealth! He was more real and lethal than his master’s whom I had just killed! He would walk with u in your shadow and before u realize… u would have no head attached to your shoulders. He wanted death as his only revenge! If u have never encountered a ninja…believe it when I say..they are fast..faster than lightning! Or u can realize it when  you are dead! I don’t know where the kick came from but I flew and broke a table. Swoosh..swoosh..that’s all I heard before I could realize I was pinned to the ground with metal spikes!

 He appeared from the shadows! His eyes were bloodshot, and the only thing that seemed more daunting than him was his Katana. Pure steel crafted to thin blade of death; He meant revenge and I had little chances to survive if I wasn’t quick! He was savoring my slow death infused by poison!

“No last wish for you boy….” , he swayed his sword and I saw death in its shine! There, comes a moment when you struggle to survive and fight back even with that last drop of adrenaline that’s left … cause you don’t wanna die.. I closed my eyes and opened it to strike with my Laser vision!! It lasted only a moment… Lee was burnt to ashes, and his sword stuck to the ground against the tip!

 Blood, tears and burn…had taken its toll...but I survived the night!

“Very dramatic and imaginative but not so convincing Mr. Alexandrov. This,’ just out of the comic book’ story wouldn’t help you much with the law or your insurance coverage !.... The nurse will dress your wounds and give you your scheduled pills! “ I will make sure you have an extended stay this time..Alexy, you need to calm down!”…scribbling on her notepad, my psychiatrist, breathed a deep sigh! She was a dear friend, and she was worried..

It was the third time this month, I had to be rushed to the ER! I wanted to kill myself, but  had failed again…only this time it was a little over the edge. My dependency on alcohol had ripped apart my entire house, I had flamed things which were valuable to me once. The real hero of the day however was the team from 411…who rescued me from the debris!

It wasn’t my liking for vodka or my short temper…it all began with a phone call, which ended with her saying, ” ..please get over it!”

As I lay on the cot…I realized something’s different !  I Knew…I was not me anymore,,,I had become someone else…something else…I had become The Coloszus..the Monster !!

 PS: The story only tries to represent the violence and arrogance of a person who feels compelled to behave in such manner ,for reasons best known to him, in the analogy of a battle between a super hero and super villain’s. Saying that, the pain and the suffering he goes through cannot be rendered as unreal!

“Dr.Clest¹” ...metaphor to a closet; Pictures, gifts and so many memories carefully wrapped!
“Bedetro²” ...metaphor to a bed! Diff.sheets, but same old stories of passion and love! Make ups and moments.
“Lee Rom³”... metaphor to Letters!
