The cocoon
It wrapped him tightly on his exhausted body until his breathe decreased and get shorter. He felt like dying. However ,He kept pushing it away with his hands without a thought of giving up hoping to rip it out of surviving instinct .Yet, it tightened on him again. He is afraid to lose his strength .Meanwhile , he was swaying on a feet then another while trying again to stand .He sought a break of trying every few time , so he doesn't lose what left for air to breathe . It is still hard to pull it off even biting it by teeth .'' I must survive '' .He searched for weak points in the net to bite it more and get out.'' Is all cocoons like that ? ''
He was too late to make decision of attacking and getting out. Suddenly , a small hole has opened unexpectedly , he was astonished. 'Am I going to see the sky again for real? 'Meantime , he started reciting some verses and prayers he can remember from his childhood , repeating them again and trying to remember more to find most powerful verses. The whole opened wider as he is keeping reciting , praying and supplicating with good deeds he has done and all of a sudden one of his tooth dropped and screamed out of pain. He kicked out of what left of his strength to make the hole wider .He remembered his father once when he neglected people. 'All of us are strangers in this place. But we will live. We will in a way or another.''
''What place he meant? of course it is not cocoon .The world used to be more beautiful and wider .How did i wake up to find myself here?'' He sat down sobbing sadly for the condition he reached. He is afraid to lose his strength being confused. '' How did I reach to this critical situation? Who did weave my cocoon? Who did put me here? How did this happen while i am alive? How did it happen and my eyes are wide open? ''
His memory fails him. He can't recall how did it happen. His father's words light up in his minds : '' Every sin of mankind is committed will weave him his cocoon.'' '' Is it the cocoon? it is not threatening my neck?!'' He stands up again , the hole got wider and he tried to get out of it many times. He managed to get out of bit by bit but the cocoon is tightened upon him still. He kept trying to push it away with his both hands then he get thrown away on the ground. He looked behind him to see the cocoon ripped away. '' Where am I? '' He smelled burning smoke .Noises of crawling shacked the ground. He looked around him not seeing any human being .He got surprised of a cut head moving by its own after it smiled to him and crawled away. He turned his head in each side with horror.'' What was that just now?'' Hands with eyes staring and moving by their own looking at him grinning and crawls away. Hearts were bleeding on the side of street that bodies spit them out made him get confused and lost. He ran terrified when heads started to chase him screaming 'He is still alive!'' He ran toward nothing. Mountains are standing still in their places , so he ran towards it climbing rocks away from cut-heads attack. Hands and legs ran after him with the cut heads screaming '' He is alive !'' He cried out and was about to collapse .He wished to find anything even a shadow of human being to embrace him and comforting him with sweet talk. He entered a bloody cave because of body -parts attack. He calmed down when he closed the cave with big rock. He recalled his dad's words '' Stillness means death''. He looked around him and all he saw is dead creatures. ''To what shall I refuge? Isn't Allah is one? '' He tried to sleep because he is tired as if drunk .Thin threads are weaving around his neck out of blue but he tried to pull it off and yet they forced their weaving upon him like spider web ,It has no color , no smell not even a taste to be eaten. He felt hungry .The entrance of the cave being hit harshly with savages noises screaming '' He is alive!'' Qur'an has come out of his heart to be recited .He used to memorize it in his childhood to memorize it in his childhood.'' Is not he ( better than your Gods ) who respond to the distressed one, when he call him and who removes the evil , make you inheritors of the earth , generations after generations . Is there any ilah ( God) with Allah ? Little is that you remember! ''.
He has taken it as powerful verse to recite it often as he felt more relaxed then slept. Yet , he woke up next morning of noises he did with his hands and found himself in new cocoon again.
