Knock

By Shahnaz Hassan

In today’s world the relationship, friendship, and all types of …ship, changes its color so frequently that an innocent soul – Puzzled!

Either to knock or leave the place, the innocent soul became “it.”

It entered the house of its childhood and was astonished to see or find the fact of being a stranger. The locked door with the sticker – “Trespassers will be prosecuted.” Okay! said the soul, time has changed, so the style. But, what? 

A dog started barking at the innocent soul more loudly than the stickers. Suddenly, the blood relation of the innocent soul appeared and calm down the dog and then the unknown soul of the house entered. To more unpleasant moment and movement of the house and its people made the innocent soul to cry – why you have come? Who are you? The “Soul” cried, quietly and then appeared a huge number of all unknown personalities into the house, the dog started wagging its tail and licking their feet and hands. The known soul, the innocent soul of the house became unknown and all ‘unknown’ became “known” to the house, people, and the dog.
