The God

By Barenyanath Bandyopadhyay

This is the story of James or should I say, “The God” or “The invincible.” Leave it, there are too many.

James is a normal man who lives in California and is a policeman. One Monday, he was getting ready for work thinking “Oh, the weekend is over. Now, I have to wait again for five days.” While he was driving to the police station, he received a call from Robin, his friend and another police. It was a video call, and when James picked up the call he blanked out because he could see a big black creature which was, by the way very ugly. James drove as fast as he could and reached the back of the police station, where the creature had attacked. James was shocked. What the hell is this! It is as big as the Eiffel tower! Just then something happened, and Robin could not believe his eyes. The creature had swallowed James. “Wait, no!” yelled Robin.

James saw a purple mysterious portal inside the creature, and when he walked in, he was in another planet. It was like the earth. He was in a parallel universe! There were almost a thousand big black creatures like the one on Earth. James was running and hiding and tying his best to not get eaten by the big black creatures. While running, he saw a blue stone which was glowing and took it. Just then, James saw a girl. He ran to her.

“Hello, do you have any idea where we are right now?”

“Yes, we are in another planet.”

“What? Are you serious?”

“Yes. I am Molly and I am stuck here for almost a day.”

“What?”

“Yeah” ... Molly sighed.

“I am trying to find another mysterious purple portal, from which we came here”, James interrupted.

“Sorry, it is inside the big black creature”, said Molly.

“So, the portal can be inside another big black creature?”, James asked.

“Yeah.”

“So, should we go inside one of the big bla-, no!”, James shouted. The creature swallowed Molly.

Just then, another one swallowed James. Like yeah, they cannot survive by just standing in the open; among a thousand big black disgusting ugly creatures which are as big as the Eiffel tower.

James was in space. He was in space and was shocked because he was all okay. He was not frozen. He didn't suffocate to death. He was just, fine. “What? The Sun and the planets are as small as peas in front of me.” Hello, whoa! Who is that?

“Don't panic, I am a God. You are also a God now. You got powers from the stone you took. It was the devil's stone. It had too many powers, which no one could control till today. And you made it possible. You controlled the powers of the stone, and from it you got powers and you are a God now. Don't worry, you can return to the Earth anytime and live a normal life. But remember, you are a God now. More powerful than me and the other gods.” That's how James became “The God” or “The invincible.”

James shrunk and went back to the Earth.

“James”, Robin shouted. “How are you alive?”

“It's a long story. I will tell you later.”
