Déjà vu

Genre-FANTASY

(Starring SHANE as the main lead and narrator
Tammy as SHANE’S girlfriend
and Dr. Kevin Frankenstein as the scientist)

The biggest embarrassment in your life occurs when you go blank in front of a gorgeous girl. I was trying my best to restore myself to that place, but my mind took me to into a parallel world. Brain is an angel, but the mind designed by us is a devil in itself. Its complexity sometimes fascinates me a lot and shows me its unique creativity. That day it showed me something which completely amazed me in a million ways. I started remembering that the event taking place right now has previously happened sometime. Somehow, I came back to my senses but till then it was too late because the girl was already annoyed. Do you have any idea what it takes to bring a girl back to normal when you are not listening to her? Anyways, I figured out that in the best interest of both of us; leaving that place and conversation was a better idea rather than trying to achieve the impossible.

That night I couldn’t sleep at all. My mind wasn’t letting me sleep. I was cursing myself for ditching the conversation with Tammy, but my mind was more focused towards “Déjà vu”. Indeed, the thing that occurred to me is called “Déjà vu”. I found it on the internet. Just wrote my symptoms and got the most complicated name and theory I’ve ever heard. I read many reasons for these kinds of happenings, and of all the reasons I read; none of them gave me any kind of satisfaction. Later, I explored that many people suffered from the same psychological effect. I was seeking the valid reasons and its genuine effects because my enthusiasm lied in a thought i.e. “how we can use this exceptional gift for our own benefits?”

Now, you all might anticipate that my thoughts are senseless but it does make a lot of sense; only if you are willing to see it from my vision. The conclusion lies in the fact that, I can see the future at an indefinite time in the present. But, I cannot remember it instantaneously. I recognize it when it actually happens; and then I correlate it to a similar event that took place in the past.
Confused?
Let me make it easy for you. I can see the future. But, as soon as I observe it; the agent from Men in Black arrives and erases my memory. The funny thing is that my memory comes back as soon as the exact event happens again. Now, the thing which needs to be look upon is, “how can we save our memory?”
Is there any technique or method to save it somewhere else?

Well, after reading plenty of books on human and mind psychology; and surfing the internet for hours, I got loads of information. After combining and merging all the theories, incidents, experiments, case studies and personal experience; I came up with ‘Shane’s Déjà vu Theory’ which states that
“We see the future in our dreams. The whole occurrence in the dream is stored in our subconscious mind. This was the prime reason we never remembered anything. And after a long time, when that particular event arises in reality; our subconscious mind makes us feel that it has occurred previously. For perceiving the future before it actually transpires, we need to get the entire data from our subconscious mind and it should be converted in the form of a video image.”
Despite giving such an extraordinary theory, I had no competency of building a device which can possibly record the dream.


Hence, for comprehending this concept in a superior way and for corralling the explanations to my doubts; I had to approach someone who was a genius in this field. A person who relied on the phenomenon’s which were beyond the bounds of possibility. The one who does experiments of science which can change fiction into reality. Someone who believed in triggering revolution in the field of emotional and mental constitution; and of all the scientists this world considered insane, I picked up Dr. Kevin Frankenstein as my ace of trumps. He is the supreme person, who will fulfill my bizarre fantasy.

So, I finally visited Dr. Kevin Frankenstein and told him about my experience and my desire. My theory totally astonished him. The guy knew what I precisely needed. He assured me to fulfill my dream at any cost and told me to come after five years. I was astounded and disheartened. Five long years for a guy who is impatient and over excited? But I had to trust him since there were no other options left. Still, I learnt something that day i.e. ‘to acquire the unattainable, you should have the will to faith’.

3 YEARS LATER
I am active on facebook and doing the same old stuff i.e. adding random people specially ‘girls’. Wait! Actually all of them are girls. Suddenly, I receive a message on my mobile. It is from an unfamiliar number and as usual I’m getting Goosebumps because I’m assuming the sender to be a girl. Did u ever have a feeling of dismay and delight at the same time? Because she wasn’t a girl but, the sender was none other than Dr. Kevin Frankenstein. The great one wrote as I quote
“Shane
After the hard work of three struggling years, I have certainly invented it before the scheduled span of five years. Come and get it son.”




If Selena Gomez would have proposed me today, I wouldn’t have got as blissful as I am right now. Even Cloud Nine was beneath my feet. After getting this machine, I will command my fate; and I’m going to build my own destiny. The key to the future lies in my hand. I will never disclose this technology to the world, because I want to take the pleasure from almighty’s endowment immortally. Moreover, it might go in corrupt hands and could be misused. People may use it for aiding the society, the deprived; for assisting their country; for terminating a calamity; for taking discretion during hazards and disasters. But social service isn’t my cup of tea. I am narcissistic and proud of it. And from this very moment, I am going to live a life of a king.

I went to the secluded workshop of Dr. Kevin Frankenstein and noticed him standing near a machine. He had a devil smile on his face. Kevin asked me behold the machine until he comes back from some work. I rushed towards the device and started examining it without any understanding of the machine.
Suddenly, my mind went blank again. I became aware of the fact that this event has taken place earlier. Holy mother of God! This was Déjà vu. And I recalled that in the end someone……
I heard a gunshot and there was a black out in front of my eyes. I couldn’t feel my head. Later, when I retrieved my vision up to a certain extent; I saw a guy holding a gun. Upon the clearance of the smoke in the air; it was finally revealed that the guy was none other than Dr. Kevin Frankenstein.

I was a victim of my own stupidity. Kevin would have never made this device without my theory. I promised to myself that I won’t proclaim this revolutionary tool to anyone, but I forgot that Kevin took the same oath. I placed confidence in the fallacious guy. All the dreams and aspirations shattered. Regret surrounded my hoggish mind. I was born proficient but got executed before I could receive a Non- Noble Prize. My endeavor was ineffectual. The pursuit to procure the impossible has lastly ended. These were the last moments of my immature life. I listened to his footsteps coming near me. And, finally he said the last three words to me.
“GO TO HELL”.

THE END.
