The Paradox- Library Round

Before I could blink my eye, I had a butt-load of books in my hand and I was walking towards a table. Instinctively I kept the books on the table. The girl appeared in front of me. She said, “Find the oldest Bible in the library in 20 seconds.” She vanished after giving me a heart attack.

It was impossible to locate a 1000 year old book from a library which had over a million books. Instinctively I ran towards the librarian. He said, “We don’t keep old books at display. Follow me.” He took me through a narrow passage and we reached a big room full of old books. He slowly started checking each book not ruining the cover of any book.  I had very less time.

I knocked him out and threw every book on the ground and then hurriedly searched for the oldest book. There it was lying innocently alone in the dark side of the room. Fortunately my eyes caught it. I ran towards the book and after holding it I said loudly, “I found it.” The timer did not stop.

The correct choice

I checked the book. It read re-published. I was shocked. With less than 5 seconds left on the clock I went for the last try. I hurriedly went through the book shelves. All of them were empty. One of them looked pretty old and broken. I ran towards it and smashed it with one of the books. Inside there was an old book. With a sigh of relief I pulled it out and said, “I did it.” The timer stopped with 1 second remaining.

A voice said, “Well done, you’ve won this level. Level up!” I vanished again…

Stay tuned for more crisp…

The Paradox- The Unending Staircase round

After the hospital round I was at the unending staircase round. I had played this one before. This one would be easy but again I was sure that the boss had changed the round. The bitch suddenly appeared. She had a baby, a bacon, a beer, and a bread. She said, “Choose wisely.” Read more

The Paradox- The Hospital round

I was escorted into a dimly lit room. People in the room started leaving. I was injured badly. My head was spinning. I could see two of everything. I told myself to focus and I started looking for clues. My surroundings hinted that I was in a hospital.

There was an operating table beside me. Now I understood where the dim light was coming from. I was in an operating room. Those doctors were going to operate on me. A nurse came in. I recognized her on the first look.  She was the same bitch that put me back in here. Read more

Paradox – The first level

I have to do this all over again. I thought it was going to be as simple as before but somewhere inside me I knew that the boss may have changed the rules and game play. When the boss had flipped his fingers I was standing in front of the empire state building.

I kept on walking as I did last time. There was an unattended phone booth. It was ringing. It was possible that it was for me. I went there and picked it up. As soon as I did that a countdown began. I had 10 seconds to do something but what?

The 10 seconds flew off in no time and the screen of the phone booth read, ‘You made the wrong choice kiddo.’ Suddenly my eye caught a glimpse of a fire starting near the booth and the booth was vibrating. Before I could move my legs, the phone booth blew off into pieces with me in it. I still remember the excruciating pain.

Now I was on level 1. The game had begun. If I made the right choice in the beginning I would’ve won the game before it even began. I could see vague shapes carrying me and a light coming and going again and again. Where was I?

Paradox – It begins

I woke up in a park. No one was around me and I had no recollection of how I got here. Who left me here? This is unbelievable. The last thing I know is walking into the toilet. I have my night suit on me. Thank god I have my watch on. The time is 2200 hours and what the hell? I’m sure it was 10th Jan the last I checked.

But now I could see 13th Jan what happened in the last three days? I have to find out where I am. Finally I could see a vague shape. It was coming right towards me. It was her, the girl responsible for all this. She came near me and sat beside me on the bench where I woke up. I asked, “Where am I?”

“You are safe.”

“Answer my question.”

“No time for that sweetheart. Come with me if you want to live.”

I knew she was not kidding so I followed her. She took me to a big building in front of the park. The building looked familiar. It was my late father’s late company but I also knew it was not real. Every time I met her I saw all kinds of places but in reality I did not go anywhere.

The Twist

She took me into my father’s office. It was just as I had remembered except that there was someone else sitting in my father’s place. His face was not visible. It was dark. The girl vanished into thin air. “You made the wrong choice kiddo. You need to get back in now.”

I knew he was not kidding. I was shocked and angry. This was actually happening and I hated that place. I was like noooooo not that thing again. But the boss did not listen and with a flick of his fingers I was back in the “PARADOX“…
