Asleep
Me: “Any response from Brain yet?”
Mind: “Nothing.”
I gasped, “It has been long enough since we discontinued BrainTalks. We need a new chapter.”
Mind: “I know.”
Me: “Why is he like this now? Before we started BrainTalks, he used to humiliate me for every word I said. Now, he is not even talking. Not even a word.”
Mind: “Maybe, he does not want you to write this.”
Me: “But why? Every time I try to do something good, he stops functioning, right there.”
Mind: “It’s alright, Cap. We will find a plan.”
Me: “Thanks, mate, you are being so supportive.”
Mind: “I have to. It’s my duty.”
I smiled. “But, Brain, what is wrong with you? Whatever it is, we can find a solution.”
He did not respond.
“Brain, I am talking to you. Have you fallen asleep?”
Brain: “Have I not been asleep since your birth?”
Mind: “That is not a bad one for a comeback.”
Thousand and two.
