FALLACY – LIFE AS AN ABATTOIR; DESTINY AS THE BUTCHER

Description

A corpse had to be treated. Miss Fable decided to work on that case. No one was ready to take up a suicide case. The writer happened to be a classmate of the victim. In order to save Kush from dying, the root had to be found, also because it was a serious case. Kush is a sixteen-year-old boy studying in St. Patrix High School, Darjeeling. His destiny had written a story which he had to accept. At the age of four, providence betrayed him. Kush lost his mother. He also lost his father and sister. The reality of the story was always regarded as a fallacy because it was too tragic to believe. The story paints a delineation of life which turns out to be lifeless. “Is he dead?” was the question which repeated itself over a million times per day. The story says that accidents make you a stronger person from the heart, but perpetual happenings force you to blame destiny for its villainy. The villain of course is the rumoured hero. Kush lost everything but he found something out of that loss. That something was a story worth reading. A story woven by fallacies which make life resemble an abattoir and destiny the butcher. Life becomes inanimate, raison d’être, fallacy.
