DIARIES OF A LONE TRAVELLER EP1 : The Story of a boy, Maxx

 I am Maxx, just a regular 18 year old, living with mom and dad, here in Mumbai. I have just completed my high school and have made quite unique perceptions of this world- one of the things that is different and mysterious about me when I call myself a regular guy, though I don’t think I am!

 

My mom is British and my dad is Indian. From the stories I hear at my family re unions are that how my dad fell in love with my mom, when visiting the United Kingdom. It is said that he, being a business man, had to travel to the UK on his project. My mom was the daughter of a wealthy man, my grandfather, who was an investor in the stock market, and soon became a wealthy broker.

 

Recently, dad gave us the big news that how he had invested a major sum of his savings in my grandfather’s broker deal in stocks; and had his money multiplied insanely by ten times!

 

He has invested a huge sum on my account for future studies, wherever I want to go, I can, but will I ?

 

Since I became an adolescent, and my mind was at the right place of making long term decisions, I had stuck this wild and insane thought in my mind – DEATH!

 

Yes, I am so so much into science fiction; but better to say actual science, and have been an avid reader of science blogs and books. I have researched on every mystery of the existence of this world, but there is either no possible answers to them or there are indefinite theories, these scientists left us, mankind.

 

I have taken the decision to experience death- not because I am depressed or anything, but I want to discover what lies ‘BEYOND DEATH’!

 

In many mythologies, science fictions, even in science books, there is literally no explanation to what happens after death- which makes this thing more curious to me!

 

What is it that lies beyond the horizon? Another life? Repeat life? Paradox? Loop? Or even that someone just unplugs you from a two decade long VR headset? Or maybe there is really ‘Nothing’?

 

I had told my dad the other day that I am visiting some universities abroad as a part of my research in enrolling in a decent college; but I have some other plans- wild, fantasy based thrilling ideas that will lead me beyond…!

 

But then, how am I writing this story? Did I die? Or not? Maybe I hired a ghostwriter to write my epic adventure post my death under my name! Or maybe, I didn’t die and I am here writing this story on my own? Don’t believe in what you see or think— believe in what lies at the end of this story…
