Spent

In the middle of a long hectic journey, I came across a tree. It bore fifteen fruits. I decided to pull down each one of them and enjoy their taste.

I plucked one fruit from the tree, savored it to the fullest before letting it slide down to my stomach. I plucked another one and did the same. I consumed all fifteen fruits one by one, very slowly. This was a heavenly experience for me after a very long time.

These fruits were the days of my vacation. They came from the tree of future and got engulfed into the stomach of past.

These blissful fifteen days came and went. And my vacation is now nothing but ‘spent’.
