Resumo de The Heights Of Creativity

There was a contest in to write a fictional story for 500 words max which
wud start with the line "On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay
huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Mumbai station"
This is the award winning story!!!!!
On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks
leading to the Bangalore station. At once I was held back to see someone in
that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the
front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was
blood all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless
blow by the last train could have caused the end of this body which seemed
to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could
see a folded white envelope which was fluttering in the midnight wind.
Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the
phrase "appraisal letter" on it. With curiosity rising every moment, I
wasted no time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details
about the dead guy. The tag around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal
cover gave me the hint that he might be a software engineer. I opened the
envelope to find a shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed
in flying colours. Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my
heart when I saw the appraisal amount of the dead guy!!!!! My God, it was
not even, as much as the cost of the letter on which the appraisal details
were printed.... My heart poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard
inside my mind saying "no wonder, this guy died such a miserable death"...
As a fellow worker in the same industry , I thought I should mourn for him
for the sake of respect and stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the
shock that he would have experienced when his manager had placed the
appraisal letter in his hand. I am sure his heart would have stopped and
eyes would have gone blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing
increment in his salary.
While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's
name in the appraisal letter... hey, what a strange co-incidence, this guy's
name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting. With
some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted
for a second. The guy not only had my name, but also looked exactly like me.
Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!!!
While I was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My
heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who
was behind......... splash!!! Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as
I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair
patting on my shoulder saying, "wake up man. Come to meeting room number
two. I have your appraisal letter ready"
