The fourth war.....

He located his enemy and 'whoosh'....'whack'. The projectile hit on the enemies head. The soul has departed from the body of the enemy with that hit.

He picked up the projectile again and  then checked out the ammunition in his gunny bag.

"1..2..5...8...10.. hmm".

He then saw another enemy walking by. Tracking him he went just behind him.

'Whoosh'....''whack'...the enemy suffered same fate as his comrade.

 Ammunition was scarce at this place and that is why Captain D'costa hated fighting in deserts. He would have loved to fight on Himalayas.

In 2212 AD the world was now divided into two parts. One belonging to believers and one the other non-believers.

Captain D'costa was a believer. His great grandfather had fought in the third world war and that time the world was divided into fragments called countries. Countries don't exist now, after the third world war the world split into two parts, believers and non-believers.

Believers were those who believed in supreme power God or whatever they called it. Non- Believers believed in themselves.

Captain D'costa started searching the body of his just slain enemy but he got nothing except a diary.

He opened the diary and on the first page there was a quote-

"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein.


D'costa picked up the stone again and kept it in his gunny bag.


As he was about to turn.


'Stack'..., Somebody hit him with a stick from behind.


After the end of the war and the victory of believers he was declared a martyr and his statue was erected with a stick in hand and gunny bag of stones on shoulders.

The boy in blue sneakers....

"No.. that can't be right.", Andy expressed his surprise.

"You don't need to believe me, see for your self..truth is a truth.", Satya spoke.

"Vihan can do this?', I still don't believe it.

"Hm", Satya didn't speak anything further.

Vihan was famous in the park and he had those blue sneakers that too since childhood. He wore them to school, parties, functions, everywhere. Every year the same shoes since his 3rd class, only thing that changed since then was the size of the shoes. 

Nothing could part him from his blue sneakers the best he wore ere a pair of shining ones from Puma during school. Even the principal of the school was fed up with him. It seemed like those shoes were glued to his feet. He was the only one during his engineering that wore blue shoes and for worse he even went to his job interview wearing those. Obviously as you can guess he did not get the job.

"You mean he left those freakin sneakers for Tripti"... Andy spoke again after moment of silence.

"What should I do now... record a video of him?", Satya got irritated.

"what the fish man!", Andy was disappointed and even he did not knew why.

"I don't like formal shoes on him, that guy is losing his individuality", Satya spoke again.

4 weeks later....

Andy was sitting in his verandah. 

"Andy!!! I saw Vihan in blue sneakers again.", Satya shouted running towards him.

"Really..??? Stop panting like a dog and rest your bum on the chair.", Andy spoke pointing to the cane chair.

"I saw him in the market wearing brand new blue nikes",Satya grinned ear to ear.

"Oh man... I know what it means"..Andy spoke sighing.

"Hm... He was the coolest guy man.... never paid attention on any girl and see what happened to him".,

"I knew Tripti was a bitch... I knew that..." And spoke further..

"How can one dump a guy like Vihan man!".. Satya spoke looking genuinely sad...

"That's what happens when you lose your individuality". Andy said thinking...

"So our hero is back again.", He added further.

Just then they saw  a girl walking on the road in front of the house. They forgot about Vihan in an instant and busied themselves watching her.

"Wow...", She walks nice. Wish I could see her face", satya said watching.

They scanned her up to down and found her wearing blue sneakers....

"damn that reminds me of pain of our dearest friend', Andy said, "Anyways cut the crap I need to see her face let me try once', Andy spoke smiling like an naughty child.

"WheeewwwWheeeeww..." , Andy whistled his lungs out.

The girl stopped and turned,  their eyes poopped out in surprise.The girl in blue sneakers was none other that Tripti.
