Genesis (Part-2)

Story:
Ethan stopped. Looked at the sky once again. The sky is not moving. The white parts that are transparent, are moving as if the sky was like an earth to those white transparent things to stand and move. He named them as clouds. He felt something, like a hand, touching and moving along with clouds. He named it air.

Then his thought process began to visualize a new theme. He went back to the people, gathered them, and showed them the clouds, made them feel the air and started teaching them..

"The human beings are the clouds and the earth is the sky. The people like clouds, forced with rituals and orders of the community heads that resembles air, move with it.But there is a difference. The clouds, couldn't think. Hence, they don't stop. But, it is a different story with man. If he wants, he can stop. He can stop and think. He can go in an entirely different direction. A billion years from now, these clouds may be moving in the same way, forced by the air in the same direction. But we, we could make a difference. We could think. We can discover new things. The animal skin we wrap around ourselves and the houses we build with stones are the same since the past thousand years. Why not change? Why not spread? Why not increase ourselves? Protect ourselves with new weapons! Should we be like animals that can communicate in only one language or discover new ones and move out. Raise, wake up. We need not follow the heads, who give us orders and whose son rules us and for generations, be slaves to them. Come with me, we will explore the whole world and where ever you deem fit, you can occupy and stay in that land"

Genesis (Part-1)

In the beginning there was nothing. In the end, there will be nothing.

Story:
Once upon a time, billions of years ago; When humans feared getting scattered away, when each and every human being alive on the planet, lived in a place, that extended a few hundred meters on all sides; there was a man. Ethan is his name. Always used to give shudders to the people by suddenly disappearing from the community, going to far off places and teaching people to not sit at one place, but explore. Fearing that his words may act as spell in the community spirit that the next generation needs to learn, Ethan was abolished from the community. Ethan, not knowing where to go, started running, towards the place where he always wanted to go - The place where the sky meets mountains. He ran and ran, there are mountains behind mountains, but the sky always resided on the farthest mountain visible. Then he got an idea...

Why am I running after it? Why isn't it running after me; just the same way I got intrigued by it, why isn't it interested in a person like me, who could stand alone from the community?

So he started running back. Towards the community. The air flow made the sky move forward and it appeared to Ethan, as though the sky is moving towards the community too and is racing against him. He ran fast. Faster than the sky so as to reach the community, earlier than it. He suddenly stopped. The sky isn't moving. Some thick white layers on it, are moving. Why? Again he thought....
