| The Scream. By Edvard Munch |
I woke-up from a nightmare... I was trapped in a room full
of snakes. Throat burning, took a stroll down the dark corridor to get a drink.
Suddenly, I felt something climb-up my leg. My blood-curdling scream woke the neighbors up.
It was a frog. Embarrassed... hope for poisonous snakes the
next time I scream.
***
P.S: Time- 3.00 am. Wrapped up my studies and went
down-stairs with half open eyes. The dark living room at this ungodly hour was
serving party for a couple of nasty frogs hopping about our house. Stepping on
their squishy bodies and having them jump up on my feet in retaliation was not the
kind of thing to be expected at this time of the night. I cursed loudly, but
they were just frogs. And for all I know, they might be cursing me too for the
intrusion. Nonetheless, decided to scream my head off in this F-55!!
Good one, Neha!
ReplyDelete...the painting is a well known one for its having fetched the highest price ever...but I love it for its art(obviously I can't possess it:))
Yes, I was reading about this painting. It basically inspired the masked character in the movie series: scream.
DeleteThanks :)
Good One. I can imagine the amount of fright these things can give in the middle of the night!
ReplyDeleteyeah.. never walking in dark again :P
Deletehahaha, awesome!! loved it! even i am not very fond of frogs. and now i have to read about that painting after reading Amit's comment.
ReplyDeletethanks deba :D
DeleteOh that's scary.. Well expressed :) And that painting speaks thousand words.. Its beautiful.. No wonder it has fetched the highest price :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sonia :) and yeah, I just put the painting pic for fun, and later learnt it's one of the top prized paintings. My comic 55 doesn't do it justice though! :P
DeleteI too get such horrible dreams....Nice painting :)
ReplyDeleteNow thats a scary one :P nice connection between the painting and the post!
ReplyDeleteYour postscript disappointed me. Instead of a couple you could have 55 frogs! :-D
ReplyDelete@ valli, I've never dreamed of snakes in my life. Just made it up :P
ReplyDelete@Ash, thank you :)
@umashankar, eew, I'd rather encounter a scary ghost than be surrounded by 55 slimy frogs! :P
