The Company

"Hey, where are you taking me to?" I tried to say but it could only be heard by my mind.

But surprisingly he replied. "Don't worry, I am taking you to your other friends." He creeped me out seriously this time.

By the time I could process this all in my mind, he put me down, opened the door of a car and put me in it. His jacket was removed from my face in the process, and I could see that I was in a spacious van as I could fit perfectly in it.

I get carsick often, it was probably the first time I could sit through a whole 20 minutes ride without throwing up.

"We are home," he said.

One of my leg bumped in the car door, "You okay? I hope you didn't crack."

"Ray! Where are you coming from?...oh! what's that thing in your hand?" His neighbour called him.

"Ray," I finally recalled that it was the same guy from the college.

"I...I made it in art class. I will talk to you later...need to put it in my store." It feels awful when people "objectify" you.

When the jacket from my face was finally removed I found myself in a dark room with...with more stone turned people like me. Even a girl around my younger brother's age was there. Looking at her, I was reminded of Ian. Among all of this crazy stuff happening, I completely forgot about him.

"Oh no! He needs to have transplant as soon as possible, only if my heart is still a human's, i will gladly give it to him" I again tried really hard to move but failed every single time.

"Lalalala" my phone in his pocket rang. He drew it out, came closer to me and said,

"it's your grandmother, you can listen to her voice for one last time. I have to discard your phone to some place far away from here."

He answered it, turned the speaker on and held it close to my ear. "Hello, Liv... Liv you there?" I wanted to scream "grandma I am here" so badly.

"You are crying somewhere alone, right? Come back right now! Our Ian has just got another donor and its a match too. You listening?...Liv?"

The first thing in last half an hour that made me happy. Not even my current situation was enough to make me cry but hearing this, I would have filled buckets with my tears. I left the hospital to end my life but now I want to go back desperately. When I don't even know if I am dead or alive. This guy named Ray puts my phone back in his pocket and starts walking towards the door leaving me behind with others.

"Stop right there," with all my might I shouted again.

"I said STOP,"...and he turned back all startled "Who said that?"

I exhausted all the strength I had to move and I ended up falling down on the floor. Ray was watching me with a bewildered look on his face.

"How are you doing this?" He asked.

I slowly started seeing flesh on my body again after being in a body of stone for a thirty minutes now. It was hard to move my legs but I manged to get up. The first thing I did was to snatch my phone back from him

"You monster, give it back," He was staring at me with his mouth left open.

"what are you looking at?" I said and hit him in his head with it.

"You are literally a rock headed person. MOVE!"

I rushed out and was about to climb the first step of the staircase when I was reminded of other people that he was keeping there to do God knows what?

"I promise I will come back for you guys and you too, so you better let them go." I shouted and left the place.

Reaching the hospital, the moment I saw grandma I ran to hug her tight.

"I thought I will never see you again."

"what's wrong?" grandma asked me looking all worried. "Nothing, is everything okay?" I didn't tell anything to her.
