Johan looked at the mirror again! He felt that he was gambling his eye sight for a moment! He could not believe what the mirror had in it to show him! He was not reflected anywhere in it! The rear of the taxi was there, the ambulance and the crowding people around it were there, but not just him!

Johan relieved his hands from the driver. With disbelief, he looked at himself, the wounds on his body and the stained clothes. To crosscheck, he first waved his hands in front of the driver’s view and then closed the driver’s eyes using his palms. Nothing happened to the driver, like no one did touch him, nothing did hide from him, and Johan took his palms back in shock!

He realized that his physical presence wasn’t there.

It was the alarm from an ambulance that revived Johan from his shock. Through the mirror he saw a body being taken out of the ambulance and carried towards his home. He noticed the young guys walking the coffin’s helm. Sebi and Neville!  Their eyes were swollen and moist.

At once, like never before, Johan felt an absence; the absence of pain, wounds and restraints. And most remarkably, the absence of himself! He felt that he was becoming a feather! Lifted by a friendly zephyr, slowly he began to float!

End.
