What if I don't want to title this?

"What would you like to become when you grow up?". We have all been asked this same question.

Yesterday there was a power cut after twelve. I walked out. It wasn't dark, for you could see everything. It was soft gray like the fossils and it was uniform. It was like a foggy afternoon, like partial solar eclipse. There were no odd discomforting patches of light illuminating a locality. It felt like underwater - the entwined branches of trees moved as I walked and the sky remained steady.

I want to become a ghost that walks the streets at nights, a ghost without a body, with no hunger or sleep or relations, just a ghost that sees, hears, feels, thinks and exists. Before that I have to prepare I think.

And then lights came back and I came back to my room. The shouts of cheer that had erupted the moment ago were all quietened. Everyone had returned back it seemed.
