A regular break from work in the other world
A typical office in the other world. A typical lounge. A typical work day. A typical break from their routine work and a typical wailing session between two elderly employees. They were found holding each other and comforting each other.
"Why, just why don't our children let us live in peace?", One said.
"I never thought they wud worry me so much, from as far as the other world", said the other.
"Seriously, how can they hurt each other in our pretext, and expect us to approve it?"
"Just when I thot they were learning to live with one another in peace and harmony, someone or the other rakes up the issue, as a case or a judgement, the media flares it up and the others make all the disturbance. Why does it have to go on for ages like this?"
"A few think they are better than the rest. Some keep looking for opportunities to create disturbances among the rest. Some keep craving for so called positions of power"
"No one seems to know the purpose of their existance. Some gave us names. Some others think the sole purpose of their existence is to keep praying and chanting our names."
"Isn't it simple to understand, if all that we wanted was to give us names and keep spending their lives chanting and praying to us, why would we create them on earth?"
"I mean, if half the time spent on searching for their creators or chanting and praying was spent on living with each other and making life better for themselves, wouldn't that be a life well lived? Why is it so tough to see this point?"
"We had created them on earth for a purpose, haven't we? That, together, these ppl can create miracles that even our boss can't create, right? How do we make them realize this?"
"They pray to us to solve their problems. Who do we pray to, to get this solved? Even the boss doesn't seem to know a solution."
"Don't u think this break has stretched a tad too long?", The boss's voice thundered in the lounge, "Get back to work. There are too many prayers for help, a good backlog of creations and we are too short on staff."
And thus resumed the rest of their work day.
p.s.:- Lying idle inside their closets were found a bow and an arrow, and a book wrapped in a clean green satin cloth.
