The End

He was watching a movie in a multiplex along with his friend. The movie was about to finish. Suddenly he felt so light and he raised from his place and went out. The door keeper was there guarding the exit. He gave a big smile while moving out but the door keeper was expressionless. It was weird. And then outside, there were many people waiting to enter.

He thought he was attractive that day but no one looked at him even despite the odd timing of his coming out of the theater. He was confused. Then he saw a beautiful girl there. She was all alone. But very charming and was sitting alone in a corner. He stood in front of a poster and started staring at her. It was visibly clear that she was looking towards him. He just kept looking at her and she wasn't uncomfortable at all.

Suddenly he remembered that he had come out instead of watching the movie climax. He didn't know why he did so. He tried to go back to the theater but it was too late by then. Movie was over. That apart, the door keeper was still there but didn't really care that he was entering the theater from the exit door that too after the movie was over. And everyone got off their seats and started coming out though none of them really blocked his way. And then he saw something which he couldn't believe. He was shocked. He saw himself there in his seat still & his friend was trying to wake him up. And moments later, his friend held him and wept as others watched in disbelief. Then he understood why things were so different.
