Damu And The Clutches Of (Almost) Death

...is held by neck, Damu strangles to escape from the clutches, but despite all his efforts the force keeps on increasing. Damu gives up all the hope of surviving and leaves his body to the fate. And suddenly... the pressure around his neck stops to build up. The music starts... the longitudinal waves hit Damu's eardrums. Damu is frustrated. He fails to digest the fact that someone can be so stone hearted to play music when he is about to die. The music does stop for a moment, but starts all over again. Damu cannot hold himself. He makes the move to find the one playing the music, but with his moves the clutches around his neck, which had gone into oblivion, return with vengeance. Damu gives up once again, and so does the brute force. Suddenly there is a short circuit in the Damu's cerebral system. Some memories strike him, the music still playing. He recollects, he knows it now. All is clear. Damu can now afford to smile, although he decides against. He opens his eyes, carefully untangles the bed sheet wrapped around his neck, snoozes off the ringing alarm in his cell phone and closes his eyes, moving into the clutches of sleep again.
