SNAKES AND LADDERS (VIKONTAPALI)

silence.......( People grouped in the middle of the beach while the sun is setting down reflecting the sun rays are looking like golden coloured rays to kiss the earth of gold in colour sand watching the snakes n ladders game which harry is holding)

Adi: badump

dev and sid stood there watching.

(adi.... a faint voice) whispered in adi mind.

ahh. Adi looks besides him.. with a surprised expression.

What happened Adi asked sid.

whoosh.. The wind is blowing.

(wind blows... adi try it to open.. a voice said in adi mind....)

sid gazes adi.

adi looks on the scrap wooden box. umm let me try it guys.

adi took the key from harry and..

wooshhhh wooooshhhhh a heavy wind blows.. roar roar roar splash splash heavy ocean tides.... as they tried to opened the game box environment making noices.

dev: why is the wind blowing heavily?

Adi put a confused expression.

silent in the atmosphere.

ya. so let's start the game.. said aki.

Let's start the game said harry.

dev is dazed meanwhile.

What happened dev...? asked sid.

Dev: nothing.. lets play.( what is this feeling.?)

wow coloured stones... no. It's beads.. they are shining like stars. i saw so many horses which escort us throughout the game to complete it but i here instead horse beads are used. I never saw such colour full beads. It must be our grandparents'childhood time.. An antique one. so much old.. are else we cant see such luxuries look. what do u say guys.. says aki.

Ok. all of us settled now. i will strike first says harry while taking the dice.

Meanwhile adi took the dice from harry and rolled on the board.

roar roar splash splash.

As they started the environment around them is making havoc.

Hey let's eat popsicles while playing. here guys... says aki while picking the cover.
