It's a story, a short story.

who finds centipedes as gross?

yes, it's story of real centipede.

Everyone knows there is sky, right?

Blue sky where clouds roams freely as air currents move them. But I am taking about night sky, which is black, although clouds are there, scattered in themselves. Stars are twinkling in that night sky. Moon is shining in white light. light is falling on earth.

Down there, there was a forest, a forest where animals and insects and many other species lives, their home, a forest with many trees.

There was a tree in somewhere middle of this forest. It is night time, but still moon was there, not full moon night, but still enough moon light to see things in surroundings.

Our centipede, who also lives in that forest came out from darkness of that forest where it usually stay inactive while daytime. Yes, centipedes are nocturnal so they come out in night time. Our centipede is not big enough to scare others either, but still everyone in world risks their lives to survive, and as food is necessary for survival, every organism go to find food, as our centipede doing too.

Centipede came out, crawling on that tree branch, as centipedes have low vision power, they uses thier tentacles to detect their prey, our centipede doing same. Moving it's tentacles around and trying to find it's prey. It stopped moving, it got smell of it's prey, now it is moving towards its prey in speed, reaches there, but now what?

What is there is another centipede, bigger than itself. And yea, centipedes eat own species too. Should our centipede get eaten by that bigger centipede as food for gaining it's own prey or our centipede leaves right there for finding new prey? Who knows what is best, what if our centipede decides to fight? what if our centipede run away? our centipede have two options, easy options, right? what to do there now?

Our centipede decided to fight, as it doesn't know strength of other centipede.

On the other hand that other centipede is bigger so yea, it has advantage over our centipede. Both showing their fangs or so called their first claws or pair of legs to eachother, if anyone won't pull back, there will be fight, fight between those both, but yes this fight won't be to decide life and death, this fight is for their common prey which both shares, both are hungry, both need that prey to feed their own self, to keep on living.

What is conclusion of trying to scare opponent by showing their size and poisonous pair of legs? It's simple, our centipede decides to retreat, as it lacks in size.

Our centipede pulling itself back from that unnecessary fight, saving it's energy for further night where it can find a new prey or if someone tries to attack on it, it can help itself to run away or fight back.

Yes, it's moth.

Moth, that can fly, lives in that forest. Another insect.

An insect who gets attracted towards light. Usually seen around street lights. Moth, it comes out in night time in try to reach the source of moon light or we can say to moon, funny, right? Yea, it's funny imagination, no insect can go to moon, but still they feels attraction towards light, I don't know why right now, but still...

This moth came out this night in this beautiful moon light, in attraction to this moon light, in try to reach the source of this moon light, to catch it, to hold it, keep it in own self, in it's little body, but even to travel too long distance, anyone can get tired, our moth too.

Bathing in that moon light, it tried soooo hard to reach moon, but can't be helped, it doesn't contain that power to reach to moon. Just like many, who knows even if they try so hard, they can't reach there, or it's just that place is not made for them, moth is not made to reach moon, and so those too who can't reach there where they wants. They are made to do something else, not what they are doing, even if they know, maybe it's called stubbornness of mind or what, it can't be helped either. Maybe it's little bit of hope (the word for humans to know what it's called, but what about that moth? Moth don't have much brain, yes, in evolution it still lacks development of conscience as humans, so what to say for them? Yea, just stubbornness), which keep them up to doing it, like they are just design to keep trying, if they succeeded, others will give their examples to others, if they fail, others will just say 'that place doesn't belongs to you, try somewhere else or just quit (this sentence is with anyone until that person dies or quits, quitting helps in nothing, but keeping up gives nothing as well, just who is trying only that person know it's pain, but it's not completely true, they are not alone, there are many like them who experiences same pain, some spits out, some keeps in, but what about our moth, huh? it's just stubbornness, right? what if it also had consciousness like us, like humans? Alas, it doesn't contain that consciousness, so let it be stubbornness, but will it feel pain? I don't think so, what about you all, what do you all thinks that that moth feeling pain of not reaching its goal or just nothing? I wanted to know too). What is true? Society already have their opinion sets for all, it's upto person to decide.

😂😂😂😂😂 Soooo much outer stuff other then our moth(sorry for outer stuffs, please forgive me) who gots tired and sat on leave of that tree to rest, to get more bath in moon light till it can get.

shhhh

Voice came from right side, but what now? moth was going to react as fast as possible in getting away from there, in flying, but now what? it already got caught by the centipede, the centipede who gonna prey on our moth. Centipede already injected it's venomous fangs in our moth who was busy in observing the moon light falling on it, making its dreams of getting it's source one day inside itself (not it's dream, just imagination of me, yea, moths don't dream, they doesn't have consciousness, so what to dream? Is there anything? they just keeps doing their own work.).

Our moth who got injected by venom of that centipede, still tries to stretch it's wings out and still tries to fly, still tries to get away, trying to survive, like calling someone to help it, like begging to that hungry centipede who is hungry itself, can't let go of moth.

What is there left now?

Nothing is left, once venom is injected, moth can do nothing even if it got escaped somehow. There is nothing left other then dying and getting preyed by that centipede.

shhhhhhhhh

Another voice came from left side, there was another centipede, the centipede who came to preyed on this moth but got a bit late by another centipede.

What a hopeless situation for our moth, but still even if they both fought and moth can get away, moth will still die, there is nothing to do left for moth. Our moth is done for now and for forever.

The centipede which came late runs away by its enemy who is holding our moth, no fight happened.

This centipede started to devour our moth, tearing limb by limb of our moth, that centipede started to eat our moth, our moth haven't been dead yet, observing the centipede to get eaten own self by that centipede.

But gradually centipede ate our moth completely.

Our moth is dead now

There is mountain.

Yes, mountain, not one but more than one, in other words there are mountains.

But I am talking about that one and only special mountain from where our river takes its birth.

That mountain is not big, not biggest and tallest in all mountains, but still it's special, it got choosen for our river to get born from it. See, someone with no speciality also gets choosen for different things to be done by it.

This mountain is not special other then river origine, but still if one wanted to describe it, someone can say it's beautifully choosen for river because it can make nice and beautiful rainbow at it's base where river falls in the form of waterfall. I can just say it can be done by any mountain, why only that? It's just random luck it got there, simple.

River originates at area between middle and top part of that mountain in the form of a lake, a lake where all mountains' water gets stored after rain.

River just starts to fall in the form of waterfall from end of that lake as it's boundary of that mountain. Water falls in the form of water stream, drops of water gots fall around like it's rainy season and rain is coming.

Water starts to flow on the surface where the river already created it's way to meet ocean.

River takes turns to cut ground and make it's way, takes soil from ground to far away. Water makes noise of flowing, get's passed to the tree where those events happened back.

In moon light, at night time, river looks soo beautiful and bluish in colour, reflection of moon looks so gorgeous and after seeing reflection someone can say that there are two moons, one in the sky and other is in our pure water river.

Our river is only place where all animals of that forest assembles and drinks water, but don't take it as symbol of peace because there are some creatures from river who preys others as well, this is forest.

Our river have riverbank full of trees, not only the tree where past events happened, but other trees as well where different events can happen.

Our river still just keeps flowing, just as time flies by and no one can stop it, our river also just keep flowing without any stop to meet ocean, to give back what belongs to ocean and it is water from which our river got it's form. It's funny, right? our river is just flowing towards ocean to give back the thing from which it took it's form 😂.

Such pure water going to mix with that salty water of ocean just to give back what belonged to ocean. River can't stop either, even it sees different scenes of different events like on that tree, it won't stop because river is not made for stopping them, river is just made for keep on flowing, just like time.

Our beautiful river ends after meeting with ocean, creating bubbles and form by mixing of that pure, sweet water of itself and salty water of ocean. Why river was there if it was just going to ead like that? It's just because it can keep ocean living, by giving back what belonged to ocean before and got stolen by clouds for their blackning.

But still our river gives habitats to many aquatic creatures and whole forest ecosystem a nice and good benifit by giving some water to them, river also do some side work other then it was created for or you can just say it's not river who do that side business, it's just that forest who takes advantage of our river, using river and giving nothing, but river wants nothing too. What a forest can give to river for compensation? There is nothing river wants but still gives that water to forest without any intention of gaining anything back.

River is like mother to that forest.
