It happened
on my first chat. I was new to WeChat and was therefore interested in trying
out its features. I logged in with Facebook Connect and then went to see the
sea i.e. to pick a Drift Bottle. After all,
the concept was new.
At my first
pick I got a starfish. I had better luck the second time. The message was as
follows:
“ From:
Europe
Invite me home
- Vlad
”
The request
seemed strange but I replied anyway.
“
Sure. Come anytime but I won’t tell u my address. ”
I had moved
into a new apartment. There was no way this guy could find it. So no harm done.
I decided to
try out the next feature. I didn’t know anyone so I decided to find people for
group chat using Shake.
I never
believed that someone would shake his phone at the same time that I did. So it
came as a surprise when I found one. His login name was Omega. I sent him my
greetings and activated group chat.
I :
Hi, I am Amith. I shook my phone the same time as you did!
Omega: That no big deal. I shake all the time.
I : All the time? Who are you?
Omega: You
haven’t heard of me? I will give you a clue. I am neither black nor white. Some
say I am a man while
others believe I am a woman. I love everyone especially kids. I am everywhere and everyone worships me.
I : OMG! Impossible! Is there Wechat
in heaven?
Omega: Not
OMG! Its OMJ!
I : OMJ?
Omega: Only
Michael Jackson.
That’s when a new
person joined the chat.
Agatha: Hi,
I’m Christie.
I : Jesus Christ!
Omega: She
said Christie, not Christ. You are weird. First you think I’m God. Then her as
Christ. What next? Holy Ghost?
Agatha: Hey,
Mike, did they solve your case yet?
Omega: Don’t
know. It doesn’t matter to me. Can’t go back, can I?
I : I think they pinned it on the
doctor.
Agatha: Doc
in the Dock. It would have made a perfect title.
I : Any theories?
Agatha: Ten
at least. Each with a different killer including the President.
Omega: Gosh!
The girl is dangerous!
That’s when another guy
entered the fray.
DNA OWNBR:
Hello.
I : Are you a scientist? What’s with the
DNA?
Omega: How
do you pronounce that name?
Agatha:
Hello Mr. Brown.
DNA :How did you know it was me?
Agatha: Order
and method, my dear fellow. Order and method.
I : What?
Agatha: No
mother would give her son such a strange name. So it ought to be an anagram.
DNA? The best possibility was Dan. Choosing an anagram for a chat id meant
either the man was paranoid or a pure genius.
DNA : Ah! At last someone has spoken the truth.
Omega: You
think he is a pure genius? What about me?
Agatha: Of
course not. I was the last ‘pure genius’.
Before the other two
could protest, we had a new guest.
BAT : Greetings.
I : What’s with the name? Are you a
batsman?
BAT : No. I am a batman.
Omega: ‘A’
batman?
Agatha : You
mean Bruce Wayne?
DNA : Let me guess. Count Dracula?
BAT : How did you know?
DNA : Count Dracula was the original batman. His
sad tale is told through the comic series. Don’t you see, he was a good guy
victimized by the Church. Look at the various names of Batman. The Dark Knight.
The Caped Crusader. They are all analogies to Dracula.
I : Hey dude, one doubt? Why is it that
in olden days you feared the cross and now you don’t? I mean I have seen the
latest movies.
DNA : That’s because you have been using the
wrong cross. The square cross is the right one. A symbol of peace. The true
sign of Christ.
Agatha : I thought the long stemmed one was the right
one.
DNA : You are mistaken old lady. The long
stemmed one was a device of torture. I am surprised how few Christians know of
the symbols violent history.
Agatha:
Well, Christ was not actually being pampered in the cross was he?
Omega: Why
don’t we let Batty do the answering?
BAT : The square cross is the one you must
use. It is a sign of peace.
DNA : See, I was right.
BAT : R.I.P. The long stemmed cross is pure
torture. I hate it.
DNA : Then why come it is useless now?
BAT : Symbols mean nothing. It’s the faith
behind it that matters. I think I got to go now. Dinner is ready.
Omega:
Dinner? At this hour?
DNA : One question,Vlad. How do you hunt these
days?
I : Vlad?
DNA : Vlad the Impaler. Count Dracula. Its all
the same.
BAT :Its easy. I sent a drift bottle asking
for an invitation. Some fool will reply. One just did.
I : Oh!Oh!
That was the
end of my fangtastic experience as I felt two fangs on my neck.
I slept in
peace for three days. But now I am hungry. Will you invite me home?

A daring Englishman decides to pull of the crime of the century- rob 12,000 bullions in gold kept in two strong safes which are placed in a speeding train. The simplest solution- blow up the safes and escape with the loot using a racing car. But there is one problem- the year is 1854. So what? Well, dynamite has not yet been invented. So you can’t blow up the safe. And other than the train, the next fastest transport is a horse cart.
