It has been 20 year since end of the war,
On Earth, between tropical monsoon forest somewhere in southern part of India(Kerala)
It is early morning now and sun is going to rise,between dense and wet forest in a cave,
The violet eyes are opening,it’s that bear grown up,wearing a unstitched Indian cloth called lungi golden-white in colour,
He’s having shiny brown hairs,and his posture and body shape is like humans
He just goes out of the cave watching the rising sun and walks down the mountain and reaches to the zoo,the zoo is not functioning now ,the bear tries to open the door but the door gets plunked out,zoo is having cracks on wall,and green and slippery footpath,no animals there he reaches to the cage where he was kept when he was a child he watches a man there the man gets feared by watching a bear acting like human and he starts to run bear runs to catch him but suddenly the man stop when the bear speaks out” stop!if by mistake my hand touches you with force your hand can break”
Man-leave me,what I have done?
