The Crystals - 37 Cliche or not?

Zohaifa entered Crazy town with great enthusiasm.

“How is this town going to be? Of course, it will be crazy,” Zohaifa happily thought to himself.

But to his least expectation, the town was silent. All the houses were made of wood, each of them having a similar structure. Minor residences with a small balcony covered by a small shed. Everywhere. But most of the structures are broken. It looks like a haunted city. Zohaifa, confused, started searching around for people. It’s not as if he did not find anyone, but rather the ones he found were peeping at him from the inside. He could see them. But he has learned to give individuals their privacy back on Earth. So, he did not bother them.

“Is this going to be a cliché ghost story? Are they going to mistake me as a ghost too?” Zohaifa wondered.

After hovering around a bit, he finally discovered someone. But as soon as he caught sight of Zohaifa, he started running in the opposite direction.

“That’s so cliche,” complained Zohaifa.

He ran to catch up with him.

“Why are you fleeing?”

“I don’t know!”

“What? Stop joking! What’s up with this ghostly town?” scolded Zohaifa.

He stopped, and so did Zohaifa.

“It used to be very noisy, hasty, and on top of all crazy. But the whole situation has changed,” he answered with a frightened expression.

“I knew all along. Another cliche story will take place.”

“No. A horrifying tale took place. A monster in the disguise of a Cant comes here. Though actually the beast is just a different species of Cant. I still like to call her a monster.”

“Her? You could not defeat a girl?”

“Literally the species has no gender, but she is more appropriate. The trademark of the species is that they can reproduce and create a far stronger child.”

Zohaifa got serious, “Tell me more.”

“A member of the species only eat Aura. They eat them from nature, from animals, and birds. But they never get enough aura unless they eat the aura of a person. Whenever their bellies are filled, the rest of the auras are stored in the womb. And that’s why I want to call the species as She. When they have enough in their womb, they vomit out their baby. But instead of looking disgusting, it actually looks cool. Therefore they are known as the absorpians”

“You are weird.”

“I am just crazy. But since this species is so violent, most of the nations of the Cant world kill them at first sight. But there is a last surviving one. And a powerful one. She has chosen the people of Cant World to be its lunch. I mean, literally. She always comes at noon.”

“It’s not a cliche story, after all.”

“It is almost time for her arrival. So, I will escape this place and head home,” saying which he ran away.

Zohaifa sat in the middle of a dusty street in Crazy town waiting for her arrival.
