Planet of Extinct

A few seconds later Mona found herself in an enigmatic place where she could barely identify the things around her. Her vision was blurry. Rubbing her eyes she tried to get a clear view. But failed.

Vague structures were floating around.

She stood up and started taking wary steps. She didn't realise when she started perceiving things clearly in the process.

"Violet leaves with the red trunk and what's with that size of leaves? An elephant-like creature flying around? Are you kidding me?" she was blabbering to herself. "Haha, now this is what they call delusions. I think I hit my head while trying to get my bracelet out of there. This is the perk of being a science student, you can diagnose your case. No, wait... Is that something I should be proud of right now?" she face palmed herself, being all irritated.

She kept wandering around the place. It was all so similar that she couldn't distinguish the way she came and the way she was going. At this point, when she was on the edge of believing she was dead and reached heaven, she saw a Dodo, which gave her conclusive evidence for her presumption.

"Am I dead?" she questioned staring blankly at the sky, which was practically identical to magma rather than the sky.

"No, not yet" Mona flinched when she heard the voice.

She cautiously turned her head enough to get a glimpse of an old woman standing in the shadows. She stood still but her hair flew around her. It looked like the entry of a ghost from haunted movies. It was at this moment Mona realised she might have been in hell, not heaven 😂.

Without uttering a single word she turned and started sprinting, only to trip after taking three steps.

"Wowoo, easy, easy little one. Am I that scary?" the old lady appeared in the air in front of her.

Mona was busy analysing how fast the woman reached her, not to mention she was floating in the air with roots around her when the woman held out her hand to help Mona up. Mona, being Mona, didn't take it, she stood up on her own and took her time looking at the woman.

"Mam I don't know who you are and what I am doing here. If you could please tell me the way out, I will be grateful. For the question you asked me earlier, you were scary when you were in the dark, but now I think you look okay" Mona said bluntly.

"What do you mean ok? I am one of the most beautiful women of my time," The woman yelled.

Mona let out a sigh in disbelief. How could a woman that old not understand the graveness of the situation and be bothered about her beauty like a mere teenager who just hit puberty? 🫤

"I personally don't like you right now. But still, you are the girl this planet chose. So let me formally welcome you to the 'PLANET OF EXTINCT'. I am the Saviour of this planet" The woman gave her a head turn.

Mona became silent. 'What did she just say?' was her only thought. She, right now, right here, heard some absolutely nonsensical words put together, that too in this weird circumstance.

'If this is a dream, you better wake up, Ms.Mona. Who asked you to watch so many fantasy movies? They messed up your circuits' Mona warned herself.

Mona again sighed "I think I am not the only one having delusions." She started walking away.

That woman couldn't control her anger anymore "How come you are such a rude brat? And this planet chose you? How annoying."

Mona halted on her track and turned around swiftly, "Excuse me, mam. You don't even know me, so don't judge. If some random person came to you and said the same things you said, would you accept it and think she is sane?"
