THE LIGHTER




The guy was talking with his friends while smoking a cigarette and having a beer at the same time. Instantly, a beautiful girl approached him from behind and asked for a lighter. He reached his pocket and hardly found his lighter and kindly gave it to her. The lighter was that big transparant ones which was not as stylish as a zippo and other fancy ones. He checked the girl and wanted to have a conversation. He spoke:

"These lighters are the ones which our mothers always use it to light the oven and its gas is never seemed to run dry. Therefore dear, we can assume that they are the immortal ones of the lighers' world. However, right now, it is far from its home and slowly dying as other lighters. In fact, if you have a good look at, you can see the blues in its fire and if you pay close attention, you will hear a sad melody coming from its tinderbox. Like a ney, missing its reez which it was broken away from." He finished his metaphoric tirade and agitatedly checked the reaction of the beautiful girl. But, there was no girl around. She had already left after lighting her cigarette.

Another wasted words - he said himself - had vanished in the air and took a zip from his beer. And after, his friend looked at him and said;"What the fuck are you talking about?"
