A SIGN?


 On April 16, 2024, I visited the Army Museum in Lahore with my parents. The portraits of fallen soldiers on the walls seemed to follow me, creating an eerie atmosphere. I encountered a room filled with old, dusty guns splattered with fresh blood, sending fear through me. When I realized my parents were missing, panic set in. Continuing to explore, I came across a vivid train scene where people appeared desperate and scared. A sorrowful wax figure caught my eye. A cute angel that faced traumas and died a brutal death. My heart opened a river. A decorated elephant with arrows stuck in its sides left a

heavy impact. Overwhelmed, I couldn't bring myself to watch a movie about the army. Like this I went outside the museum. But I still wonder what was all that, the screams, whisper, cries and blood.

Was I just seeing things as it was a sign?
