REBORN : A Short Story

In the stillness of night, despite of face shield, his clouded eyes struggling with smoke and flying sparks. Though his back was swaying on his sweaty legs but there was an experience on his wrinkled face that relayed, the harsh heat couldn’t trouble him at all, past day’s conversation with his master still hovering around his vision.
‘For god’s sake, you’re almost forty-one. Are you sure?’ 
‘I really need to do this.’
‘Total madness! I’m telling you, who would join a school at this age?’

‘One who would have spent his whole childhood as dish-washer, amidst faceless city.’
