Ever since Rohan returned from the day’s play, his father, Sanjeev, was tensed. The circular scar on the 7 year old Rohan’s ankle was unique. His behaviour too had drastically changed within an hour. He wasn’t able to understand the lapse of time. He kept on mumbling, “But I just now went out to play...”

​

“It’s three hours already, Rohan.” His grandfather condemned.

​

“That’s fine. Pa. You go for your routine walk.” Sanjeev told his father and took his son aside.

​

“Rohan, did you see anything?”

​

Scared, he nodded, but looking at his strict grandparents nearby, he blabbered, “Saw too much of light filled cubicle where many grey coloured hairless humanoids played doctor-doctor.”

​

It was it! Sanjeev understood that his son got touched by a “Special Entity”.

​

“...and left a mark on the experiment.” Sanjeev completed Rohan’s incomplete words as he showed his heel that too had a dark patch.
