She had a quick stop at a pharmacy then proceeded to the hospital. April was already running to her car, fumbling hurriedly with the keys she floored the pedal and rushed to the hospital, en route she could barely see the road, her eyes were blinded with tears, and she was deaf to the constant entreaties of the thoroughfare. Tyler on the other end of the phone was slightly disconcerted but he remained true to the plan it would all work out in the end. But these words that Tyler was telling her bore a deep orifice in her heart, she felt a cold sweat trickle from her forehead, she could barely hold it, and the tears burst from her eyes like a waterfall. Tyler, April and Matt had been great friends since college, they swore to be unbreakable and truly their friendship had withstood virtually every challenge a friendship faces. Tyler called April and informed her of what had transpired. The injurious damage to his heart was painfully irreparable, he was on the verge of death. The ‘accident’ took place and as planned, he was rushed to the hospital. The day was here The first of April, the day he would implement the prank. For Matt the kill was in the offing, and the euphoria of expectation made him tinge all over. When a lion chases its prey it experiences two kinds of pleasure the thrill and the kill, the kill which is the purpose of the entire chase is the exhilarating pleasure, at this point the lion temporarily loses its breath, when its fangs bury deep into the neck of its prey, this is the real pleasure. April incognizant of this, would go and view the body, thenceforth the real magic would begin. The prank was, per se, simple, Matt would supposedly be run down by a drunk driver, he would be rushed to the hospital, however, the damage to his heart would be irreparable, he would die of a broken heart(poetic isn’t it), Tyler a friend who worked at the morgue would oversee this entire phase of the plan. His theory was that April would be so distraught by his demise that on realizing it was a prank the dying flame of their love would be rekindled. This would be a paradigm shift in the science of pranks, for it is a science, an understanding of the subject of the prank, a series of hypotheses and finally a theory. Planning this prank had been so intriguing, all of his friends were in on it and they could barely hold their horses. But why such a deadly design? Their meadow of grass was withering and this prank would certainly revive their love which was imminent of a doleful end. April on the other hand was a girl out of a Jane Austen novel misunderstood, profound and to some extent philosophical, this sophistication is what made Matt so attracted to her, he would do anything for her, he would hold on to her tighter than a babe would cling to its mother. It had been a year since the conception of this devious scheme, and it would be the greatest prank in the history of pranks or at least so he thought. Quietus seemed like a mortal ruse, a joke by the gods, and that would be his design, he would fake his own death. As they sat there pensive and idyllic a thought crisscrossed Matt’s mind, what if he suddenly died. The two had been inseparable since college, their love for each other was like a meadow of grass, sometimes it was lush and lively sometimes it was dry and gloomy but through and through they had adored each other. He remembered vividly the day this outlandish idea had eerily entered his mind, a typical Netflix and chill weekend with his girlfriend April. Matt’s chase had evoked such a palpable thrill. When a lion chases its prey it experiences two kinds of pleasure viz the kill and the thrill.
