This is part six of seven part series "14 days, 7 prompts, 1 story".
This is the penultimate part of seven part series "The Otherside". For this part the prompt is to break some thing and then plan to rectify it.
In my story a man, breaks into two and then again starts growing the other part like in case of bacteria.
Again the standard disclaimer: Please don't mind "not so good" (sounds better than bad) grammar and I'll edit it after the contest.
Word count 894


Left side of whole body of Ravi starts stretching and excessive hairs on his body falls down. He is shouting and rolling on floor holding the left side of his body. Shirt on his body is torn then trousers are torn. Ravi is fully naked now and it is Tony watches it with horror. Tony hasn't seen anything this horrible in whole of his life.

Head ache of Tony has increased to an unbearable level, his head is aching so much that he cannot think or see properly. He gets up from the chair on which he was sitting and goes to vault. Brett is sitting next to vault who is again hallucinating and shouting at some body who is in his mind only. He is shouting in a language which on he can understand.

Left side of the body of Ravi, which was stretched starts splitting from him. Ravi, who was rolling on floor gets up and starts running and goes out of the office. Thankfully now in office there is little less chaos.

Tony takes out Remington 870 and presses it against his head but before he can press the trigger Brett snatches the gun from him.

"Give me that, I can take no more of this pain.", Tony pleads.

"Don't worry this is about to be over in few moments", Brett says seriously.

It comes as a shock wave and both Brett and Tony falls down to ground. This is the end of interaction of universes. Tony gets up from the ground with head ache gone and then lends a hand to Brett to get up.

"Oh my god! What a relief. So how come you knew that the end of head ache is near?", Tony asks.

Brett replies while he is dusting his shirt which is surprising as his shirt is very dirty " That was the end of interaction of universes!"

Tony keeps on looking at him without saying anything, he is thinking that probably whatever Brett said earlier which he rejected as hallucinations is true. He looks around but Ravi is nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Ravi?" Tony asks and then starts towards the door. He knows that Ravi ran outside in pain. Brett follows him with an expression of eagerness as if he expects a circus show in Ravi.

Tony comes out and cannot see Ravi anywhere, Ravi has also fallen silent like Tony and Brett. Tony is not sure what was happening and how it stopped but he feels that Brett was right and something like interaction of universes was going on and now that interaction is over. He is ready to believe what ever Brett had told him.

Tony looks here and there, he goes towards his right to where his car is parked but cannot find Ravi over there. Then he goes towards the lawn and it seems to him that he can see some thing like man in the mud next to the lawn.

"Brett..Brett, over here, I think I've found Ravi", Tony shouts as he feels the man like figure is of Ravi and it seems as if he is drowning in mud. On getting closer he can see it is Ravi indeed, lying sideways on mud with left side of body fully inside the it.

Tony pulls Ravi out of the mud while he is talking to Brett " Is every thing going to be okay from now on?"

Tony is surprised to find that Ravi is so light, he looks at him and is aghast.

"Oh my god! What happened to the left half of his body?"

There is no left half of Ravi's body but even more surprising is that he is still breathing.

"There is no injury mark", Brett observes

"How can somebody be cut in half and there is neither injury mark nor any blood"

"hmm.. ", Brett is again thinking something.

"Where is the left part of his body, lets find that and I'm going to call ambulance probably he can still be saved", Tony speaks while taking out his mobile phone.

"No need he is getting better by himself", Brett replies looking at Ravi whose left part has started growing.

"What is going on?", Ravi stops dialing the number.

"Probably he has gone through binary fission", Brett speaks.

"What is that?"

"Single celled creatures reproduce by dividing into two halves which then grown into two full creatures, this is known as binary fission"

"But he is human and not some kind of bacteria", Tony protests

"He was a human ", Brett speaks as if it is something normal."before he went to the otherside{/b)".

Ravi regains his consciousness and opens his mouth to speak something. Though it's little gibberish but still intelligible.

"What happened to me? Why I cannot feel my left hand?"

"Wait for some time", Brett replies.

"Wait for what?"

"To let grow the left half of you body"

Ravi looks with right eye to his left side and is shocked to see that not much is there on his left side.

"Don't panic! It'll grow, a moment ago it was even lesser" Brett speaks, then mumbles to himself

"Where is the other side of Ravi". He looks around.

A little distance away someone is watching them from behind the bushes. He has got only left part of body but the right part is growing alright.
