It was a dark and stormy night and unfortunately I was not alone at home. Infact, along with my father, mother and brother, there were a few relatives who had come to meet me after my exams were over with chocolates and sweets.
Along with this, no doors were creaking, no unusual sounds, no blood drops, no unnatural shadows (except those present in the house and that too due to the candle light as the electricity was not present, probably due to the fact that the electricity board members have gone on an indefinite strike following no hike for the second consecutive year), no rain, nothing.....except for the fact that there was a huge storm as it happens in the month of April which in Bengali we call as 'Kalbaisakhi'.
Ok I hope nobody is liking my story for the simple fact that there is no element of horror in it and some genuine spine chilling moments which should be present in a horror story. But let me ask you readers a question.....is it necessary that a door should creak or some shadow should be seen in a horror story?????
Fine if you really want some spine chilling moments...then read on....... the day was Friday the 13th (another necessary component for a horror story), when we all were sitting at home enjoying our coffee and mini samosa and suddenly the cups started to shake....and a small crack developed on the wall.....don't worry baba it was just due to the sudden earthquake happening in this part of the country measuring at 6.8 on Richter scale. The force was such that threw off my pant and shirt from the hanger and allowed the small crack to occur.
"Forget the quake and concentrate only on your food"-was what instructed by my father, his eyes glowing white...................................again you shivered, don't worry it was not from the eyes, the glow was due to the candle light getting reflected thorough his spectacles and nothing else. I completed my food and quickly ran to light another candle as this one was already on the verge of death. When I touched the candle, I found some blood on my hand……..........feeling afraid I quickly ran to aunty only to find that she was shivering tremendously.................ok ok you don't get afraid it was just that the candle was red, brand new and aunty had fever which she couldn't understand till now...............
Well after all these spooky incidents, the electricity finally arrived after almost 6 hours when we were about to go to bed. The next day I woke up, I found myself changed...............................changed means a year change, as today was my birthday.....Ha Ha !!! .....................................................................................................................................................................…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Well this was what I did want to write after I was thrown out of the house by the 'OJHA' when I went there to scare them and take revenge for killing me years ago for a small reason.................................. taking two mini samosas from my master’s plate which I shouldn't have done as I was their (child) servant.
