It was around 10 O’ clock in the night. Anne was returning home from work. Unlike the other days, shegot bit late to leave the office because of heavy load of work this time. The wind was strong but nice breeze blew across. The ambience was perfect for a party. As soon as she stepped out from her work place, rain started to troubleher. Thelightningflashes lit up the night sky followed by bolts of thunder. It was raining cats and dogs.
After a busy schedule that day, Anne was feeling exhausted. Her only hope was to lie down in her bed as soon as she returned home. Her usual route which she took to reach home was sadly blocked this time because the road was under construction. So she had to go through some other path to get back home. This new route was a very deserted path. She had to pass a graveyardwhich was bit scary experience for anyone.
A little while ago, she heard a rustle of leaves while walking. As it was the first time, she stonewalled the sound and continued moving on her way. Anne took it with a grain of salt. When moving few miles, she heard the same sound againalong with heavy footsteps growing closer. She paused for a little while and turned back but nothing could be seen. As she moved forward, she felt that she was being followed by someone.Suddenly, her mouth felt dry and goose bumps sprang up all over her body.“What shall I do now?“What is this mysterious sound? Am I gonna die? Is today the last day of my life”?All these fearful thoughts came to her mind as she moved further.She could not stop thinking of it. She walked faster to get away from the noise of the footsteps. Her heart beat also increased .Unfortunately; this scary sound did not go away but disturbed her continuously.Without further delay, shehad to stop again to see what it was .She felt that footsteps also stopped. She turned behind to look around but nothing was visible. She took a long breath and when she started to move this time, Anne sensed a freezing hand patting on her back. Once she looked back, it was terrifying to see that a lady clad in a white cloth,carrying a baby was looking at Anne with her bloody eyes wide opened.It was an eerie figure like a monster.
“Can you please hold my baby for a second?
With that scary sight, she woke up at once in the midnight. Anne switched on the table lamp and glanced at the watch. She was drenched in sweat.
“Oh my God! Was it real”? Anne talked to herself.
She got out of bed and peeked outside the window curtain .Rain was pouring down. Finally, she remembered that she had not prayed. Uttering prayers, she calmed her mind and went back to sleep.
