Answers
I sat alone by the fireplace on my chair rocking, feeling the coldness of the night. All of a sudden the powers went off, I was also engulfed in pitch of darkness sending me shivers through my body. As I woke up to get the candle from the kitchen, my legs wouldn’t move a further it was stuck there in fear of darkness. I brought in courage and moved forward humming a tune to myself to forget the fear that had fully engulfed me by now. With a mild light of my mobile phone I started looking out for the candle. My heart was pounding, I could hear them beat heavily and strongly than before, which gave me the feel that I am still alive.
Finally I heaved a sigh of relief when I found the candle, I was about to light it when suddenly the phone rang, I gave a screech of fear throwing the candle away from hand which I had found with a lot of difficulty. I picked the call it was my mother on the other side. With a shaking voice is said “Hello”- mom asked me “ What happened” I told her that the power had gone and it had been raining here for 3 days making it difficult to move out of the house for the past 3days.
I was a business woman and had been busy all time. Since I was tired of my hectic life I thought I would take a break and spend my days in Ooty were I had hired a cottage to stay for a few days. My mom was in London right now, she had gone there as my sister in law was delivering her first baby otherwise my mom would have been with me here right now. This point of time I missed her a lot. I always had a phobia for darkness and it grew even more now.
The cottage was beautifully designed amidst of a rubber estate. We usually hired a different cottage for the holidays but this time since this plan was made suddenly I could not avail that cottage so had to take up this one. My mom’s call gave me a great sigh of relief and my fear had disappeared. I regained my strength again and searched for the candle and lit it.
I took the lighted candle in my hand and started moving to the living room. My shadow seemed larger than normal making me fear of my own self. I peeped out of the window; it was a full moon day. The scene outside looked awesome. The moon was smiling from between the trees which swayed heavily in the wind. The sound of the rain grew louder symbolising that the rain had become heavier and it showed no signs of stopping, which meant that I would have to sit in the darkness for a longer time. I went back to sit near the fire place. My own shadow was giving me fear. I just wanted to escape this fear so I decided to sleep with the hope that the rain would stop by the next day and I could go back home.
As I lay down on the coach within minutes I fell asleep. It was a loud screech which woke me up around midnight. The screeches brought in shivers to me. I opened my eyes and felt that it had stopped raining but it was still dark all over I light the candle again and peeped out of the window all I could hear were the dogs howling. I cursed them for that do they need to howl at this time only. My heart beats grew louder I could clearly hear each and every beat of it. Again a shrill sound of someone screeching loud reached my ears my blood froze was I dreaming or was it real? No it was real, someone was screaming loud somewhere faraway. I trembled with fear. The sound of the dogs howling brought me sweats even on the cold night.
I ran back to the coach pulled my bed sheet up and lay down trying to forget the
