The Dark Night

(episode- 1)

It was pouring down heavily. I stood looking out through my big glass window. I ran my fingers through my long, brownish, straight hair. I like to be proud of my hair.

The wind kept on howling and the trees lashed down each other. The leaves made a loud rustling sound. It was said in the weather reports that there’ll be heavy showers but no one had anticipated such a huge storm. Some of the branches broke and fell I looked at them and sighed, a pitiful sight. I tried calling my mom and dad but unfortunately all the networks were down and so the telephone just made kind of a weird sound. I was home alone, on that dark night and to add a little more to it the power had gone off. My mom and dad were away at my grandma’s. She was sick. I was to stay at home and study.

The black digital clock at the corner of my study showed eleven. Its red digits glowed in the darkness like that of a ferocious creature. I had my dinner (in the dark) and sat on the sofa which looked out of the big window.

There was dead silence everywhere, except for the rustling of the leaves and the howling of the wind, the tapping of the raindrops added to a little more sound. I took a cup of cold coffee in my hands which acted as a dessert after my meal. My parents were not at home and everything else was in darkness so that acted as an excuse for me to not sleep.

I kept gazing out of the window, with a tinge of fear and excitement. The moonlight shone on the trees and the wind howled. A little bit of it also showed mercy and thus lighted up at least half of my sofa. I was lost in my own thoughts when a sudden ‘Beep’ startled me. It was my phone. A usual thing ‘Low Battery’, a notification popped up to inform me. I switched it off and kept sipping at my coffee.

There was a sudden ‘Thud’ which took me over; not outside but inside the house. I was startled. Several thoughts surrounded me there was no one in the house except me. Who could that be, a thief or a ghost? But certainly I didn’t like the sound of it. I freaked out. OMG! I didn’t know what to do. Sweat trickled down my temples.

Stay tuned for the next episode…
