THE GHOST IN THE ATTIC

The moment I entered the pitch black room, rustling noise was as clear as cry of baby in an empty room. I was hearing the beats of my life slowly fading away.

Since it was my grandma's house, parents left me here telling me to stay for some days so they can focus on work. Truth was that since my mom remarried they just wanted to get rid of me. The home that seemed like a thousand years old tree branch was home of me forever alive totally weird grandma. Something about her was always bothering. Her nature is good that I accept yet a tinge of creep always paved the path for new horror just by exchanging a glance with her.

I was told to live upstairs in an old attic. The first night was well versed with what my thoughts told me, totally creepy. Worst happened when the moment I woke up from a nightmare, the sound of trees dancing with the figure of my grandma was in front of me. I was too freaked out to say anything and suddenly my shock choked my mind until I went into blackout.

The next morning I called my parents but nobody answered all the century of calls I had done. Nothing was left for me but to sleep again in that ghostly attic, the most haunted room I have ever been. 

So here I am in this midnight thinking all the possible ways for suicide. Because the lamppost has no electricity in it. Trees are rumbling with least air flowing outside. The doll in the corner is constantly glaring at me and every moment i take my eyes off it seems to advance a centimetre. The closet which had been closed for three days has suddenly opened. The bedsheet is moist as though it is sucking water from somewhere.

 Suddenly as I blinked, a cloth covering something was on my bed. It was do or a die situation. My whole body was freezing cold, hands shaking, heartbeat at its highest beats per second and hairs on my body became a thorn. I slowly held the cloth in front of me. Suddenly trees stoped, closet closed, electricity died, and their was pin drop silent in the room. I counted to three and the moment I pulled the cloth, I died. 

Three days later i found myself at the hospital. The doctor informed me that I was unconscious since three days. I reached back to my gandma house thinking the moment she will tell me to sleep in the attic, I will commit suicide but to my surprise, THE HOUSE NEVER HAD AN ATTIC. 

The BARREN LAND

On the mountains where not a weed has reached, where rain has not yet landed. Over those barren land, i want to land. But to reach there, i will have to face loads of obstacles. That land of nothing, no sound, no people and more importantly, no feelings. It hurts climbing to the top. Abuse shaped gravel are falling on me. People shaped pocky stones are scratching my legs making the blood of happiness come out and the ashes of sadness to fill in its place. Yet i know i have to climb, yet i have to reach the place to find the real me. I have to reach that place , where their is no rain. 

VOID

Nothing but pure black! Was it a dream or was it something above it. 

January 28, 2036: He went to search for the greatness that he can never find on this earth. He was always fascinated by the darkness of this universe, which he thought, is hiding something far deeper and darker than the darkness. Everyone of his mates tried to find some light in this dark universe but for him, the darkness was his light. His whole life went into researching the ways to extract the secrets of black hole but he felt that he could never get the reality from outside the box. Only this time, he has to go in. With his knowledge he guided to build a special aircraft that was capable of getting in that mass without being destroyed.

March 16,2040: He was in that spaceship with nothing but his confidence. The engine growled, skies filled with smoke, he lifted off. Yes he was confident but still he was scared enough. Two months passed and he was close enough to a giant mass of undiscovered secrets. Excitment was all over his mind and the only thing he was seeking was the secrets beyond the darkness.

June 1, 2040: Everything was ready and he was prepared. The magnetic force was being felt even inside the cabin. The moment came and he went inside with full force. While entering he could feel the gravitational force pulling him with all the might. His speed was not enough to repel the force thus he switched it off and went inside with the flow of it. He didn't understand when he was totally blackedout.

June ??, ????: He woke up inside the cabin whose exterior was too much damaged. But he was happy that at least it didn't broke. What he could see outside was just endless void with nothing but silence. Neither he was able to see anything nor he was able to hear himself. No electrical device was working. A mixture of happiness, excitment and fear was gushing through his mind. Suddenly he felt that he was being pulled towards something. He knew what wormhole, blackhole, time travel was. But he never knew how they worked. He thought that he was going towards another dimension. But when he went inside the light, he could never beilieved what he saw!! 

MYTH

"Are you okay?" asked jenny. Although she herself was too scared to walk through the path she never wanted to but the hope that her mother would be waiting the gifts she promised two years back. While everyone said that she is dead but for jenny, dream was her only hope.

Everyone in the village feared the path. Noone ever got to know what was the thing present there but still for just an idiotic dream she can present her life on line. Neither the villagers mattered nor her younger sister's words. She being fearless and lively, her sister was saddist. She always searched for hope but on the other hand her sister always brought the worst possible happenings. 

According to those villagers, on the path there was the thing waiting always for someone to meet and murder. But nothing mattered now because she already was inside the forest. She managed to cool down her sister but only her heart knew what was she going on with. Her nerves tightened whenever she heard a slight sound, her voice slimmed, her heartbeat increased and her body stopped because whatever she saw in front of her was not of the world she was living in. 4 hands? Impossible. 1 eyes, how is that possible. Her sister fainted the moment she saw that thing. The wiered noise asking to come closer. She was feeling strange about it but her eyes never wanted to believe her mind. Her legs neglected to move, beads of perspiration was all over her head, she was all white and her whole body was trembling. But again something clicked in her mind that beyond the path was the city where her mother would be waiting for her. She thought to call her but the network decieved her. 

She gave herself a tight slap and stopped thinking all the impossibilities. Slowely, one step and then another she gained control over herself and started moving towards that thing because all she could see was that it was calling her but not moving towards her. When she reached, to her amazement that was just a tree and that tape recorder was what making that noise. She also saw that beside the tree were kept a box. Now everything was clear. She broke the box and carried her sister to the end of the path. Now she knew that the thing was nothing but a tree. And the fear was nothing but the thoughts that the villagers put in her mind.

REGRET IS ALL YOU LEFT

Walking in the midsts of same Deserted path with no one by my side, i still regret to leave you alone on the cross where we could have built our future, where i destroyed my life.

Not so long it happened when i fell for you. Maybe you knew, off course you did. But how foolish I am that i never understood what you mean't. You longed for understanding and I longed for sex. How much idiotic I can be, I still regret. I still regret what I said, I still regret why I said, because those last words, that you said, where meant to be your love and i named it as your hatred. 

This was the same path where we decided our life, where we planned our future, our children's names, our home, our jobs and our generations. This was the same path where we decided to love each other for eternity. But it was me, who mistaked your love to be lust.

I remember everything you promised, everything you said, everything you scolded for, and everything you gave up for me. But it was me, who made it a headache rather than feeling it as love.

If only I could have held you and said" No, I am not leaving you alone", if I would have said" Baby, I am always with you", you would have been here walking by my side, holding my hand. Now you are no more and only thing I have is regret. I could have stopped it if I would have understood your last words, the last words which said" Forget me, i am going to my home".
