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.
