Flight EK 666 - Part 19


She was standing at the end of aisle of the haunted flight. She had no idea how she was back here. She looked around hysterically. There was no way to escape. The dead passengers walked slowly towards her. Their hands were stretched towards her to grab her.  She looked around helplessly again. They were getting closer. Suddenly she felt someone push her towards the crowd. She screamed as she fell into their clutches.

She woke up screaming. She looked around. It was just a dream. She was relieved to find herself lying on bed in a small room. Suddenly door opened and her brother peeped out from the corner. "Why are you hiding there, kiddo?", she asked. Her brother smiled sheepishly. He walked closer towards her. "How are you feeling, Di?", he asked. "I am fine now.", she said. "What happened there?", he asked. "It's a long story.", she said, remembering the nightmare she had been through.


They walked towards the car he had borrowed from his friend. "How did you get the car at this hour?", she asked out of nowhere. "Rahul lent me. He was with me when airport staff called me. He was too tired to drive. So he gave me the keys.", he said. "Hmm! Let's go. I have had hard day.", she said.


The road was empty. They had covered half distance. Her little brother watched her take nap as he drove. "What happened in the airport? The airport staff said you had food poisoning. But you only had curd rice made by mom.", he said. She woke up. "What did you say?", she asked sleepily. "Nothing! Just thinking how did you end up having food porpoising when you only had curd rice at home.", he said.


"I don't know. But I am relieved that I don't have to take that flight.", she said. "What do you mean?", he asked confused. She narrated him the nightmare she had. When she was done, he laughed hard. She hit him gently. "I didn't know my story would have such a impact on you. You missed a flight because of me.", he teased her. "Fine! Your story did have an impact on me. But the dream seemed so real. It still gives me goosebumps when I think of it.", she said.


He stopped the car. "Hmmm! These nightmares! They never leave you soon.", he said in broken voice. She quickly offered him water bottle. He tossed it away. She looked at him strangely. "I don't need water. I want you.", her brother said in familiar voice. Tina was scared. "Stop playing with him! It's not funny.", she said firmly. "You will complain mom ?", he growled. He immediately changed into Tom. He was dressed in long black cloak. He had no facial features, only bones. He looked like a grim reaper. Tina tried to unlock the door. But Tom held her hand. "Where do you think you are going?", he said loudly. She looked helplessly as the car changed into plane. She found herself sitting next to Tom on the same seats. She blinked her eyes constantly thinking that she would be back to reality. But she didn't. She screamed helplessly while Tom laughed victoriously.

The Love Song - Part 3

 The road was quite empty except for few cars passing by. The radio played in the background while she continued driving. "Few more hours.", she whispered hoping she would reach on time. Suddenly the radio stopped playing. She sighed in anger. However she didn't try to fix it instead concentrated on the road. It was strangely getting cold. She switched off the AC and pressed the heater button on. She felt warmer now. But it didn't take long for warm to become hotter. Slowly droplets of perspiration formed on her forehead. She pressed the heater button off and rolled the window down. The car was acting strange. She decided to take the car to service station as soon as she came back from the trip. In midst of journey, the window rolled up unexpectedly. This sent shivers down her spine. She screeched her car to the side of the road and stopped the car. She pressed the lock button to open the door. As she tried to get out, she felt something pull her hand and push her to ...
