The Bungalow Number 420 - Part 10

Roger stopped only after reaching outside the house. He was out of breath due to exhaustion. He had to get out of this place soon. Before he could run towards the main gate, the ghost appeared again. His heart stopped beating. He was numb. He peed out of fear.

"Where do you think you are going?", she growled. He looked around. There was no one. He shivered continuously. Every part of his body ached. "Where are you looking? I am talking to you.", she snarled at him. "Help! Save me !", he screamed. The ghost laughed. "Don't waste your time ! You chose this time to sneak into my house ! You should be aware that there is no one around.", she mocked him.

He wanted to hit his head. He should have come bit earlier when sun was up. He wondered what he wad going to do now. She inched towards him closer, making his heart jump out of fright. He knelt down with folded hands and begged, "Please don't kill me ! I haven't done any wrong!" She laughed. "You have ! You sneaked into my house.", she said after grabbing him by his collar and pulling him towards the house.

He tried to pull back by holding anything that came his way. Nothing helped. He was already inside the house. The door shut. His screams turned louder and louder. Finally the screams quietened. Morning arrived soon. Manoj was in his bed. He had severe headache. He had followed Rohan with no luck. He had found nothing. Suddenly his cellphone rang.

It was Rohan. "Speak of the devil !", he muttered before picking up the call. "Hello Rohan!", he said tiredly. "Hi Manoj ! Why are you sounding so low ?" Rohan asked out of concern. "Nothing ! Just a headache!", Manoj replied. "I have a news ! There is a dead man in the house ! Come soon !", Rohan said softly. Manoj was surprised. He quickly got up from his bed and freshened up. He rushed towards the Bungalow.

He arrived at the place in disheveled hair. He didn't even bothered  to change his night clothes. He found Rohan standing near dead body in pool of blood. Rohan looked at him with anxious eyes. "Hey dude ! I am sorry to bother you. But I really needed your help. Do you know this man by any chance?", he asked worriedly. Manoj got closer to get better view. He froze when he saw whose body it was.

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 ...
