It was a usual Summer night. The environment was beautiful and warm.
But being a lazy child as I was, my view was covered by my bedroom walls. How could I spend the night with my friends.
Being the time of Vacation, I was up till 2:00 in the morning. That's when I heard a screeching sound from the other room.
I thought it was one of my parents, so I hid under my blankets.
But Nothing came.
It was late night so I assumed it to be some rat scratching on the door. I shrugged it off and slept later.
But to my surprise, the screeching sound returned the next day, every day for a week.
I caught my attention well, so I woke up all night to see the cause.
But nothing happened.
The sound stopped after that day.
After a month, when I had forgotten about the sound, my dad came to my room, complaining about the condition of my room.
I was shocked when he opened my bedroom window. It was the exact same sound I was hearing for long time.
But that was Impossible. The handles to open the window were on the inside.
