Chapter 7 - THE DAY

The clock is ticking nine o'clock.He saw dead leaves in the garden. He went for a walk to the park but ,there's no one because the park is always filled with children and some old guys. But today the park looked like a lonely place to spend some time.He came back home.When he saw the clock he was shocked. The clock is still ticking at nine o'clock.He thought that the clock was damaged as it is an old clock . It was given to him by his grandmother.So looked into his cellphone ,it also showed 9:00 a.m."This cannot be broken",he thought.He walked out of the room and opened the white door. When opened the door there is no milk bottles on the shaggy steps ,instead there are some dead leaves flying around.

He started to walk along the road.He went to the clock tower in the center of the town.The big clock tower also showed the same exact time 9:00a.m.He was confused.He wished that it must be a unpleasant dream.He pinched his hand.

"Ouch!No it's not a dream".He decidede to go back. But,at the end of the street he saw someone standing under a large tree. He was curious to see who is there.So he walked towards the tree.He can see a old lady nearly at the age of eighty.

"Hi Larry",the lady asked.

"But,how do you know my name?",Larry asked.

"Don't you remember me ,Larry.I'm your grandma, Lilley".

"No no no…it cannot be ,you died six years ago".

"No my boy, I've been stuck in here for six years".

"But your house burnt and you got died in that fire. Even your body has been not found".

"Yes, my body cannot be found because I'm here"."But how you're here"asked Larry.

"One day I was upset as your grand father yelled at me and slept that night and thought if I'm the only one in this world and there's no one to watch or there's no one to yell at me.That night the house got fire. Every one came inside to help Michael to get out of the house.But none saw me. Michael asked for me. And I'm standing in front of Michael but no one was able to see me. The fire .doesn't hurt me.So I went out of the house.Everyone crowded the house but ,no one saw me".

"But,now there's no one here ,why?",he asked.

"Because this is the eighth day of the week.No men has stepped in the eighth day of the week.It's an extra day".
