Chapter 2 - The shadow.

Time: 10:15 PM

I forgot about the news before and immersed in the movie. The movie beginning was just awesome that I'm out of words. Who would believe that the main lead fell in love with a ghost that was trying to kill him. And just now the intense scene started where the lights go off at the lead actor's house under the plan of actress to kill him. I was leaning on my sofa, with cigarette between my fingers of my right hand that was leaning out on the sofa, popcorn around the curl of my body, Maggie and coke on the table.

Thudddd....

Suddenly the T.V went off and everything around me became dark. That was when I realised it was power cut. I was watching a ghost movie, and now the power went off. I immediately curled the bedsheet around me out of fear!!

Creeeaaaak...creeaaak...

Haaa. The sound of windows. I felt I can't endure the darkness no more, so I went and grabbed a candle in the speed of light. I was relieved, and grabbed a banana while going out to veranda. Everyone had lights lit up in their houses, but mine was not. I was wondering why and the steel door on the electric unit was open. I am watching out at my neighbour friends who are playing tennis out in the court in front of my house.

The banana tasted great, but in an instant, the tennis ball lost its way and got onto my face, my cheek went inside, I felt painful and the banana in my hand fell down. Simply I got hit by the ball while they were playing.

I picked up the peel, tried to throw it in the bin near the stairs, but I missed the target. Who would go and pick the peel again to throw in the bin. I'm too lazy to do so. I went back into home to get some sleep.

Time: 10:30 P.M

I closed the main door, locked it and placed the keys in the key stand. I turned back, and then I got to see a shadow.

doooom...

A shadow of a man, coming from my bedroom. The man looked to be holding a butler knife and a bag. I realised the person, without a thought in mind, I ran towards the main hall.

I am sweating, because that man is none other than the psycho...I am tensed, I don't know what to do, how should I escape from him. I was near the end of the sofa facing the kitchen. I started to hear footsteps approaching, and my heart is beating at the fastest speed ever, and I'm able to hear it.

I said to myself- " Don't worry krishna. You can handle this. Just think of a proper plan and execute perfectly. Your can easily escape." I started to predict the possible ways to survive.
