The Witch's Voice #2

-

A kind note to the readers,

            I request you to read the previous post once again before you read this one. Thanks.

    I noticed my grandma’s telephone that was ringing. I was shocked to witness that strange happening. ‘How is it possible for a dead telephone to ring like that?’ I doubted my own sense. My legs crawled towards the old phone and my hands were shivering. Having a little courage and a heart full of fear and anxiety, I made up my mind to answer the call. The anxiety to know the person behind the call drove my fear away. I slowly held my hand to the receiver and gently lifted it from its place of rest. It was as silent as a mother’s womb, like a dead man’s voice. A minute later, I felt somet disturbance inside my head. A voice, not the one I heard before. I closed my eyes to concentrate much deeper. It was a woman, a voice of a woman, a woman I never met before. ‘Wake up,’ she whispered from inside of my head. The moment I heard that voice, I was blown up from inside. I’ve never heard such a mesmerizing voice, then I felt something strange, my head started spinning, my eyes went crazy enough to drive me crazy, and I was off balance and fell down. When I woke up, I was lying in a place that was so familiar and in front of me, was someone standing with a bunch of flowers, throwing at me, the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen. ‘Wake up,’ said the woman, with the same smile. I was surprised, I remembered the voice that came from inside of me. ‘Am I inside my mind?’ I asked, expecting a reply. But, as soon as I asked, something came from behind her and pushed me as far as away from her. I was thrown into a lake full of beautiful flowers and butterflies, to my north, was there a tree full of flowers and fruits. It was like the tree from which adam took the apple. Under the tree, was sitting the same woman I saw a minute ago. She was sad with a handful of dead flowers with worms lurking all around. I nearly puked after looking at that worm-lurking bouquet of dead roses. When I touched her shoulders, there was some slimy liquid-like substance that came out of her, sticking to my hands and then, she began to swell like she was about to burst. And her skin started developing some weird cracks and more of that slime came out of her with a disgusting scent of its own along with some worms wiggling out of her. In a short span, the entire piece of land she was sitting on was filled with wiggling worms and that strange greyish slime with a deadly disgusting scent. While I was looking at this disgusting weird incident, I again heard the voice, ‘wake up,’ from a place far beyond the reach of my eyes.


Will be continued…

Dear Valentine

        Hey, have you loved someone? Yes? No? Okay. Never mind. No one can say that I’ve never loved someone. That’s coz, it obvious that we all have somebody in our life whom we love the most. It can be anyone or anything. Yeah, we can fall in love with things too. I think you can relate to this anything part I said if you’ve seen the bitter part of love. Here the love I mean is the love towards someone who’s magical to our eyes. Beautiful isn’t it? Being with someone who makes us feel special, who never fails to call us magical, yeah. That’s a phase of something great filled with excess dopamine and ecstasy. Fortunately, these both have some limits and they’ll drain out after sometime. Have you ever felt like, “I don’t have the same feelings for her or him like I used to have when we started talking?” Ever? Thought like this? Yeah I’ve gone through the same dilemma. But you know what? Loving someone or loved by someone even when there is no more dopamine or ecstasy is damn amazing. I

After clicking the publish button on the interface, she desperately wanted to close her laptop and doze off. But it was then, she noticed something strange on her screen. It was Instagram with a red dot on top of it. She clicked to open it. There was a message from someone called Javier.       ‘She’s coming.’      ‘7 nights and 6 days,' was the message from that person. She was too tired to think about that message. She just closed the lid of the laptop and dozed off to sleep.  The next morning,      The clock was running past eight and she was still sailing deep in sleep. It was then, her mobile started ringing so loud as it used to ring all the time. After a few rings, she realised it and woke up to answer that call. It was Bharath.      ‘What’s the matter? Let me sleep for some time,’ she said as soon as she answered the call.
