Long sleep

Alicia's P.O.V:
Hello dear dear Alicia!
Long time no see, long time no speak .
I doubt if you remember me even......
Well , well how would you? I mean.....oops! I'm not yet allowed to tell you. Right..
Okay, at least let me tell you a story......
Once, there were two children, one boy and one girl.

They were inseparable. They held hands where ever they went and ate ice-creams together, without telling their parents.
One day, when they were playing in a park, the boy wandered far off from the park. The girl believed that he was still behind her, looking at the sand castle she was trying to make in the sand pit.

The boy , on the other hand kept running behind a butterfly, trying to catch it presumably. Like it happens in ninety nine percent of the cases, he lost the butterfly and saw himself in a beautiful place. The place was filled with astounding flowers of different colors, half of which he couldn't even name. He looked around him and saw a water fall. He rushed towards it and laughed when the tiny droplets of water hit his face. He was in pure glee.

The girl got tired of making the sand castle and turned to look for the boy.
She called out his name once, but there was no reply.
Twice.
Thrice.
Still no reply.

The boy, after what seemed like hours , stopped staring at the fishes frolicking in the water and jumped into it. At first he did not feel anything, but a few seconds later, the boy started feeling the chillness of the water. He squealed in delight when the fishes started to nibble his feet. It was ticklish.

By now, the girl was very scared and started roaming around the park , asking strangers if they had seen her friend. But everyone sadly shook their heads and said a no. Tears were streaming down her face, as she yelled out the boy's name.
She thought to herself that once she finds him, she is not going to talk to him for torturing her so much.
Little did she know that the boy was enjoying his time with the fishes.

She ran out side the park, onto the road , where her mother had warned her not to go without holding the boy' s hand. But this wasn't the time to think about warnings, she had to find her friend first. She could see that many people were gathered on the road, in a circle. She thought that the people decided to hold each other's hands and go about in a circle, like they did in school, repeating nursery rhymes.

The girl thought with her small brain that the boy too might be playing with them. So she ran and when she came there she saw the boy lying on the ground in a pool of blood. She shook his shoulders hard, but he did not respond. She didn't know why he was looking at the sky with wide eyes and not even responding to her.

An adult came forward and closed the boy's eyes shut. By now, the girl had realized that something was actually wrong and started to panic. A middle aged woman came to her, asking what her name was kindly. The woman then asked the girl her mother's phone number. The girl , in her fright , had forgotten that she wasn't supposed to be giving her details to strangers.

In a timid voice, the girl asked what had happened to her friend, why was he just lying there. The woman just said her that the boy was very tired and has decided to sleep for a very long time.

Then , there was the police sirens and a scene of total chaos to which she wasn't used to. She felt some body lift her up and it was her mother. She hugged the girl tightly and drove her home. The girl was then given something to eat and she was sent to her room , because the 'adults' had to discuss something important.

The girl lay on her bed , staring at the ceiling and thought to herself stubbornly that even she would sleep for a long time like her friend.

But the poor girl didn't know that her friend was going to sleep for eternities and never wake up. And also enjoy his time in heaven , playing with the fishes................

So Alicia, this was the story. Hope you enjoyed it and are left in tears.

Your (um I don't know what relationship I have with you),
Mr./ms. Asdfghjkl
(Of course , I'm not going to reveal my real name, genius .)

So this was the note I had found when I had come home. It was stuck to the door with a knife.

I honestly didn't know what I should make of this. The story was really sad and I don't know how I should be related to it in any way.

It was just so creepy.

Kevin tried to take a peep into the note and I just gave it to him .
"What is all of this supposed to mean?" He asked.
I just shrugged , absent-mindedly.
I was engrossed in my own thoughts, trying to decipher who would have given me the note.

In the end I just came to the conclusion that the note was delivered to the wrong Alicia . It was a pretty long and tireful day and the last thing I wanted to do was to worry about a note that isn't even supposed to be for me.

I say a good night to Kevin and went into my room.
But I couldn't sleep.
I kept staring at the ceiling and all I could think about was the little girl wanting a long sleep.......
