I was sitting lonely at my desk,
Striking my pen against the paper.
Thousands of words were decorating the page -
Dimly lit by the lone caper.I hear a hushed voice echoing from behind;
Jolting from the chair, I revolved my eyes.
Darkness of the room collapsed upon me,
And unknown footsteps from the stairs echoed thrice."Who is there" I shouted at the void
The hushness of the room once again screamed.
My nerves started to stiff, as my body was cold
Paying no heed further, I crossed the threshold."Who is there I ask" I shrieked again;
A sudden chilly wind gushed against my face
I feel a free hand on my shoulder,
And I see a red light ablaze.Two red eyes approached from the dark
And I retreated back,
Dozens of footsteps echoed in the dark -
And a silhouette appeared so black.No face, no form - a figure so void
Walked towards me with an aura of a dead,
I shouted with all my might
- being dreaded and dired from the searing fright."Who are you? Please let me go"
I pleaded with fright
"Do you not remember me? "
- I hear a voice cite.I was stupored with the knowness of the voice
"You shot me dead 30 years ago"
I was shaking with the sudden shock,
And the voice laughed with deride and mock.I started to cry with fear and dread
And a sudden pain was shot through my head.Blood splashed everywhere.
With a jerk, I shot open my eyes;
The pen in my hand is glued on the paper.
"It was a dream" - as soon as I thought,
A chilly figure embraced me from the back."Who are you" I asked with grit.
"You know who I am".
" No I do not" I said;
As the tredipitation inside me built,
With a sinister chuckle the voice answered-
"I am your guilt".
