Tales of Horror

Mom

He was eating his meal while watching the news on TV. According to the News Anchor, "A psychopath serial killer is on the run, and he usually modifies his voice to seem like your known ones in order to enter your home. As a result, folks should consider twice before opening their front doors to anyone." He gets up to clean the dishes after finishing his dinner. He was in the middle of it when his doorbell rang. He was about to open it when he remembered the words of the TV anchor. He had the chains up, so he takes a look, but it was rather dark, so he inquires as to who is out there. "Its me son, your mom, now open the door" The voice responds. He asks again, "My mom has gone to my uncle's home and she is not going to come back this soon." The voice doesn't replies back immediately as if thinking what to say next. "O...Oh son, didn't you hear it on news that due to some typhoon, all trains are cancelled." The voice tries to convince him. "No...I didn't get any information about any typhoon ! Seriously tell me who are you ? The boy strongly asks. The voice, "Why you are not believing my words, Son ?? I'm really your mom and I think someone is watching me right now. I'm scared, son.... Please open the door  !!. Now he contemplates whether he should open the door or not. What if this is all a trap of that serial killer to invade his house. He asks again, "Your voice doesn't match with my mom's !!. Another reply comes with a little voice modulation, " Son, You don't know but I'm having a little cold from this morning. So now stop asking these stupid questions and get me inside." and she tries to open the door forcefully. He tries to stop her, " NO !! go from here otherwise I will call the cops !!" And in the blink of second, all the shouting stops and he could only hear a faint gasp from outside. He slowly steps back from the front door and was trembling in fear. Only the thought of what would have happened if he had opened the door voluntary makes him mind numb and gives him goosebumps.

He was sound asleep on the floor while holding a bat until he heard a knock on his door again in the morning. It was cops this time. They inform him that they found a lady in her forties with her throat slashed open just a few miles from his residence, and the officers show him an ID that was clearly his mother's.

End....
