A Vision

A bed time story

"Papa please tell me a story. I'll not sleep until you narrate a story to me. Please papa please." Ashutosh's daughter said.

"Ok dear. But promise me you'll sleep after this." Ashutosh spoke.

Done papa.

Ashutosh begins with his story...

That was a new place for me. You were just born and I had to leave you and your mother alone that too in vacations. But I could do nothing, I had to go. There were continues meetings in Assam so I had to go for one week. I had no place to stay and all the resorts were full because of summer break.

The very first day I reached Assam and joined the meeting. After the meeting I had to find a place to stay. I was just standing on the side of the road when an old lady passed by. By mistake she dropped a card. In the card it was written "Black blow- a resort for all"; it was a weird name but I had nothing to do with the name. I ran behind the old lady and gave the card to her. She thanked me and suggested me to follow her and she'll take me to a resort. I didn't notice that I never told her that I was in need of a resort.

I followed her and believe me it was the most haunted path I ever have walked through. She took me to a resort which seemed to be very old, I mean very very old.
As soon as I entered the resort, the old lady vanished. I went to the receptionist and asked them if they know where the old lady had gone. But she bluntly replied,"You need not to worry about others, here is the key and now quietly move to your room." I was about to shout at her but thought not to meddle because they could even kick me out their resort. So better be quiet. I followed her instructions and without arguing took the key and went to the room.

The next day I freshed up to go to the meeting. I called your mother and with this I started off my day. As soon as I opened the door I screamed and I was even about to faint. I saw a man at my door. A man equal to my height, eyes bulging as if they'll fall, he was very pale and week and much more.

Now the receptionist came and shouted at me(:.much louder than me), "Stop disturbing others, if you want to leave; just leave." I silently gave her the keys. She with a surprised look said, "You are leaving?" I said, "No, no just leaving for office, I'll return."

I left for the office. A nice day it was. After I finished my work I was going back to the resort. There were lots of sounds that could terrify anyone. I took out my earphones and walked my way listening to my downloaded songs.

Today the resort was filled with people. B.....bu...but they all were not like humans....all of them were bathed with blood I got nearly a heart attack when.......when a glass of water was spilled on me. I awoke. Actually a little girl hit me with her bat just for fun....ya just for fun.
But something different was there...or I could say similar to that what I saw just now in my dream.....lots of people....very pale and strange. Without any further thoughts I took my keys and ran to my room. I took a bath for refreshing my mind and decided to talk to you and your mother. After a long conversation I had gone to sleep.

At one I suddenly woke up, there was someone screaming outside. I thought of just closing my ears and sleep but thought that someone needs help and I should help. With no more thoughts and lots of guts I peeped outside my door. There was no one outside and even the sound was no more audible. Suddenly, there was a blackout, I was not able to see anything. I was really scared. My room was on the first floor but after the blackout I was in the ground floor's gallery. The lights turned red from yellow. The lights even started blinking. I saw here and there and suddenly a group of bats attacked me. With lot of efforts I moved them away. When I saw on my left side...there was a man drenched with blood and even was playing with his eyeballs as a joker in a circus.

I screamed looking at him. I tried to run but then I realised that I was freezed. I was not able to move my body. He was moving towards me and I could do nothing. My voice was choked, I couldn't even scream or call someone out for help. He was nearer and nearer but I could do nothing. That person came in front of me and you know what, he took my eyeballs and placed his and splashed blood upon me. After all this He went away laughing. But this was not over yet. In front of me was a door locked with chain. It was okay until hands came out from the door screaming and shouting. I felt that they'll take me with them. Suddenly I remembered the face and name of 'Kanha'. Your mother's bhakti towards god helped me. Everything vanished and I found myself; just lying on the ground......
