IT'S 1976, MARCH 26th FRIDAY

"IT'S ONE of the most terrible night that I'd ever spent in my whole life"

I am clay my father mr.clen is a business
man he travel to different countries some times it takes him years to come back to home and I never heard anything about my mom ever since I was a kid. all that I knew is that she died by some kind of viral disease, mrs.ken was my maid from a long time, she look out all of my needs and everything. she's real good but only thing she's addictive to cigarettes where ever she found cigarettes on her way while cleaning the house she just stoles it. But, that's all my dad's cigarettes. sometimes my dad on his way return to home he'll come with allot different types of foreign cigarettes to my maid. But One day at night my maid was stuck in my house because of heavy rain she called her husband through landline and told him she's safe and it's too late at night so she said that she's staying at My house and hangup the phone. So later they just sat on the table and my dad opened a wine bottle that he had brought from foreign country on his way from business trip my dad poured that wine into the glasses and they both cheered up and started talking about my dad's trip and about me. but they didn't know I was listening to them they think I was sleeping but, I was still awake listening to them.

After sometime passed, mrs. Ken asked to my dad about how my mom died, finally at that night I knew what happened to my mom. my dad said that my mom had infected by some kind of virus that makes her face dull and everything in her body slowly changing to skull everyday and sometimes while she's coughing blood also comes out, her legs are also grown bigger that she can't move. so the people they all are afraid of that viral disease to spread off all over the town and they thought it'll kill others too. So they forced and make her to let go out of the town,SO they just left her in the forest after we know what would happened she died. After I listened to what happened to my mom my tear drops fallen I cried out myself silently and I looked out the sky full of stars from my window whispering the true loveliness of my mom would shine and twinkle like a star with her bright smile on me. All that I know is when I was 8years old.

As the days gone the seasons went off and days turned out to years, everything changed in the mean time. but one thing didn't change the fear of nights. THE RED TOWN..

I'm 11years old I used to go to every street and gather all of my friends and we used to play different games and activities.we go around the nearby houses and watch out and listen them secretly. There's a house about four blocks away to my house there's this person who lives alone in there he's MR.jon, it was quite wandering me all the times. I'd never seen any visitors going to that house and never seen Mr. Jon coming out, just that single time in the midnight. I'd heard that he survived at night in the RED TOWN. but after that he's totally came back as a different person. he behave badly to the people and everyone think he is just vacuumed by the evil. He just thinks and talks to himself. But when i was 9year old one worse Thursday at midnight Mr.jon came out of his house and stood up in the mid road infront of his house and started shouting badly with larger and larger echoes it's looks like a evil presence reached in his head. I woke up for that noises it was running into my head and screaming in the darkness i feel alone and started walking out of my house and everyone was crowded outside and I wanted to woke up my friend Nick, SO I went to the Nick's window and tried to wake him Aloudly by calling Nick it took about eight minutes.

At last he woke up and we gather some of the friends and looked out what was going on there. we hid behind some small trees. It's Mr.Jon shouting loudly that makes my heart screamed enough and there's no thoughts running in my mind and nick was totally feared enough we're all shivering behind the tree. Mr.jon stepped a foot front and he started to talking with himself slowly but shouting with high pitch, Abruptly he glance at us behind the tree where we were hiding he's looks connected directly to my eyes. he's eyes are just pale blue in colour and he's nerves was visible allover like he's muscles gonna explode like grenade. he's exploding himself by some force. He's hair was really a mess it's a complete like how a newborn child were trying to write something with messy handwriting that nobody understands like that.

He was just smirked at me.
I was just freezed out by his looks and I finally fainted unconsciously. Nick and some other friends told me that they're trying to wake me up but I was just out of conscious finally Nick poured some water on my face. I woke up and we walk to the road where the crowd was there.

Mr. jon he have had gun in one of his hand and The people gathered together are trying to stop him but they feared off because of the gun in his hands which he triggered on and one of the neighborhood mr.paul had a brave hearted he came to stop him. Mr.paul said to mr.jon don't make this as your last day I beat out your ass just go out of here but Abruptly Mr.Jon raised he's gun and shot him. the bullet raised with a greater acceleration straight towards mr.Paul's head and everyone were just ran away from there and Mr.jon is acted like a vampire and he slowly walked to Mr.Paul's body and grabbed he's leg and started pulling him to he's house.

From the next day onwards, I'd got a high fever until two weeks I didn't came out and Nick he also got fever and he didn't came out until a month but I heard of this After that night Mr.jon didn't came out of his house and nobody knows what he did to Mr.Paul's body. Some of the neighborhood went off the town after that incident.

It was in the middle of the night that I was just alone myself walking the way towards my home. But I need to cross the red town to reach my home. RED TOWN It's the place where a lot of stories heard and happened a hundreds of dead bodies were found by the local police's the evil haunt place what the things happening now and it was started happening from about past 30 years ago. but some people think all that was a hoax they simple erased others thought they put themselves forward they're just brave. they think a psychic man or a hunter would doing all these killings and some of them make challenges and bets for about to stay one whole night at the red town but whoever gone they're totally gone forever. they never returned to the village again the local polices make awareness they announce that nobody allowed to leave the premises of the town at nights and nobody can roam at nights until someone find out a solution. So The villagers would come and stay at home before 6pm. If anybody wouldn't come before they leave hopes on them alive anymore. but some people were there they still alive they did survived the night they told they saw some ghost in the white dress moving slowly with her long black hair covered all over her face. Whatever the people saw it was before along ago.

Some people think they're some powers or blessings are there to those who survived and all these stories are passing each and every next generations to be aware and people making their beloved child's safe from the evil.
