Room was dim lit...
He was scared, he knew that some stranger was in his house cause he was constantly hearing footsteps!!
His heart was beating so fast that it's sound clearly was audible!!
It was 11:57 pm in the clock!
He was convinced that he was being robbed.
He took his hockey stick in his hand took a dip breath, glanced at wall clock while silently moving towards the door, it was 11:59!!
He heard footsteps getting closer...!!
He was in perfect position to hit the robber...!
As he heard the final step he swung the stick hard, he heard big shout of people saying,"surprise!!!" Plus big deadly cry of a person who was hit!
In few seconds he realised that he just had hit his best friend, who was lying dead on the floor!! surprises, pranks are fun till certain extent, when it crosses that limit it doesn't take much time to accidents to take place like this!!
Lets be cautious while doing such things (or avoid them), cause we don't want to lose anyone!!
