Time for some short stories...

ONCE UPON A TIME - PART 1

After I completed my work at the office, I was going home and in my way I slept. I woke up slowly..

I am in a rare place. I am tied to a chair with a rope. I tried to stand up but couldn't do it, as my legs were also tied. I shouted," Anybody here??? Who did this to me. Reply please."

Why would the kidnapper tell you his/her identity to you, idiot. My subconscious mocked me inwardly. I tried to calm myself by taking deep breaths. I remembered the jist from "Lost In Space, Season 2" that, "If we are in a worst situation, we shouldn't blame ourselves for our faults. Instead we should think of ways to escape it."

Sorry, as I didn't introduce myself. I am Bhargavi and I work in a software company, which pays for all my needs.

Now thinking about it I was working till late night in the office. I was going home in my car, when I started feeling drowsiness. I stopped at a nearby cafe. I took a cup of coffee to refresh my body. But still the amount of caffeine was not enough to keep me out from my sleep. So, I stopped nearby a bus stop and took a nap.

And boom! I am here now, in a closed room.

I started to observe my surroundings. I felt an adrenaline rush and a pinch of fear.

The walls are filled with paintings of un-heavenly things i.e. ghosts. I gulped my own saliva. There is a CCTV camera at one corner and now I knew that my kidnapper/kidnappers can see me. There is a 6 foot door in front of me, even though it is some feet away. The room is covered with black and blood-red colour.

To my bad luck, there is only one light present and sometimes blinks too. I don't know how horror movies were shot, as I didn't like my gut feeling.

Calm down, calm down Bhargavi. You can escape. Think, think!!!

I tried to loosen my ropes around my hands. After struggling for 10 minutes, they came off. I immediately threw the rope away and untied my legs. As I stood up, I removed my denim jacket and covered the CCTV.

I checked my jeans pockets and retrieved my phone. Devuda(it means oh God), my phone's battery is dead. And I can't find my car keys.

Suddenly, a loud alarm went off....
