The road of scary noise

By: Mouli Verma 

Shock! Did I see something I was not supposed to? Emma pinched herself twice and then was sure that what she saw vanished in the blink of an eye. It was 2 am, the roads were empty and she was all alone. Not even a single noise was there except the walking sound ‘thik thik thik’. She tried to look back but was so scared and decided not to stop. The voice was becoming clearer than before, she wandered off the road and didn’t know what to do now. ‘Should I keep walking or look behind?’ Emma asked herself. Suddenly, a voice came and Emma looked at her hand and someone was holding it. She screamed in fear and the noise stopped.

She ran as fast as she could and found a police station. When she looked behind, there was no one. The policemen calmed her down and dropped her home safely. Emma felt relaxed once she entered her home but the moment she slept she heard that noise again. She covered her face with a blanket and slept soundly. The next morning was relaxing for her as she felt fresh and didn’t want to remember what she saw last night.

She dressed up and left for her office. At night, she heard the same noise but this time she was having her car. ‘What the hell? Is that something unbelievable or just an illusion?’ she asked herself. She drove her car as fast as she could and reached home. The moment she reached home she got into her bed and slept peacefully. This continued for 4 to 5 days.

On Sunday morning, she was taking a day off from her work. That day she got time to think about what she had seen in the last 4-5 days. After thinking a lot, she reached the church and told the whole story to the father.  He gave her a locket and said, “Wear this locket and chant this mantra whenever something strange happens to you.”

She followed the same and everything calmed down within a few days. She started living her normal life.
