What you see is not always the truth, sometimes eyes can be misleading. Haughtiness over senses is devastating. I was walking towards my house from work, and i saw her standing, looking down from the window of a dimly lit house. Usually you remember your localities very well, but strangely I was unable to locate that house in my memory. I felt may be I was misguided by my mind, but any ways this was not a big thing to worry about.
That night when I was about to sleep, I suddenly thought of that unusual lady living in that peculiar house. And I started to wonder about what might she be doing in that house alone, or may be she has company, but something in her look told me that she was waiting for someone. But why I was interested in her life was the most important question.
In the morning when I was going to work, I tried to find that house and the lady. I looked around everywhere but she and her house was missing. And then my mind was in a state of shock. My obdurateness was defeated. Was it magic or something else? I was unable to understand anything. I just decided to not tell anyone about it, because I knew others will not understand.
But that lady and her house still haunts me, its been thirty years since that incident, but that memory is still fresh. I am lying on my hospital bed and suddenly a bright flash appeared in front of my eyes. I woke up in my living room, my mother was looking through the window, she was waiting for my father, who died when I was ten years old. And then I realized that the house that was haunting me was my own house, it was dull because at that time we hardly survived. And that lady was my mother.My mind was devastated , I looked at myself and I was ten years old. I then fainted. And now in the hospital I have a memory of that time, when I fainted in my own house. Only difference is that now I know why I fainted.
I think this couldn’t have been written better. The pinch of creepy with underlying tones of mystery and sadness all make for a savoury read.
You are really kind in saying that..thank you so much for appreciating..really glad..
Good work deserves appreciation.
Thank you..
Great read with the spice of thrill within it. And you are very much right it’s not always the truth that we see sometimes we too get mislead. After 30 yrs also the house haunts. Great read it was✌👍
Thank you so much for the kind words..keep writing..
Memories even after 30 years…is this a fiction…
Yes akhila..it is fiction..

Everything in fiction is borrowed from reality only..
Very true…there should be some relatable incidents behind every fictions
