That one incident.

 

 

I woke up in the morning and looked around. The room was filled with sunlight and I could see dust particles flying over my head, arranged in arrays. I removed my blanket and was about to get up from the bed when I heard some strange noises. I was scared as there was no one in the house.

I stayed in bed for a few more minutes. I looked around my room and realized that someone was here. All my things were messed up. Nothing was stolen as such. I went to check the outside door and found out that it was perfectly locked. There was no way anybody could have entered the house.

I tried to recollect my previous day’s memories. And I realized that the room was arranged perfectly before. I was terrified because of the room’s present condition. I went to work after some time and tried to forget this incident.

It has been 25 years. That incident is still fresh in my mind and I still don’t know who was present there that night. But today I am not terrified. I am curious. I am anxious. Sometimes I just mess up my room and live that incident in the morning. I try to forget that I was the one who messed it up. And my wife gives me medicine thinking that I am suffering from Alzheimer.

  1. Waitttt! 😵 I didn’t understand. Who was it that night? Did you yourself mess everything up that night and go to sleep? Who made those odd noises then? Do you really have Alzheimer’s? Do you have a wife? 😛 Btw, if this is fiction, hats off to you, Shreyans. It’s a masterpiece. Your descriptions take my heart away, haha. Great work. 🌼

    1. Hi chandni…thank you so much… actually it’s all fiction..just tried to put myself in the shoes of a person with Alzheimer’s..and how he might think about himself….I just hope I have been able to do a little justice to it..
