My eyes got stuck on the wall clock after few minutes finally school bell rang and all the classes were over.
I was so new in the town. I had got admission in new school,i got new friends, new atmosphere.Everything was so new to me. My father got transferred here four months ago.
I only knew one book shop at that time, from where I used to buy books,comics magazines and stuff.
One very fine day, it was Sunday I remember, I was just wandering across the streets, exploring the new place.
As I passed by my school road, I saw a street, a narrow street, " how come I never noticed it " a thought crossed my mind.
I m a very curious person and next moment I was paddling with full excitement with maximum speed on my red and blue bicycle.
I was ready to find out about this new street.
Finally after two or three minutes I found one book shop. I parked my bicycle there were no customers and the shopkeeper gave me weirdest look.
I was taking a look at books in the shelf and I noticed one laying down at corner. I picked it up "the house of horror" addressed the book in the bold golden letters. It was red in color, seemed to be kinda old.
I payed for that book, reached home and started reading it curiously, on the very first page it was written "Don't go deep".......
"whatever "I whispered to myself.
The story was about four friends that how they got trapped in a haunted house and survived that adventure.
After three or four chapters and that book was giving me creeps. Damn!!! It was actually very scary. It scared the shitt out of me..........
Next day again I continued reading, my mom and dad weren't home that day. I was alone with my elder sister. It was midnight and I was still reading with all my focus then suddenly the power went off, it was so dark.
I got really scared and then suddenly I heard my sister screaming making me freak out. I ran downstairs, she was in the living room, as I got there and she fainted. After few moments, Somehow she reagained consciousness.
"what the hell happened Kaya?? "I asked
"I saw someone" she managed to speak
"who" I asked
She couldn't utter a word, she was shivering with fear.
It was 2'o clock in the morning and there came a knock on the door, I thought mom and dad were home as I went to open the door, there was one gentleman standing with hat on his head.
"who are you? "I asked and frowned
"the book boy ledge" he grinned tilting his hat.
Those four words blew my mind.In the book which I was reading there was one guy named ledge, he was one of the character and his appearance was also matching as per described in the book.
I shut the door on his face and rushed upstairs, I was hyperventilating, my throat went dry,my brain was trying to process what I just encountered.
I opened the door of my room and threw that book out of my window, I had no idea what I was doing.
One week later, I was with my friend Lanie, she had to buy a book for herself. I told her about the same book shop from which I got that creepy book.
She wondered which shop I was talking about.
I took her to the same street, we paddled for three minutes again and............. The shop wasn't there.
"I promise it was here" I shouted
"there wasn't any book shop or any sorta shop here ever idiot" Lanie mocked me
There wasn't any shop ever existed. What!
I decided not to mention about this whole incident ever otherwise people would think I m mentally retarded.
Was that my illusion? My dream? I Don't know what was that.
But whenever I recall this memory it always scares me.
A/N-hey guys it's my first story I have ever published.so please forgive me for any mistake and be generous to like and comment.
