in the doctors office
what's wrong with me asked the young lady who was sitting on the examination table. the Doctor replied "there's nothing wrong with you its just that you've been taking too much stress lately that's what causing these migraines". " any meds I should be taking"?. im afraid that meds won't make your migraines any better Ms.Smith. Then what will? said the young lady slightly irritated now. You can go to a hillside town I'm sure that would help said the doctor. I have a lot of office work and I can't ask for leave or I'll be fired! she exclaimed. I could write you a medical leave and like that you won't be fired! said the doctor. u can do that? she asked relieved. well i can of you want me to he replied "why not then" she said. do you have any recommendations for a hillside town she asked. there is this town called Harrisonville u can go there. I guess I going to Harrisonville then!
that weekend-
Hope had submitted her medical leave and everything was ready and she was ready to hit the road it was a long drive to Harrisonville as it was really far away from the city. Harrisonville was know for its coziness and also for some superstitious activities. after a long drove Hope finally reached Harrisonville, she had rented a little cottage with a garden and a lot of flower beds. she wasn't sure which cottage she had rented as there were a lot of cottages with gardens and flower beds. so se stopped to ask direction from a lady.
Hope- excuse-me?
the lady- yes dear?
Hope- do u know about a cottage with gardens and flower beds.
the lady- you have to me more specific, there are a lot of cottages with gardens and flower beds.
Hope- I do remember the lady mentioning it is very quiet and with the most beautiful view.
the lady got pale for a second and then when Hope asked her what was wrong she changed the topic by telling her where the direction was and hurriedly went away. Strange, hope thought to herself. then she went to the cottage and was mesmerized by its beauty. She went in and took a shower as she was sweaty. after taking a shower she sat on the bed and thought to herself that how beautiful the cottage was but at the same time the quietness made it quiet mysterious thinking about it she drifted to sleep. she woke up at late evening and then thought about taking a walk, as she stepped outside she could smell the fragrance of daisies in the air. She started to take a walk when she heard sound of water she followed the sound and then stopped before a beautiful waterfall she admired it for a while and then she thought to return back as it was getting cold and dark then she turned to go back but she had forgotten her way. she struggled through her memory for a bit but then she gave up and sat on a rock while thinking about how she was going to go back when she suddenly felt someone licking her neck, she freezed and slowly turned back only to find a dog licking her, she chuckled at her first reaction and asked him "are u lost like me too" he whined and she understood that she did. she started playing with it and then suddenly a manly but mysterious voice said "you're here but I've been looking for you everywhere" she thought he said that to the dog but did he?
"I'm really sorry he bothered you" he said
"oh no! he's a sweetheart" she replied
"I'm lost is there any way that you can take me back to the cottage" she said
" I can" he replied
"that's so very kind of you' she said
let's go he said and they walked all the way back to the cottage while talking about stuff. when she reached the cottage she bid him farewell and proceeded a bit when she realised that she hadn't asked for his name. she looked back but there was no one there. she thought to herself that he couldn't have been gone far so she looked for him but couldn't find him. she looked around and saw a woman and asked her about him she said there was no young man here and told her that there is an old legend that says that a mysterious man used to roam here with his dog in search of his wife but that was just a legend by saying that she left. Hope stood there petrified and the minute she came to her sense she ran to the cottage and packed her stuff and drove her car back to the city when she realized that she had a black bracket like mark on her wrist which won't go away no matter how hard she tried. and after that her life was never the same she felt like being watched all the time and a blur figure would always be with her....
