The room seemed unfamiliar, the window was on the wrong side too ,neither was this bed the one I sleep on , this was too fluffy and comfortable. It was chilling, the AC on full blast , sleepily I groped around for my comforter . instead my hand touched something cold . It felt like clamy skin , yelping I pulled my hand away , scrambling to get up . The drapes on the windows were closed just a sliver of light penetrated through the parting I had no idea what time it was. I found my Mobile but it was switched off maybe run out of charge . scared to the core I got up trying to adjust my vision to the dark , i found the swithboard . trying several times I got the room flooded with light . Where was I . How did I get here . I scanned the room, I had never been here before , I was damn sure about that. my eyes fell on the bed , someone was lying on it motionless. A scream escaped me I covered my mouth with my hands . Gathering some courage I looked around for any clue whatsoever. I found another mobile lying on the table. With trembling hands I picked it up, trying to get it started almost dropped it . kneeling down i sat against the table . The phone finally switched on . I stared at it bewildered. It was 25th of August 5:40 pm. I tried to recollect anything from my past , The last thing I remember was my birthday party on 23rd , All my friends had thrown a surprise party for me at the "Silver Hawk" restaurant. Music and dancing and food and some rounds of drinks , what happened after that I couldn't remember. Did I go home, where was it ? I slowly crawled near the body ,did I know him ? No, he seemed like a complete stranger. I dialled 100 on the Mobile to call the cops. Someone answered from the other end . "Hello , who is it , where are you calling from , what's the complaint" I .." I'm...." I couldn't remember my name . I just stammered , I don't know where I'm, here's a dead body, of whom I don't know, can you trace my call and come here" Disconnecting the phone I tried the door , it was locked from outside, I tried banging and shouting but no avail, another door , it was the washroom. I went in, used the toilet, then washed my face ,wiping it with my shirt sleeves, catching my reflection i stared dumbfounded. A stranger stared back at me .. ..
