I Am Gonna Die Today
A young man donned in a sleeveless T-shirt and shorts on the red sofa is staring at the Tv, watching his favorite web Series, ' I am gonna die today!'. As his companion, a cup of noodles with warmth is in his hand. Slurps as he hasn't eaten for days. Smiles as his celebrity crush Alice shows up on his TV.
On the balcony window, droplets of rain pitter-patter. Chilling wind gooseflesh as that young man walks to the drawer next to the TV. He creaks and slides the drawer out. What he sees makes him horrified. He breaks down on the sofa, seeing no 'network coverage' on mobile.
It's just an empty pill box.
The T-shirt is soaked to the skin. Eyes are restless. Water drops dribble into the sink as he sinks into the vortex of fear. He walks into the kitchen to turn it off. The vision of those dark eyes turns blind. Power-Cut has happened all over that place.
Rain begins smashing on that balcony window. A blinding flash lights up for a second and
A THUNDER.
He's blind again in the darkness. Something creeps the spine, so goosebumps as the beats of heart aloud. Walks out of the kitchen with a candle. Hears a sweet seductive voice, "Hey!....," giggles, "Won't you see this beauty longing for love?" She husks, "For your love."
He turns around and is awestruck, seeing a woman's hand from the darkness in the kitchen. It's as if her hand brings beauty to her red bangles. Thanks to that candlelight. She slowly steps out from the darkness. The eyes spear his heart. In the candlelight, she's more gorgeous than ever. She is none other than Alice from the web series, but she is in a traditional red saree.
In the blink of an eye, she's close to him. The tension charges up the air between them. She slices his right hand with a hidden knife in her left hand. Shoves her to the ground as she attempts to stab the heart. THUD. He looks at the bleeding and looks over the place she fell. There is no sign of her presence and knife.
"Tonight will be an agony," utters his first words, covering the bleed with the other hand. Sets the candle on the table near the sofa. That beauty might be roaming around your house with a shiny knife to slit your throat.
He sees a creature of his height smile at him from the kitchen. The teeth are not human. A mist from nowhere covers the apartment like fog in the morning. The sharp stink of blood makes him sick. He starts to run to his room as the beast steps out. He slams the door and locks it. That monster's eyes are fiery red, and its burnt skin is disgusting.
He slits his throat as he screams, "Go to HELL!" and falls with a thud.
THE NEXT DAY
"RAM was a schizophrenic and insomniac," says the cops on TV.
