The Shortcut

Shiv is a college student ,he lives in a small town he likes many things one of which is football , everyday in the evening he went to play with his friends on the ground , there is a small Bamboo forest which is a shortcut to the ground and it takes 10 to 15 minutes to cross the forest, and at the end of the forest there is a well ,the area is abandoned from so many years, because a disabled woman found dead in the well, it's a case of suside , only few people use this route , Shiv use this route to get quickly on the ground ,he always use this route, his friends always try to scare him with the story of that women ,they said ,she hunts the people and cut there legs and his friends always suggest him to use the other way but he don't take them seriously.
Shiv and his friends play football till 8 PM everyday, and after playing he head back to his home using the same forest route ,it's so dark and quiet while crossing the forest he switch on the flashlight of his phone and listen Eminem , whenever he use that path he is a little scared of the darkness.
Everyday same thing college , football and home.
But one day when he heading back to home after playing football it's suddenly starts raining and he use the forest route as always, he switch on the flashlight and stars listening the music and keep walking straight towards the forest he crossed the well, he passed the half way and suddenly he feels like someone just touched his foot ,he stop for a sec and turn back ,at that exact moment his phone get switched off due to low battery,he remembers the story that his friends told him about the woman, he is not able to see anything clearly he got scared ,he starts walking back to the home ,the moment he starts moving it seems someone is just right behind him, andwhenever he steps his right foot forward the thing starts moving ,he starts walking faster the sounds get louder he, got scared stars running blindly , he is about to crossed the forest but got slipped and fall on the rock .
After few hours he found dead on that place by people who are crossing the same route ,his head covered in blood. The only weird thing is that his right shoe is got strangle with a long thread which is tied up with a plastic bottle .
And from now on the forest get ristricted.
