A Pet Monster
#WritcoStoryPrompt22
The howl that rang out the silent night was heard across the slumbering streets.
The hair rose at the back of their heads.
The monster had escaped...
Everyone started to run with the releas
of the news that the monster had come out. Though they said so, noone had still seen it moving or heard being in the presence of such a feary animal. Some let it down only by calling it a stupid lie of some idler who passed that way in his drowsiness. Yet others were of a view to complain it a bad rumour like fire on the haystack or as a superstitious belief of a foolish crowd. What we had then left in the list to believe was something after taking those assumptions into consideration,like a summary of it or rather an analysis of them.
If it's a monster, is there really a monster? How does it come out or when and why are all the questions that need possible answers. Some people say that it comes out of a house in the furthest corner of the same road where we took new place for lease. Could it be a big dog like a hound in The Hound of the Baskerwillles.
In the silent night with no protection of a moonlight what one could do to save himself? And a monster being out, waiting to gulp you down in one mouthful was another eerie feeling.
We will hear more of it the next day, said one of the runners
Where shall we go from here?
said another sadly.
To that jungle?
No way,
Norway?
No, no I just meant no, there's no going there
This is something scary and frightening to hear, if someone is not eaten by him, that 's the only thing left for us to be out of fear, yet....
No, I heard it had attacked a person, I don't ever like to think ,the watchman
What became of him?
No one had still seen him .
Oh god!
There were not sure what to do since, the very thought frightened them. However none had witnessed to have seen it, if one happens to see it, he
wouldn't stay alive next moment.
Rafil with his camera thought of seeing it to take a photo of it,though he wasn't a professional in it, still he managed to take sights from fast moving trains and busses, for which he had fine experiences so far so good to face this risky situation.
It was a week now since the outbreak of the monster and it was reported to have taken ten lives at a stretch ,who had been walking around the vicinity for various reasons. Most of them had passed that way unknown,except the watchman.
Ten days have passed since then. Rafil decided to visit the place where it was thought to have lived. He reached the junction and took the first turn to left. It was a lonely area with barren lands which gave no proper growing of any crop.There was a range of mountains leading towards the east and parallel to that two more mountains stood overlapping each other.
He stopped his bicycle and walked over the barren land for over a mile. He heard nothing or saw anything suspicious. He knew he could reach the other side easily through this way. When he passed the second mile post he saw a gabled house far away through the tree -groves and the shrubs. The road directly went to the house which was on a small mountain.
He asked from a boutique nearby about the house that was visible to the road .
Who lives in that house over there?
An old woman lives there with some servants. She cannot hear properly. Most of the time she doesn't come out of her room because she is very weak.
Servants?
Yes, look! the man who is coming is one of them. He comes to take the paper every morning at about this time.
It was 9.45.a.m.That was his time., but not today.
The paper? he demanded.
Yes here it is
He took the paper and left quickly without looking at anyone. He noticed that there was some kind of guilty feeling mixed in his face when he took the paper.
Do you know anything about a feary animal?
Ah, yes it is said to have come from that house.
Didn't you ask that one
We did.
But he said nothing.
Can't it be an animal, like a dog or a cat?
No, it was very huge and fierce.
Did you see it?
No, I 've heard it.
The next day he wanted to see the place by himself without being seen by the boutique owner.
He took the long way round to reach the house from other side. He watched the house from behind till he caught a sight of a man or a woman in the house. Half an hour later, he saw a woman coming out with a basket. She went round the house inspecting aa and left from the front gate. Then a man came with a long stick and kept it in the store room. He took a hoe and started to dig the ground. After several blows that hit the ground, man looked up and listened, he heard something from the house, it was a ravenous sound, Rafil too heard it very loudly like a piercing roar. It was at the door.
oh, look at that! Rafil took a photo of it quickly next moment it sprang upon the man digging the ground. Who was that man? That was all I saw. I couldn't make up my mind to see the rest. The monster was a very huge and a fierce tiger bred in the house. It must be a well grown up one. It seemed that it had started to feed on human so badly.
Next day, I tlwent to the boutique and what I had to hear was surprising.
He told me that the monster had taken another life, it was the man who came to dig a pit in the house. How did the animal see him?The cage wasn't locked after the breakfast that was all I got. Who kept a monstrous tiger in the house?
It belonged to the owner that was the master, he had died a month ago and had told the servants to look it after as master did for his own sake.
If they cannot do it well, call the police or the animal care centre, and they will resolve it before it destroys many more lives. Said Rafil and left the place .
Day followed by many incidents which occurred for the well-being of all.
