I couldn't sleep due to some unknown presence.Some rotten smell, the sudden decrease in room temperature without any cooling system in the room, I shivered.
Every Friday night I could listen to the crying tune of dogs.
My mother said that If a dog cried in front of your house, so there would be some negative effects inside.
I thought these things were just a mere superstition, but I could feel the warmth of those words.
As per the sound goes louder I opened my eyes slowly.
A strange dark figure was standing near my bed .
I just closed my eyes suddenly. Every God i knew or came to my mind I chanted the prayers .
A deep voice reached to my ears .
That voice:" Afraid of me? Hahaha(continuous laughter) ..
I am your ancestor . I really despise you for your negative attitude. If you stay like a stray dog I will lag you everywhere you go.
I am your 'Karma' . "
Then the voice and the environment became silent. I opened my eye lids and found the strange figure was vanished.
I thought of myself: " Ahhh . I survived. Thank you God."
Then a whisper: " The game is on my child."
A heavy laughter spreads throughout the room along with rotten smell and the others.
I just nodd my head and found him standing at my side and staring me with a laughing face.
