She started to get scared. It was half
an hour ago when Ben told her to stay here in this dark alley. He went to pick
up something. She knows it would be some lovely birthday gift. But there was no
sign of him.
“Did something happen to him…” she got anxious.
Then she started to hear voices. Scary
ones, behind her. But there was no one. She started walking. The alley seemed
too long for her. Her steps picked up speed. As she reaches the end of that
wretched alley, from nowhere there was a door there. Confused and anxious she
opened it.
There again she was, at the very spot
from where she started to walk. The voices become scarier this time and the
alley become darker. She ran towards the door. She could feel someone behind
her trying to catch her. Her slender legs get tired. She can feel the numbness
starting from their end.
“I won’t give up” she decided…
With all her strength she ran. Again
there was the door. She swing it open and closed it, shouting
“go away…. Goooo awaaay from me….”
Still there she was at that wretched
scary dark alley…..

“Go away…. Go away….”
“Why is she saying that dad…?”
Claire chimed to her dad. She was visiting
the asylum where her dad worked.
“Oh, nothing dear. She is not talking to
you. She is just delusional. Come, your mom is waiting for you.”
Warren answered to his curious daughter
and picked her up and closed the door to the ward.

“Go away…. Go away….”
But still the voices continued to reach for her…..
