Day 7: #OctPoWriMo
Prompt : And then I went too far
Had penned down a short story in the recent past rotating around mystery and thrill. Lets see if can imbibe that concept with this prompt today.......
It's raining almost every day now, so unable to think of anything else but the rain and the sense of mystery that comes with it when one is unable to see the other side through the thick sleet of rainfall.
Glued to the favorite spot on the chair near the fireplace
Cozy, comfortable in the company of warmth and silence
Occasionally broke from the reverie by the knock of rain on the window pane
Lost track of time, morning and night
It has been raining continuously since a fortnight
Knock- Knock ! a sound heard distinctly from outside
Was it the wind playing pranks with her imagination gone wild?
Or was it for real......from a stranger belonging to another world?
A world so different from her own, her solitude
Her home set on the hill so far away from the confusion of city life
The call was from the mysterious world outside that aroused curiosity
S-L-O-W-L-Y she tiptoed towards the french window
Mustered courage to open the latch
The curtain stood still as if warning her against it
But inquisitiveness won the war between head and instinct
She opened the latch only to be greeted by the howling wind
The pitch darkness outside revealed nothing
There was mystery beyond the thick sleet of rain falling
It had a magnetic pull that tugged strongly at her heart
She stepped out into the unknown blackness
In quest of the strange puzzle that stood lurking at some corner
She went too far without realizing the danger
The cliff was steep and slippery
Her nerves scared and jittery
She went on and on into the rain soaked night
In search of the secret unsolved , unexplained!
Next morning the sky stopped pouring
A wonderful rainbow adorned it now
But her room wore a desolate look
The coffee cup left untouched
The breeze ruffled the pages of the unread book
It lay still , open on the table
In front of the dying fireplace!
