8th Grader short story

 

I was all alone in my hostel when suddenly the lights went out. It was pitched black outside my window as well as inside it. I can't describe to you how terrified I was. I thought that I must go and check on the watchman to ask for the reason of the power cut." Maybe he can turn the generator on" I thought. But when I reached the musty office, he was nowhere in sight. And what's more is that the doorknob was covered in some sticky stuff, that felt like blood. One thing you should know about me is that I am the most scared guy on the block. And yet I have seen countless horror movies with my friends. So this kind of a situation almost made me pee my pants. I raced my brain for contacting someone. "Yes, the phone booth on the ground floor!" I thought. I raced down a flight of stairs out of sheer fright. Even the slightest of movements made me jump out of my skin. When I reached the ground floor, I noticed that it was raining. Like storm raining basically. I somehow managed to reach the phone booth. But, alas somebody or rather something had shredded the wiring there like it was made of cheese. And there were these big claw-like marks on it too. Now what could I do? You must e thinking that," Ohhh Advait, just run out of the front gate". Yes I could have done that but even in such circumstances my rule following brain reminded me that it was past the leaving time. Yeah, yeah go on laugh or whatever. I was going back to dorm to hide under my bed, when I heard a faint whisper calling out my name. And, when I turned to see what was making the sound, I was drenched in cold water........... as I woke up on my bed. It was my dormmate and it was all a dream!

I know its bad but, come on I was in 8th grade at that time!

Until the next time!
