It was the peak of the rainy season.
As she made to retire for the night after checking to be sure everywhere is locked up, she heard a sound.
It didn't sound real to her. Maybe her imagination was playing trick on her, she thought.
She made to lay her head down on the well laid bed and there it was again; that same sound.
Terrified, she stood up.
Searched for her mop stick in the dark and armed with it, she advanced towards where the sound came from.
Forecfully, she parted the curtains.
The room was empty. Everything in place. No sign of an unusual movement whatsoever.
With a deep sigh of relief and reassured that she was overthinking things, she made her way to her room.
Half way there, it came again.
That sound; like a thud and then the shattering of glasses!
Now she was certain this noise is real.
With the last stroke of bravery she could muster, she tiptoed to the kitchen where the noise came from, armed with the mop stick.
And there it was.
A figure whose back faced her.
Noticing a presence, the figure turned swiftly and with an evil smile started advancing towards her.
Helpless, she let out a loud scream and booom!
She passed out.
