Bhairvi speaks-II

It was not a nightmare…but certainly a fascinating dream…weird…
I was lost in an uninhabited building with a lot of stair rooms and huge corridors…each corridor led to another…
I was wondering there…searching something…
And for the umpteenth time I climbed down those stairs…
Found the same watchman who used to open the door of the stair room for me…
But this time he didn’t allow me to pass…he didn’t open the door…
I shouted at him but he just ignored my presence…

I was in the room…
Alone…
It was like a store room…each time I used pass through this place but never noticed anything in it…I was always in a hurry to get out of this wretched place…
Broken chairs, empty boxes, syringes and what not…
I decided to climb up the stairs…
Strangely enough, each time I was just climbing down the stairs and found myself in this room…
May be there was a way up!!!
I had just climbed a few steps when I heard a purr…
A cat was on the stairs…
Now where from a cat came here?!
I hadn’t noticed it even once…

It approached me…I stood still…
Then there were many other meows!
There were many…many of them now!!
They started clinging to me…softly pawing me…
They were all around me on the stairs…
I sat down.

They were loving me and I was loving them back…
I don’t know for how long I was there…
The bright daylight from above gradually vanished and the sparkling white light of the full moon bathed us…
Suddenly I had an uneasy feel…
The cuteness of the creatures was gone…
It was sickening now…creepy!!!
I looked into the eyes of one of them and a voice inside my head rang, “Remember me sweetie? I am back for my vengeance!!!”

I ran…I ran upstairs…I ran from the unknown…
Human mind always runs away from the unknown…
I ran into a room, a darker room…

A girl sat there…her head between her knees…
She was weeping…
Silent sobs…
Unheard…unattended…
I patted her shoulder and she raised her head…
She was me…


Now I remember…the cat…she was mine…
Oh!! Will my cursed past ever leave my trail???
