The Bitter Trap

It was a rainy evening and I was enjoying my evening walk with my old and torn Umbrella. It was a muddy street and it was not supposed to be a crowed one. I couldn’t see any living entity apart from some dejected street curs. Suddenly, I saw a white ambassador approaching towards me and after a few seconds the taxi slowed to a crawl and then stopped. A stranger got down and handed me over an envelope by wishing a very happy birthday to me. Surprisingly, it was not at all my birthday.

I was too shocked to see the letter. Meanwhile, I was still in shocked, I saw a man seating inside the car whose face was covered with a black handkerchief and was wearing a black hat. As his face was half covered, I saw marks near his eye.It were of a cut definitely. I got so frightened seeing this and there was no one near for my help. As soon as, they handed over me the letter they were gone soon. On the same night, when I got home my parents were not there in home. They went out with my relatives to have dinner. They didn’t take me with them because my exams were near and I had to study. It was raining cats and dogs outside. The weather outside was turning very bad and roads were blocked, all telephone lines were dead. While I was studying in my room, I listened banging of windows in my living room. When I went there to close the windows, I saw a man standing there and asking me to open the doors as it was raining heavily outside. I told him that I cannot open the doors to a stranger. And suggested him to wait outside till the rain stops and then he can go. But, the man continuously requested on opening the doors so he can get inside. The man seemed to be a creep. The man kept standing there for hours and then suddenly vanished. When I went on to see the man near the window, he had already gone. So, now I was relaxed that the creep has gone. After some time when my work got over, I went to the kitchen to make me a sandwich, then I was seating on my couch having sandwich and watching T.V. There I heard a sound of breaking of glass in my terrace. When I got there I saw that man throwing stones at my windows to break the glass panes. I shouted back at him asking why is he doing so? He replied that he was hungry and I was not opening the door. I asked him to stop and come near the kitchen window, so that I can give some sandwiches to eat. That man was standing near my house as he was searching for a chance to get inside. I was so afraid to see this but I cannot find any help as it was raining heavily. After few minutes that man started screaming outside, telling that he was hurt badly. I saw from the key hole that he was lying on the road and was bleeding. By seeing all his activities, I was confirmed that he was a maniac. But still he needed medical attention so finally, I opened the door and brought him inside.

As soon as he got inside, I got to know that he was psycho and he ran from a mental asylum. He kept me in his captivity and roamed around the house, playing with my dolls. I tried to free myself, when he was upstairs. I tried to call the police, but all the lines were dead and phone was in my room. I went upstairs to bring my phone when the creep saw me and we started fighting. I banged a vase on his head and he was unconscious. When i got in my room, I saw the letter that I got from man in the ambassador. When I turned it back, I saw a phone number written on it. I immediately called and a man received it and said, “We know your situation, and we are just outside your house”. He said open the door. I went so fast to open the doors as the psycho was unconscious and can wake up soon. When I opened the door I saw police men outside my house came with medical staff. May be they are from the asylum. After they arrested him, the man in the car (police man) said he was serial killer who is after young girls killing them recklessly. They followed the man and got to know that the next target was me that is why they handed me the letter wishing me birthday. If the psycho would have known about this, they won’t be able to catch him red handed. So, they had to plan this.
