The Nightmare — scarynightstory

The Nightmare !!

This story is told to us by an anon. He wishes his name to be kept secret.

I was fast asleep. I wondered what had disturbed my sleep, but it was definitely some sound of the door being opened. I remembered I had closed the door before going to bed, then how could one open it from outside? I looked in that direction but there was nobody. To confirm that the kitchen was empty too, I moved stealthily towards it. Some movement was there but before I could go forward and see what the matter was, the scream of my wife completely froze my heart. I rushed to the bedroom. What I saw was unbelievable. It made me feel that I was in different world. Somebody had poured blood on her face and she was looking horrible. However I pulled myself together and comforted her saying, “ Wait, I will get some water for you”.

Before going to kitchen again, I picked up a wooden plank to defend me if something attacks me. The blood was flowing like a stream on the floor. It was hard to understand what was going on in my house.

Another surprise awaited there for me.

Two boys of the age group of 15/16 were cutting a corpse with a knife. Their faces looked white and they had scars all over their body. One of them looked at me with violent look in his eyes while cutting the dead body. Flesh and blood dropped from his mouth.

How filthy and disgusting it looked !

And scary too.

I returned to bedroom shouting at the top of my voice.

I screamed, “ Ghost…..ghost !”

In the bedroom there was another scary figure who had caught my wife. The skin from its face was hanging loose. It had black holes in place of eyes. My wife had lost all her senses and the figure was holding a knife against her neck.

“what are you doing in my house?”

Whatever it was, asked me in a hoarse voice.

“We know nothing. We have just shifted to this house”.

I told him meekly.

The boys I had seen in the kitchen came running and began to guffaw.

I was scared to death and screamed my head off.

A train passed by. The shrill whistle of the engine and the sound of the wheels running on the rails woke me up and it relaxed me to see me safe in my house at Kurla.

Thank God it was a nightmare and not that happened actually. But it was the worst of the worst dream I ever had !
