Adrenaline

On the night of a cold chilling, Friday laid a pool of blood which was owned by a poor desolated family girl on the bridge of a small village of Calshela in the middle of Karnataka. Who knows the secret of that lone girl. She was the only child of her poor family. She was so poor that she had only some papers to sell on the streets of Mangalore. One day, when not even a single paper was purchased by anyone, her parents became angry and threw her out of the house. She was having a slight fever due to the cold circumstances of that city.

Now the only chance was to escape from the city so that she could escape her torturous spell of her family. She was lucky to have a free bus to Bangalore when a bus driver heard her story and had sympathy for her. He decided to drop her in Bangalore and try to give her some work and earn her own money. In the bus sat three youngsters, an old lady and a child with her mother. Except for them, the other seats were all empty. The bus started from Mangalore. All was good until it was 9 PM. She felt uncomfortable. 

Just as when the bus got onto a bridge on a small river, one of the youngsters grabbed her hair and threw her out of the bus. She had hit the pole of the bridge, leaving her bleeding on the head, and further to her death. But no one understood why the youngster threw her out of the bus. The youngster was jailed and her body was buried under that same bridge that next day. The old lady sitting by her side in the bus saw her expressions before throwing her out. She was too uncomfortable on the bus. 

The last words from her mouth were, " I am not able to speak properly, and I am so confused like the words in the dictionary that what is happening to me. "She was in nostalgia. The youngster was hit with some rods when he decided to explain that a man gave him money just before the day of death. He was told to kill her. He soon disappeared in the mist that night.

Her parents when heard the news, were shocked, they had the gut feeling why they threw her out when no paper was sold that day. They didn't even think of such a disaster as they were uneducated and they were very short-tempered. If they were educated then maybe they hadn't done so, but unfortunately, they were uneducated. All they had got was the short-tempered angriness which they removed on their child. They didn't keep their child properly and protected. They were feeling guilty. 

The lone girl's parents were killed by an unknown later that month. After a month, a guy was walking by that bridge sharp at the time when that lone girl was killed. He was returning from his office. He used a shortcut to his home, and he was running like hell on that road. As soon as he stepped on the bridge, he heard creepy footsteps coming from the back. He slowly turned around to see no one. The creepy footsteps sound came again from the back. Again nobody to be seen. 

Now he was scared. He was blind and frightened. His heavy office bag fallen down. He turned his head and body 360° and there was no one. Suddenly a mirror fell down from the sky. It had a crack on the edge. He lifted it up to see a ghost of the same lone girl. He was scared and fell unconscious. He was running nuts and his mind driven to hell. His hands shivering. The ghost took him up by his neck and therefore choking him to death.

The guy was the released youngster from jail that month. It seems that the ghost took revenge for her death. But no one else was harmed after that incident until some more years. There was a railway crossing just after that bridge. Garibrath Express was on its way to Bangalore. The Investigator was returning back from Vishakhapatnam as he had been promoted to a policeman. And his name was Ritesh. Ritesh was a policeman now because he had solved one of the biggest mysteries of all time.

Ritesh had a dictionary, which he used to read as he likes exploring new words. He had almost all the editions of the dictionary. But he took only one edition that is the 35th Edition. Suddenly the train stopped at the front of the lone girl's bridge. It seems that there was no clearance for the train. It halted there for quite a long time so Ritesh decided to move to the engine and ask the train conductor to ask what happened. All were sleeping on the train as he moved by. Just as he reached the engine, there was an empty seat with no driver. When he called the railway office, they said," There is a driver exchange and until 6 in the morning no one will come to drive the train. "

Ritesh had to reach Bangalore by 10 but due to train issues, he had to abandon the train and catch a bus from the road nearby. Luckily, a bus came and Ritesh went inside the bus and it was too going to Bangalore. It had the same bus driver with the same two youngsters(the other one had been executed by the ghost ) All to be the same scene as in the lone girl's bus. Ritesh, being an Investigator, was shocked to see some suspicious behavior of the remaining two youngsters. 

Suddenly, to cut the suspicion one of the youngsters asked, " Anything you need, sir? ". According to Ritesh, something was wrong with the bus as it was a late-night bus. Ritesh removed his mirror from his bag to check his face. As soon as he removed and checked his face, to his surprise, one youngster tried to hide a knife in his pocket as it was reflected. Slowly, they came nearer to the Ritesh. They were very suspicious. As soon in the meter, with no weapon in hand, Ritesh took out his thick dictionary and slammed it into the youngster's face. The other was hiding his sharp keychain which he responded running back to Ritesh to slice him off. 

Ritesh took his defensive postures and with enough defense, he banged the other youngster down. No one else except the bus driver was remaining. Ritesh heard some humming noise from the driver's seat. The youngsters were unconscious. And the driver responds, " I am the mysterious black-clothed man. I hate that lone girl. You were her Investigator. The lone girl once stole my gold chain, silver trophy, and my platinum watch and had it sold in the market. And she was too smart to pickpocket me. Do you know she removed my badness when I was going to be a politician? She came in there and for me my whole career was spoiled. I am short-tempered. So I decided to kill her. And now this is a suicide mission. This bus will not stop until the gorge, it will fall in there. And you and I will be the victims. "

The ghost can hear him from far. All of a sudden it enters the bus and now tries to help Ritesh because he had tried to solve her mystery.
