Her Dark Room

Sun rays fought hard but got splintered in shards in front of her room's window which was sealed with wood, though the faint light from the bulb could be hardly used for light. Tears streamed across her beautiful face, finally settling on her invisible dimple, as she dragged her torn dress while slogging on the floor to reach the door.

"Mom, help me, it's dark here, mom," she yelled while thrusting the steel door with her full might. "Mom..."

She slid against the door as her shouts collapsed into sobs adorning her quivering lips, she slowly gathered the shattered memories, though a headache was writhing her brain, forcing her to shut down her senses.

"It's the ice cream, yes I remember eating ice cream, but then all I know is waking into this dark room," she rummaged her fingers across the floor to find her mobile but it was all in vain.

"God, why did you do this to me, argh...."

Drained of the hope, she cried, yelled and cursed herself, while the agony sifted her mind-numbing her body.

"No, my mom, she will come to rescue me, mom..." Her vision was blurred due to the tears but the darkness seeped into her evoking the senses which were in haze as her glance fell over a dark figure of a man who was slowly crawling its way towards her.

The bulb momentarily flickered though it succumbed to death after which the darkness choked the room with its flaring intensity.

"Who. Who's there?" She stuttered, "tell me, mom..." She shouted while trying to grab something in her defenses, but went in vain. A sensation of danger dangled in her mind, tingling her, telling her to run to escape, to save her bloody life which was a shambles right now.

Her eyes widened, heart threatened to break out of her chest while accelerating the beats, sweat drops ran in rivulets to join the tears, clenching her fist, she moved back only to be destined to reach the corner of the room. A breath fanned her ear lobes, sending shudders down her body, chilling her spine.

"No, don't come near me, I warn you, no, please, I beg you, please, mommy..." She shouted as she clenched her knees, after the failed attempts of using the long nail to dig the walls. "No, don't come. Help..."

"Ah, that girl is always screaming since the day she came, what the hell is wrong?" Hema asked.

"You came newly here, that's why she is a big shot actually," Nitti replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"I didn't get it? What do you mean?" Hema asked.

"Her mom died in a car accident, and her stepfather who is a billionaire tried to rape her but she killed him, from that day itself she lost her mental stability," heaving a sigh, Nitti looked at the room where the girl was locked in.

"Poor girl!"

After a last glance at the cell, the nurses at WeCare mental hospital walked down the staircase, as the clattering of mental patients floated in the atmosphere where her screams were destined to reach and to be dissolved into a dark abyss, just like her room!

She slowly shut her eyes, letting her drench in the abyss of darkness as her body started drifting into a safe haven made only for her!
