The Meet Of Death

It was an exhausting day and I was returning after my afternoon shift at midnight. Suddenly it started raining heavily. How I wish I had a spare umbrella! But I couldn't resist giving it to a beggar! I ran towards the bus stop in order to prevent myself from getting wet. As I waited for my bus, lightning struck and a woman appeared who started walking towards me with a knife in her knife...... WAIT! A KNIFE! Oh, mother Mary, mother of Jesus protect me from this evil spirit who is walking towards me. Suddenly she stopped. She lifted the hand which carried the knife. I held my breath and ducked down. The next moment I realized myself standing ducked like a fool. THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ME! I realized it was just a hallucination and tried to forget what had happened. The only thing that bothered me was that the woman who appeared was familiar to me but I couldn't make out until yesterday morning. I was sorting out my old college photos when I came across a girl just like the one who haunted me that day. It was Charolette Chamack, my pen pal. When I inquired about her I found out that she was killed by a man who was returning after his afternoon shift on a rainy day. Shivers ran down my spine.

I had the afternoon shift the following week as well. I had no other option left but to confront her. Finally, the day arrived. As usual, it rained and lightning struck. She appeared. I screamed at the top of my voice, "Charolette! I know who you are. What do you want from me?" "I seek revenge from all the murderers working till late at night and you are one of them!" She replied in a freaking voice, picked her knife and ........

My body now just served the scavengers as a hearty meal.
