OUTSIDE THE WINDOW

The story of a night when the sky was crying it's lungs out.

By AishaPublished 3 days ago 4 min read

What it feels like on a rainy day? Not just a normal rainy day but one in which you are home alone and at night, the sky is crying like it has a lot of emotions bottled up.

The same happened with Emaline few weeks ago. She was home alone when her parents went for a business trip to another city. It was Thursday night the weather was like no other day of monsoon, it was a night filled with darkness and the sky was as black as charcole, the clouds were crying their eyes and the lightning felt like the sky is going to explode any minute. The storm outside was horrific.

Emaline was watching a horror movie while eating pizza and soda. It was dim and the windows and doors were closed. The drawing room in which Emaline was sitting was on second floor. The electricity of the fist floor was gone. While Emaline was watching a movie she heard a sound coming from downstairs. She thought it was coming from the TV. After sometime she heard some noises again, now she wasn't able to ignore the sound. The noises were like a sound coming from a machine, a machine which isn't lubricated for a long time.

She put the soda on the table in front of her and start to walk downstairs the time she reached in the middle she remembered that the first floor's electricity is gone due to some mechanical issues. She again went upstairs and this time come down with a torch in her hand. She checked every single room but didn't found anything. She thought that it was her imagination and start to walk towards the stairs when she heard a knock on the door.

She chnaged her direction and started to head towards the door but in the middle she heard the roar of lightning and a flashback came into her mind."DONOT OPEN THE DOOR TO STRANGERS EMALINE." Mom's voice came into her mind and she stopped. She asked "who is it?" but no one answered. She again asked the same question but there was no answer. Suddenly she heard another knock but it was not on the door. Emaline looked here and there and saw someone standing outside the window.

She was just able to see the shadow of the person standing outside due to the storm and the water on the window. Suddenly the torch in her hand start to fluctuate and then turned off. She got scared and started to run towars the stairs and the knock on the window started to become fainter. The time she reached the second floor she was out of breath. She tried to find her cell phone but it was nowhere to be found. Emaline started to panic. At that time a voice came into her mind"EMALINE IT'S OKAY, JUST RELAX. EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY."

Moms reasshuring voice helped Emaline to relax she took some deep breaths and started to look for her cell phone again and this time she was able to find it. She opened her phone and call her mother but due to the storm signals were not coming. She tried once, twice, thrice and as much as she could before giving up. Not just she tried to call her mother but anyone she could. She called her father, friends, police but the calls were unable to reach. She started to panic again, and again some words made her relax "SWEETIE YOU ARE STRONG, YOU CAN DO IT."

Emaline now sat on the sofa and started to think about what she could possibly do? Again she heard the sound of the machinary but this time the sound started to get louder second by second. Emaline ran towards her room and hid under the bed. She had her cell phone in her hands through which she was trying to call her parents again and again but it was of no use. The sound was coming near every passing second Emalines heart was beating like crazy. Suddenly everything went still, no sound, no noice nothing Emaline waited there for some minutes and when she was about to come out someone oppened the door.

Emailine again hid under the bed. The two foots were walking here and there the person walking in her room was driping water as he was drenched in rain. Emaline was still under the bed the person walked here and there opened the cuboard and window but after some time of searching he started to walk towars the door. With every step he took away from Emaline she was feeling better but as he was about to close the door Emaline's mobile started to ring. She looked at her phone and it was alarm. She turned it off but now it was of no use someone holded her foot and draged her out of the bed.

The man was so scary, he had stiches on his both cheecks and his theeths were yellow as he smiled at Emaline. Emaline started to shout and kicked the man in gut and tried to run away but it was of no use. The man tied Emaline with her bed and bring a chainsaw from somewhere outside. The house was now filled with noises. Noises of every kind, laughter, roars, shouting and so on. In no time the bed was covered with blood and the noses stopped. Only the sound of lightning was filling the air and surrounding the neighbourhood.

The next day police found pieces of Emaline inside a white colored bag which turned red due to blood but the man outside the window was never founded.
