The real men in Black
The Men in Black (MIB) have long been a subject of fascination, shrouded in secrecy and mystery. Popularized by movies like "Men in Black" and TV shows such as "Fringe," the real-life concept of the MIB is far more chilling than its fictional portrayals. These enigmatic figures are said to dress in black suits, often appearing uninvited in homes or intercepting individuals in the streets. Their primary mission seems to be to convince witnesses that their encounters with UFOs or aliens were mere figments of their imagination, warning them against sharing their experiences with others under threat of harm.

I am Nilay. I am Honors first year student. I got admission in a private university in an unknown city outside Dhaka. I am not familiar with the way of university. I went to university only once. Tomorrow is my first varsity class. My mind is full of enthusiasm for my first varsity class. The joy of meeting new faces and making new friends is different. So I left for varsity today at 2 pm from home. I reached the station at 2:35.After that I enjoyed the beauty of the station for a while. The train left for the destination at exactly 3 pm. It was supposed to reach the destination at 7:30 PM. But due to some problem the train reached the destination at 12 o'clock in the night. I left the station at 12:20. I looked for a rickshaw but could not find a single rickshaw. Finally decided to walk the whole way. Because my intention was to do the first class tomorrow.Finally, I started walking for the purpose of leaving for about four and a half kilometers in three hours. I had to cross three terrible paths to get to my university. They are cremation forests and cemeteries. Crossing these three places is very scary... Still I left my fear behind and started the journey. On that day, the nature was decorated with a wonderful beauty. I was enjoying the scenery. After going some distance I saw a shop from there I had a cup of tea and took a pack of cigarettes and caught the first cigarette in the pack.Blowing cigarette smoke and enjoying the natural beauty, I was moving towards the university. The flickering light of the beetles on the tree branches made the scenery more beautiful. Seeing the twinkling light of the moon and stars, they seem to be in a story. It is wonderful to hear the humming sound of beetles. A light gust of wind is felt on my body... all in all, it creates a wonderful feeling in my mind. Suddenly the phone rang. I took the phone and saw Arifa's call.As soon as I picked up the phone, Arifa started quarreling with me for some unknown reason. End the quarrel by breaking up the relationship. I don't know when I lost my sense of natural beauty while fighting with Arifa. I looked at the cigarettes and saw that the last cigarette in the pack was about to end. I finished the cigarette with two pulls. Suddenly a horrible smell came to the nose. I looked around and saw that I was standing right in the middle of the crematorium.A little ahead, I see a fire burning. It is understood that people were burned some time ago. Suddenly I saw the shadow of something. Looking back, I saw a red dog standing a little far away and waving. Suddenly full moon night turns into new moon night. The dog started barking and howling. Instantly the dog was pushed from one side to the other by an invisible person. I came to the bamboo bush and read. Instantly some invisible spirit started clawing at me.I see the dog in the same situation as me. The dog's barking is deafening, and my throat is like no sound. After lying down for a long time, I got up with great difficulty. Again, that natural charms me. It was two past seven minutes by the clock. After walking for a while I felt me and the dog being surrounded by some people. I felt like I was right in the middle of the forest. The dog started howling again.I can see the noses and teeth of the surrounding people are huge. I felt someone twist my arm and sink its teeth into my body. Sucking my blood. The dog is in the same situation as me. After a long time I found a stick at hand and tried to climb it and succeeded. I slowly came out of the forest. There were biscuits and water in the bag and I and the dog finished the biscuits and drank the water together. The time on the clock was 3:57. I took the stick and started walking again with the dog.After going some distance, I heard a girl's scream. Looking around, I realized that I was standing next to a grave. Seeing the grave is completely raw, it is understood that the grave was done four hours ago and something strange is going on in that grave. The dog started barking again. Suddenly I felt the ground shaking and cracking and I was going underground. That's when I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness I discovered myself in another form.There are many people around me. My nails scratched all over my body. I am lying on a bed in a house in the village. I asked them how I got here. They replied that a villager was walking by the grave. At that time the grave looked messy and one of my hands was outside the grave. He informed everyone in the village and everyone agreed to dig the grave. Me and the dog were taken out of the grave. They asked me where the dead body was and what happened to me last night.I narrate the whole incident that happened to me. Next I ask where is the dog? They replied that the dog had been dumped in the canal. I request them to bring the dog and get it treated by a vet. At my request they brought the dog and got it treated by the vet...and I got treated by the village doctor. It took me about a month to recover but the dog recovered very quickly. I name the dog King.The name of the little girl of the house where I was staying is Sumi. He is a 10th class student. Sumi looks after me and Raja. Sumi Raja and I have a lot of feelings. Sumi burst into tears while returning to Dhaka after recovery. I completed honors in a private university in Dhaka and got admitted in Masters. One day I and Raja were sitting in the park. At that time, the life of the king ended there due to the bite of a poisonous snake. I became very lonely. After completing my Masters I joined my father's business. Suddenly one day I met Arifa.I want Arifa back in my life. But I have no place in my life for dishonesty. I tell my parents about Sumi. Both parents liked Sumi very much and while I was there I was able to win the hearts of the villagers along with Sumi's family. So with the consent of my and Sumi's family we met. Sumi is my life partner.

Echoes of the Forgotten Mansion
The old mansion stood at the edge of town, its darkened windows and overgrown gardens a stark contrast to the neatly manicured lawns of its neighbors. Stories of its haunting whispered through generations, tales of strange lights flickering in the attic at night and voices echoing from empty rooms. Most dismissed these as mere folklore, but those who lived closest knew better than to venture near after dusk.
