Soumya Tiwari, Class X B
I was awakened in the middle of the night by a storm brewing outside. Suddenly, the lights went out and I realized, to my horror, that I was all alone at home that night. My parents were out of station.
I quickly searched for my phone and turned on the flashlight. I was terrified and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I got an idea. I took my phone and went to the living room. There, I could see the box. I carried it back to my room. On the way, I shut all doors and windows. Once inside my room, I closed the door and opened the box.
It was my collection of candles. I placed them around and lit them one by one. My room looked beautiful. ‘They’re so pretty!’ said a voice behind me. I was horrified! I turned around and saw a little girl sitting on my bed. I screamed as I froze in fear.
The girl spoke to me consolingly and assured me that she wouldn’t harm me. I was way too scared to speak. Then she asked me to sit down and told me that she was very lonely. Eventually, I began to calm down and got comfortable with her presence. As we talked, we soon became friends. We had a pillow fight, played tic-tac-toe and even had a candle light party in my room. I must say, all ghosts aren’t bad. Some are fun too!
