it was a dark night and I was returning back home from work. I was tired and the my only wish was to lay down in my bed at home. my usual route being blocked I had to go through a desserted path . I was moving slowly when I heard a rustle of leaves. as anyone at that moment would do, I ignored it. as I moved forward I had a felling that I was being followed. there was a ghostly silence. maybe it was true ? what shall I do? I am gonna die - these questions appeared in my mind as I moved further . suddenly I thought I had to stop or it would come to my house.
without further thought I stopped . the footsteps behind me also stopped. I had to face it now or later. I turned behind and saw there was no one . I ran as fast as my feet could carry me to home. I heaved a long b breathe when I reached home. the next day I consulted a elderly women in my neighbourhood. that's when I got to know the real story. the road I took was , as believed by all , cursed!. many travellers had fell dead there without any health reasons . the doctors told that they were in perfect health but dead!
i was surrounded by many important people but no one that i knew
there isn’t a single person on board. It is possible because the boat is filled with people, who are not single. It denotes the marital status of everyone. So the people who all are present in the boat are not single; they are married.
