That Strange Hotel I trembled again, that cold wind was freezing me, every thing was looking so horrible in the darkness, i never thought this jungle become so spooky at night, Ah ! i should stayed in my warm home with my beautiful wife i mumbled, bet is the worst thing in life it pounds your ego and tempts you to do kooky things, Ah ! my beautiful wife she tried but i didn't stop, i remember the creepy face of the old man when he call me coward in front of my wife how should i not take his challenge to cross this jungle in the darkness.Suddenly i heard dreadful sound of thunder and rain started with so much exuberance.Ah ! this should not be the end of this i dont want to die like this, suddenly another thunder bolt make every thing clear in the jungle for a second,i can't believe is it the house, indeed ! i mumbled with joy, i started running towards the house which again slipped into the darkness, somehow i reached there, Oh ! my God this is not a house, this is some kind of a hotel, Hurrah ! i cried loudly.

Stranger -2 It was a long day in the office, i was too tired and feeble, somehow i reach at the bus stop, buses were passing and leaving behind their smoke as an indication of their presence, "Now i have to wait for a bus? i dont know how this gonna end", many random thoughts were whirling in my mind, suddenly i saw a smiling face across the road gazing at me, it wasnt arduous for me to recognize him, he was the same morning person at the bus stop, i was flabbergasted, it was not because he was staring me or waiting for me outside, it was the the feeling of ecstasy atleast someone worried for me.

A stranger "Are you in hurry?", he was still smiling with his witty expressions, his time to time nuisance was irritating me for a long time, there were so many people at the bus stop every one was waiting for their bus, "so where exactly are you going young lady?", he prodded me again, this time i feel a little fear but i get calm immediately, there were so many questions whirling around in my mind, why he is so interested in me ?, what does he want ? , is he dangerous for me? eventually i decided to talk, "Yes i am in hurry, what does you want from me? are you insane, you doesn't even know how to talk to a woman", i uttered all these words in a single sigh, his face get paled for a moment but immediately he start smiling again, "I just wanted to help you", he said seriously and then my bus arrived i suddenly climbed on it and sat on a seat near to the window but when i look outside from it, he was still standing and looking worriedly towards the bus and then he saw me from the window a strange smile was running on his face.

Fear in the darkness It was a dark and cold night i was dawdling beside the road holding a cigarette, i can smell its whiff smoldering calmly, some times a cold breeze blew gently and trembled me by entering through the open spots in my dress, vehicles were coming from the opposite direction, their pale yellow lights were like a glow worm sparkling in the woods from the distance. Suddenly i realized that i am not alone, i can listen the tapping sound of his boots, i was in the bewilderment to stop or continue walking, i was very frightened after a few moments i finally decided to stop and look back , but there was no one i was standing solitary with my seclusion and loneliness.Indeed its a true cliche "a frightened man can be afraid of his own shadow".
