THE MANIAC SECURITY GUARD

It was the first day of my job. I had prepared myself well but did not expect to be all alone in the whole office building except for a creepy old security guard.

I asked him, “Ramesh, where are the rest of the people?” He replied that I had arrived early and that it was not yet time for the other staff to come.

I said, “Would you please get me a cup of coffee?” He said, “Yes”and went away. He took 10 minutes to arrive with my beverage. I had it and suddenly I started feeling dizzy and fainted.

When I woke up I realised that he had locked me inside a coffin- like box. I heard his voice from outside. He said, “You are so beautiful … and beautiful things must be preserved, right?”

𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙷𝙰𝚄𝙽𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝙳𝙸𝙰𝚁𝚈

My parents bought me a beautiful diary on my birthday. It was a pink glitter diary with the line ‘Born to Shine‘ written on it. I decided to make my very first entry on that day itself. When I opened the diary, something was written in it. It said, ‘Happy Birthday Princess, a big cake awaits you. ‘ And it began with that…

When I went downstairs, I saw that an enormous chocolate cake was kept on the table. That was nothing to worry about because it was my birthday after all. I asked my parents if either of them had written the line in my diary. They said that they didn’t and even I’m sure they were saying the truth because none of them ever wrote in cursive.

Next morning after coming back from school, I thought of writing about my day in school. When I opened the dairy I saw that again there was something written in it. It said, ‘Your parents are going to scold you severely today. ‘ As expected, I accidentally spoiled my father’s important documents and not only did they both scold me but also punished me….I was grounded for the whole weekend.

For 2 days, everything was fine, except that I missed my best friend’s birthday party. I did apologise for that but I don’t think she believed me. On Monday, before going to school, I thought of checking the diary once. Again there was something written in it. ‘Your parents are going to have an accident today. ‘ I was left devastated but I didn’t know what to do because my parents would definitely not believe that the diary could predict the future.

When I was at school, a teacher informed me that my parents had met with a road accident and were in a critical condition. I fumed up in anger, confusion and sorrow. I ran away from school with the intention of setting the diary on fire.

I lit a fire in the backyard of my house and waited till the dairy turned to ashes. Then I returned to my room to change my clothes to visit the hospital where my parents were admitted. When I opened my cupboard a box fell out of it and when I opened it, I saw another diary of the same kind. It said,

You are going to die.

THE LOST GIRL

Five years earlier

Mr. and Mrs. Johnes were sitting in front of the officer, weeping inconsolably. “Please calm down sir”, said the SHO of Hillford Police Station, “And tell me what’s the matter.”

“Sir, our daughter, Clara Johnes, went out with her friends last night and has not yet returned home. We are not being able to contact her through the phone. We’re afraid, she’s been kidnapped.”

The officer filed a missing diary and then assured the couple that they would definitely try their best to trace the 15 year old girl. A few days later, after all the investigation was over, the police informed the couple that Clara couldn’t be traced anywhere. Mr. and Mrs. Johnes were broken. It seems that our little child is lost forever, they thought as they left the police station.

Present day

It’s Clara’s 20th birthday. The weather has been gloomy since the morning and there were very frequent power cuts. Mr. and Mrs. Johnes are unusually quiet today. They are not even talking about their lost girl on her birthday.

In the evening, at around 9:00 pm, there was a sudden power outage in the entire town of Hillsford. The noiselessness of the usually busy town was queer.

The earsplitting sound of the telephone made them jump with fright. Mr. Johnes went to receive the call and put it on speaker.

“Hi mom and dad! Its me, Clara! I know that you must have missed me terribly in these last 5 years. But now, you won’t have to wait any longer. You’ll see me at the count of 10. And the countdown starts now.”

Mr. and Mrs. Johnes stared at each other and froze. How could their daughter be alive. They had killed her and buried the dead body in the backyard, five years ago!
