The Horrifying Evening I Story By Akshat, 14, Visakhapatnam
Akshat, a 14-year-old from Visakhapatnam, shares his eerie experience of staying alone at home during a stormy evening, where a series of unexplained events blur the line between reality and imagination
The Horrifying Evening
Once upon a time, my parents said to me that they were going shopping and would return after 2 or 3 hours. It was rainy and also a bit scary. As soon as they left, I turned on the TV and started watching a horror movie. It started getting creepier. Then, suddenly, I heard knocking at the door. I peeped through the window but couldn’t find anyone. I was very scared and frightened. I tried to convince myself, but then, suddenly, I heard another knock at the door. I again peeped through the window but couldn’t find anyone. Surprisingly, it matched with the movie I was watching.
Now, I heard the doorbell. This was getting suspenseful and really scary. So, I went to bed and slept. But to my surprise, I found that my parents had come back, and I was now calm. However, as soon as I opened the door, there was no one. This was my most horrifying evening. I never told anyone.
