TRAP

The door bell rang

in the dead of night.

‘The door is not locked

from inside, please come in’ – she invited him.

A shudder ran down

his body.

He was shivering with fear.

‘Come inside, why this

hesitation?’ – she invited him.

‘How dare she keeps the

door open?’ – he was

asking himself.

It was thick darkness inside.

He couldn’t see anything inside.

With cautious steps he

entered the room.

‘Could you switch on

the light? I can’t see you

or anything inside’. – he pleaded.

‘Why not? With pleasure

of course’ – she answered.

Next moment, light filled the room.

He looked around.

There was nobody in the room.

And there was no furniture.

The room had virtually nothing

inside the room.

‘Where are you? I can’t

see you?’ – with thumping

heart and trembling

voice he was asking.

There was no answer forthcoming.

All of a sudden the

light went out and

thick darkness spread inside.

Summoning courage he wanted to run away.

But the door was locked from outside.

He found himself between

the devil and deep sea.

He wanted to cry aloud

but no voice came out of him.
