Friday Prompt For Stream Of Consciousness Saturday Is “Door”. Write About A Door You Walked Through This Week Wasn’t Your Own. Enjoy!

Dark.. Old.. Mysterious Door

When I read today’s SoCS prompt ‘Door’, I knew it was perfect platform  to write about Closed door that existed inside our old rented house, where we spent our childhood.

In our rented apartment one room was locked by our owner, where chairs, furnitures and belongings of old tenant was kept before we moved in that appartment.
As a kid I loved spending hours peeping in to that dark windowless room from small gap in the wooden door frame. I remember behind that locked door I saw cat and in Excitement I ran to tell my mom, who said it was my imagination as door was locked and cat can’t go inside, But i knew i saw it in real. Later i used to see cat frequently roaming in that spiderweb room between furnitures.

My mom started getting angry whenever she caught me peeping in  that room Instead of playing outside as I was spending most of my time peeping through gap to see cat.

Years later we shifted to our own new appartment. Initially I missed old house and mainly locked room and cat. Days passed by and Slowly with new friends and with new routine, old house n its memories took backstage.

Few years later, One day me, my parents n siblings we all were relaxing chatting when old house topic popped up.Then locked room topic came and I again said about roaming cat in that locked room. Being a teen i found sense in mom’s explaination now that how cat can managed to get inside that windowless locked room.

I asked dad one question which was always in back of my mind and that was why old tenant never came to take back their furniture and belongings
My dad said, that furniture belonged to one newly married couple who used to stay in that place before us. One day they committed suicide by hanging in the same room. House owner decided to keep their belonging in that same room and lock it before renting out appartment . Month later We shifted there. Dad casually added further that he got everytime confused clueless whenever I said cat is roaming in that locked room. He tried to see through gap in many occassions, but he never saw any cat.

I remember Many times we all heard sounds coming from that locked door but never experienced any paranormal encounter in that appartment, though we were too small to understand, but now i doubt that cat which i used to see behind that sealed door was really a cat or something else was behind that dark wooden locked door.

Believe or Not… Sometimes Things Happen Which Cannot Be Explain

In the Dark Moonless Night, Somewhere at unknown place they were walking on the deserted street. Unfortunately their car broke down in the middle of the road. Left with no choice, they had to walk until they find motel or place to spend night. They regret their decision to abandon car and walk on the street, but to turn back was impossible now as they came too far from their car, Even cellular was of no use as there was no signal.

Atlast She broke the uncomfortable silence, “I am Scared. Lets go back… I feel this place is not safe.”

“I too believe we should have wait in the car till morning, but we are at unknown place and sitting in a car on the dark lone street too is not safe. And now Going back is not possible as we came too far.”

“We should have listen to the locals to continue our road trip in the morning.”

“What??? So you want to say our car broke down because today is Dark Moon Day?? You too believe in Bad Omen like them?”

“The Situation we are facing now hints towards their belief.”

He chuckled.. With that they heard weird Sound.

“Did you hear that… What was that sound?”

He signalled her to keep quiet. They looked around. There was no one. Again they hear the same sound. They decided to ignore and continue walking.

On the open barren land, they saw a lone tree. In the dark only a Silhouette of a tree and a crow sitting on top was visible from afar. It was as if the gaze of the crow was following them. When they reached near the tree, the crow transformed into big human shadow. For a moment they freezed, then turned around and ran until they reached their car. Sitting in the car they kept staring at the dark street breathless and frightened. The black shadow appeared at the far end of the street. All of a sudden it charged towards them. It was about to reach the car, but at the same time first ray of Sun touched the ground with that black shadow disappeared. They looked around, nothing, no one… but a peaceful silence. He ignite his car, surprisingly it started.

Now he too felt he should have taken locals advice seriously.
